January 29, 2010
In April 2009 the Netherlands Water Ski & Wakeboard Federation (NWWB) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Person after his A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance nandrolone. After notification the Person filed a statement with medical evidence in his defence and he was heard for the NWWB Disciplinary Committee.
The Person stated that he used several prescribed medications and he was under treatment for a physical injury. He also mentioned the medication and treatment on the Doping Control Form.
The Person’s medical history showed that he used prescribed nandrolone as treatment for a serious condition he suffered. This treatment with nandrolone ended in 2006 due to his sport career and the prohibition in sport for the use of nandrolone. Later and previously before he provided a sample he also used another medication. The Person asserted that shortly before he was tested he administered nandrolone and not his medication by mistake as explanation for the positive doping test.
Considering the evidence and without mitigating circumstances the Committee did not accept the Person's statement and concludes that he acted with negligence and failed in his responsibility that no prohibited substance enters his body.
Therefore on 29 June 2009 the NWWB Disciplinary Committee decides to impose a 2 year period on the Person starting on the date of the decision.
Fees and expenses for this Committee shall be borne by the Person.
