Facts
The Royal Netherlands Power Sport and Fitness Federation (Koninklijke Nederlandse Krachtsport en Fitnessfederatie, KNKF) had reported an anti doping rule violation against the athlete, respondent 2015018. During a power lifting event a sample was taken for a in-competition doping test. Analysis of the sample showed the presence of oxilofrine which is a prohibited substance according the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) 2015 prohibited list.
History
The athlete waived his right for a hearing.
In his written submissions he has no explanation for the positive test. A possible explanation is a spiked sport drink offered by a fellow athlete who acted suspicious. This athlete also underwent a doping test but was unable to urinate for an hour in which he drank two liters of water. This amount of water could have prevented a positive test.
However no athlete that day had tested positive, an expert explained it is unlikely that drinking two liters of water would cause a negative result for the prohibited substance oxilofrine.
Decision
- The ISR-KNKF Disciplinary Committee imposed a 4 year period on the athlete.
- The athlete has to bear the legal fee for the administrative costs.
