In May 2017 the South African Institute for Drugfree Sport (SAIDS) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the cyclist Michael Pawlowski for Evading, Rufusing or Failing to Submit to Sample Collection at an in-competition test on 3 March 2016.
After notification the Athlete admitted the violation, waived his right to be heard and accepted in a settlement the sanction proposed by SAIDS.
Therefore SAIDS decides on 3 June 2017 to impose a 1 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on 1 June 2017.
