In May 2016 the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after his A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance Meldonium in a concentration above the WADA threshold and collected under the Rules on 8 May 2016. After notification a provisional suspension was ordered and hereafter the Athlete failed to respond to the CCES.
Due to the Athlete failed to dispute the asserted violation within the deadline under the Rules follows that the Athlete is deemed to have admitted the violation, to have waived his right for a hearing and to have accepted the sanction proposed by the CCES.
Therefore the CCES decides on 12 April 2012 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on 10 August 2010.
