In May 2017 NADO Flanders has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after his sample tested positive for prohibited substance 19-norandrosterone (Nandrolone). After notification a provisional suspension was ordered and the Athlete was heard for the NADO Flanders Disciplinary Commission.
The Disciplinary Commission finds that the presence of the prohibited substance has been established in the Athlete's sample and accordingly that he committed an anti-doping rule violation. Further the Commission deems that the violation was intentional since he could not explain how the prohibited substance had enterend his system..
Therefore the NADO Flanders Disciplinary Commission decides on 5 September 2017 to impose a fine and a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 4 May 2017.
Fees and expenses for this Commission shall be borne partially by the Athlete.
