In July 2018 the Japan Anti-Doping Agency (JADA) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the cyclist J-5973 after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances Clomiphene and Metandienone. After notification the Athlete admitted the violation, waived his right to be heard, accepted the test result, a provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by JADA.
JADA considers that the Athlete could not explain how the prohibited substance entered his system nor that the violation was not intentional. Therefore JADA decides on 31 July 2018 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete J-5973 starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 11 July 2018.
