In an preliminary hearing in March 2015 two athletes testified that the respondent in September 2013 at a competition a beverage drink had offered to them. The day after the competition the respondent confessed to the athletes that the product could test positive because it contained the substance methylhexaneamine (dimethylpentylamine).
Because under the Rules the anti-doping rule violation wasn’t reported in writing to AEPSAD within 10 days in 2013 AEPSAD decides on 29 March 2016 without valid evidence to cease disciplinary proceedings against the respondent.
