In November 2015 UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Adam Scanlon after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance clomiphene.
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in his defence and he was heard for the National Anti-Doping Panel.
The Athlete gave a prompt admission and accepted a reduced sanction. He stated that he could not explain the positive test result but continued to investigate this. He assumed that the source may have been some ‘T Booster’ tablets ingested in August 2015 when he was recovering from two successive injuries.
Without intention to enhance the National Anti-Doping Panel decides on 4 April 2016 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the sample collection, i.e. on 24 October 2015.
