In October 2017 NADO Flanders has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete for her Refusal or Failure to submit to sample collection. After notification a provisional suspension was ordered and the Athlete was heard for the NADO Flanders Disciplinary Commission.
The Athlete refused any cooperation to provide a sample during Doping Control although she was warned about the consequences. At the hearing the Athlete confirmed her refusal.
The Disciplinairy Commission deems that the Athlete intentionally had refused to submit to sample collection and accordingly that she had committed the reported anti-doping rule violation.
Therefore the NADO Flanders Disciplinary Commission decides on 28 November 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. 5 October 2017.
Fees and expenses for this Commission shall be borne partially by the Athlete.
