SAIDS 2015_01 Zanmare Terblanche vs SAIDS - Appeal
May 3, 2016
In April 2015 the South African Institute for Drugfree Sport (SAIDS) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the cyclist Zanmare Terblanceh after her sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Metandienone. After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete failed to file a statement in her defence nor did she attend the hearing of the SAIDS Anti-Doping Hearing Panel.
The Panel concludes that the presence of the prohibited substance in the Athlete’s sample establish that she committed an anti-doping rule violation without grounds for a reduced sanction.
Therefore the SAIDS Anti-Doping Hearing Panel decides on 22 September 2015 to impose a 4 year period of ineligiblility on the Athlete starting on de date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 30 April 2015
