UKAD 2019 UKAD vs Conner Duthie

In May 2019 the United Kingdom Anti-Doping (UKAD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the ruby player Conner Duthie after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Cannabis in a concentration above the WADA threshold. After notification the Athlete gave a prompt admission, waived his right for a hearing and accepted a provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by UKAD.

The Athlete stated that he had smoked Cannabis the day before the sample collection in order to cope with his personal circumstances at the time. UKAD accepted that the violation was not intentional and considers that there were no grounds for No Significant Fault or Negligence in this case.

Therefore UKAD decides on 16 January 2020 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the sample collection, i.e. on 16 March 2019.
