In February 2020 the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Patrick Kipyegon Terer after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance 19-norandrosterone (Nandrolone).
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered and the Athlete declined to participate in any proceedings. The case was settled by the Kenya Sports Disputes Tribunal based on the written submissions of the Parties.
The Tribunal finds that the presence of a prohibited substance had been established in the Athlete’s sample and accordingly that he had committed an anti-doping rule violation.
Without the Athlete’s response the Tribunal finds that he failed to establish that the violation was not intentional nor how the substance had entered his system.
Therefore the Sports Disputes Tribunal decides on 4 February 2021 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 24 February 2020.
