In June 2011 the Japan Anti-Doping Agency (JADA) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete J-4127 (the Athlete) after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Methylhexaneamine (dimethylpentylamine). After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in his defence and he was heard for the Japan Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel.
Considering the evidence and statements the Panel finds that the Athlete acted with negligence because he used non intentionally unprescribed supplements purchased overseas on the internet.
Considering the circumstances the Japan Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel decides on 6 July to impose a 6 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension i.e. on 28 June 2011.
