In January 2017 United Kingdom Anti-Doping (UKAD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Carl Lamb after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance cocaine.
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete gave a prompt admission, filed a statement in his defence and accepted the reduced sanction rendered by UKAD.
The Athlete explained that the violation was non intentional and out-of-competition when he had been drinking with friends the day before the sample collection. UKAD establish that the substance was taken out-of-competition, in a context unrelated to sport performance.
Therefore UKAD decides on 26 July 2017 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility starting on the date of the sample collection, i.e. on 10 December 2016.
