In November 2015 the South African Institute for Drugfree Sport (SAIDS) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the ice hockey player Deen Zain Magmoed after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Cannabis in a concentration above the WADA threshold. After notification a provisional suspension was ordered.
The Athlete filed a statement in his defence and he was heard for the SAIDS Anti-Doping Hearing Panel.
The Athlete accepted the test result and admitted the use of the substance out of competition at a party. The Panel finds that the anti-doping violation has been established and that it was clearly unrelated to sport performance.
Therefore the SAIDS Anti-Doping Hearing Panel decides on 23 February 2016 to impose a 4 month period of ineligiblilty on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 16 November 2015.
