In March 2010 the Dutch Rugby Union (Nederlandse Rugby Bond, NRB) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Person after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance methylhexaneamine (dimethylpentylamine). After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Person filed a statement in his defence and he was heard for the NRB Disciplinary Committee.
The Person stated that he trained at a professional fitness center and there he purchased the supplement NO Explode without intention to enhance his performance. He assumed that this supplement was contaminated with the prohibited substance in spite of his expectation that he had purchased clean supplements. He argued that he researched the ingredients of the supplement before using and that the prohibited substance wasn’t mentioned on the label.
Considering the Person’s statement the NRB Disciplinary Committee decides on 15 April 2010 to suspend the proceedings in order to give the Person the opportunity to test his supplement in an accredited laboratory to produce evidence of contamination.
