In December 2017 the United Kingdom Anti-Doping (UKAD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Nigel Levin after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Clenbuterol.
The Athlete admitted the violation and without a hearing he accepted a provisional suspension and the sanction rendered by UKAD.
The Athlete accepted the test result and suggested that it was caused as a result of his use of a supplement contaminated with Clenbuterol.
The Athlete was not able to demonstrate this contamination because he was unable to obtain samples from the correct batches of these products and he had not the money to have analysed any supplements by a laboratory.
UKAD concludes that there are no grounds for a reduced sanction as the Athlete failed to establish that the violation was not intentional nor how the substance entered his system.
Therefore UKAD decides on 23 October 2018 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 13 December 2017.
