In January 2017 the United Kingdom Anti-Doping (UKAD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the rugby player Donald Kudangirana after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances drostanolone and testosterone. After notification the Athlete gave a prompt admission, accepted a provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by UKAD.
The Athlete explained that only his use of Mutant Mass Muscle Gain protein supplement drink could have caused the positive test result. Analysis in the laboratory of the Athlete’s supplement in question confirmed it contained testosterone, nandrolone and drostanolone.
In this case UKAD considers the Athlete’s prompt admission, the seriousness of the violation, his degree of fault and grounds to impose a reduced sanction. Therefore with approval of WADA UKAD decides on 5 December 2017 to impose a 3 year and 7 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on de date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 30 January 2017.
