In November 2015 the South African Institute for Drugfree Sport (SAIDS) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the bodybuilder Adrian Cole after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances Stanozolol and Drostanolone.
After notification the Athlete gave a prompt admission, filed a statement in his defence and waived his right to be heard for the SAIDS Anti-Doping Hearing Panel.
Considering the Athlete’s co-operation and prompt admission in this case the SAIDS Anti-Doping Hearing Panel decides on 11 December 2015 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the sample collection, i.e. on 8 August 2015.
