In October 2015 the South African Institute for Drugfree Sport (SAIDS) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the powerlifter Willem van der Walt after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances Stanozolol and Metandienone.
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete admitted the violation, filed a statement in his defence and waived his right to be heard for the SAIDS Anti-Doping Hearing Panel. Considering the Athlete’s admission the SAIDS Anti-Doping Hearing Panel decides on 17 December 2015 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 15 October 2015.
