SAIDS 2014_28 SAIDS vs Daniel Jacobus La Grange (1)
March 17, 2015
On 17 March 2015 the SAIDS Anti-Doping Hearing Panel decided to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete Daniel Jacobus La Grange after he tested positive for the prohibited substance Hydrochlorothiazide.
In June 2016 SAIDS reported that the sanctioned Athlete had allegedly trained at a judo facility as breach of the imposed ineligibility. The Athlete didn't deny the violation and explained that he didn’t train or compete at the judo facility but only participated in a photoshoot.
The Panel accepts that the Athlete only participated in a photoshoot at the judo facility and considers the circumstances and his degree of fault for imposing a new reduced period of ineligibility.
Therefore the SAIDS Anti-Doping Hearing Panel decides on 8 December 2016 to impose 1 month period of ineligiblility on the Athlete starting on the date that the current sanction will end, i.e. on 19 February 2017.
