Facts
The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sports charges Alicia Brown, the athlete, for a violation of the Anti-Doping Rules. Her sample, taken during a out-of-competition doping control in November 24, 2013, tested positive on hydrochorothiazide (HCTZ) which is a prohibited substance according the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list. Her B sample showed the same findings, the amount measured was low (a trace) in both samples.
History
She had established that she had no significant fault or negligence because she claimed, on a balance of probabilities, that the HCTZ had entered her body most probably by drinking contaminated water at Ingersoll. The athlete had quickly admitted the anti-doping violation and had not participated in a sanctioned race for over a year.
Decision
- The sanction is a reprimand.
