ADAK 2021 ADAK vs Henry Kiprotich Sang
July 15, 2021
In January 2018 the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Henry Kiprotich Sang after his A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance 19-norandrosterone (Nandrolone). After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in his defence and he was heard for the Judiciary Office of the Kenya Sports Disputes Tribunal.
The Athlete admitted the violation, accepted the test results, denied the intentional use of the substance and stated that he was tested before without issues. He explained with medical information that he underwent treatment for his injury and had used medication prescribed by his doctor. He acknowledged that he failed to mention to his doctor that he was an Athlete nor did he mention his medication on the Doping Control Form.
The Panel accepts that the violation was not intentional and finds that the Athlete acted negligently with his medication. Therefore the Judiciary Office of the Kenya Sports Disputes Tribunal decides on 11 October 2018 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension.
