NADDP 2019 ADC vs Kurt Butters

In February 2019 the National Anti-Doping Commission (ADC) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Kurt Butters after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Cannabis in a concentration above the WADA threshold. After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in his defence and he was heard for the National Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel.

The Athlete admitted the violation and expressed his apologies for his action. The Panel considers that there was no evidence in this case that the violation was intentional.
Therefore the National Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel decides on 22 May 2019 to impose a 1 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. 30 January 2019.
