On 10 November 2016 the ISR Disciplinary Committee of the Dutch Royal Strength Sport and Fitness Federation (KNKF) decided to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Person after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Stanozolol.
Hereafter in December 2016 the Person appealed the decision of the ISR KNKF Disciplinary Committee with the KNKF Appeal Committee.
The Appeal Committee upholds the conclusion of the Disciplinary Committee that the evidence showed that the Athlete committed an anti-doping rule violation for testing positive for the prohibited substance.
The Appeal Committee considers whether there are grounds for reduction of the imposed sanction and whether the violation was without intention to enhance his sport performance.
The Athlete asserted that the meat he consumed and had purchased in the stores of two large Dutch supermarkets was possibly contaminated due to the meat was supplied by a meat wholesale involved in the sale of large numbers of contaminated meat to European firms. The Athlete admitted that he had no evidence for his assumption.
The Committee establish that the Athlete only provide assumptions about how the prohibited substance came into his body. The Person failed to produce additional information about the meat he had consumed, nor was further investigation conducted to prove whether the meat was supplied by this wholsale to the two stores.
Without grounds to reduce the sanction the ISR KNKF Appeal Committee decides on 2 February 2017 to confirm the imposed 4 year period of ineligibility on the Person.
Fees and expenses for this committee shall be borne by the Person.
