In December 2015 the United Kingdom Anti-Doping (UKAD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the boxer Jeremy Wilson after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance furosemide.
After notification the Athlete gave a prompt admission and without a hearing accepted the provisional suspension and the sanction rendered by UKAD.
The Athlete stated that he had used a supplement recommended by a friend. He was led to believe that the supplement was a mixture of vitamin C powder and a caffeine-based herbal diuretic and he failed to research the ingredients of the supplement before using.
Considering that the Athlete was significantly at fault and acting without intention UKAD decides on 17 February 2016 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 21 December 2015.
