September 22, 2020 - NADO Flanders 2020 Disciplinary Commission 2020001 T (2) November 17, 2020
On 17 November 2020 the NADO Flanders Disciplinary Commission decided to impose a fine and a reduced 2 year period of ineligibility on the Dutch Athlete after he tested positive for the prohibited substance Furosemide.
Hereafter in November 2020 the Athlete appealed the Decision of 17 November with the NADO Flanders Disciplinary Council.
The Athlete objected against the imposition of a 2 year period of ineligibility, refrained definitely the anlysis of the B sample and requested for the commencement of the sanction on the date of the sample collection.
The Disciplinary Council accepted the Athlete's Appeal and considers that there are grounds to grant a further reduced sanction since the violations was not intentional and the young Athlete (18) bears No Significant Fault or Negligence.
Therefore the NADO Flanders Disciplinary Council decides on 8 January 2021 to set aside the Decision of 17 November 2020 and to impose a further reduced 1 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the sample collection.
Fees and expenses for this Council shall be borne partially by the Athlete.
