In November 2015 Eesti Antidopingu (EAD), the Estonian Anti-Doping Agency, has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance cannabis with a high concentration above the WADA threshold.
After notification the Athlete filed a statement in his defence and waived his right to be heard for the Estonian Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel. The Athlete admitted the violation and submitted that he had smoked cannabis out-of-competition during his stay in the Netherlands, 3 days before he provided a sample and without intention to enhance his performance.
With no significant fault the Estonian Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel decided on 16 December 2015 to impose a 18 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the decision.
