In May 2017 the Rugby Football Union (RFU) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the rugby player Craig Hoare after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances Drostanolone and Methylhexaneamine (dimethylpentylamine). After notification a provisional suspension was ordered.
The RFU attempted to contact the Athlete on several occasions but the Athlete failed to respond. Without the Athlete’s response the National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP) finds that the Athlete was duly notified and made aware of the charge.
The NADP Tribunal rules that the anti-doping violation has been established and decides on 15 December 2017 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 5 May 2017.
