ISR 2018 KNKF Decision Appeal Committee 2018005 B
April, 10, 2019
In July 2018 the Anti-Doping Authority Netherlands (Dopingautoriteit) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Person after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Clomiphene.
The Dopingautoreit reported this violation within the time limit since the Royal Dutch Strength Sport and Fitness Federation (KNKF) refrained from doing this and neither imposed a provisional suspension.
After notification the Person failed to file a statement in his defence nor did he request to be heard for the ISR-KNKF Disciplinary Committee. The case was settled based on the filed submissions.
The Disciplinary Committee concludes that the evidence establish that the Person committed an anti-doping rule violation. Since the Person didn't file a statement in his defence the Committee holds that the Person failed to demonstrate that the violation was not intentional.
Therefore the ISR-KNKF Disciplinary Committee decides on 22 October 2018 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Person starting on 5 November 2018.
Fees and expenses for this committee shall be borne by the Person.
