In April 2019 the Japan Anti-Doping Agency (JADA) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the powerlifter J-5978 after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances Boldenone, Clomiphene and Metenolone. After notification the Athlete admitted the violation, waived his right for a hearing, accepted the test result, a provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by JADA.
JADA deems that the Athlete failed to establish that the violation was not intentional, nor how the substances entered his system. Accordingly JADA decides on 7 May 2019 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete J-5978 starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. 8 April 2019.
