In October 2011 the Japan Anti-Doping Agency (JADA) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete J-4129 (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 non prescribed supplements purchased overseas on the internet.
Therefore the Japan Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel decides on 15 October 2011 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension i.e. on 4 October 2011.
