In 2017 NADO Flanders has reported two anti-doping rule violations against the Athlete for possession and use after the police had searched the Athlete’s residence and found the prohibited substance Methandrostenolone (Metandienone).
After notification the Athlete failed to attend the hearing of the NADO Flanders Disciplinary Commission and a Decision was rendered in absentia of the Athlete.
Considering the evidence in this case the Disciplinary Commission finds that had been established that the Athlete had committed and anti-doping rule violation. Further the Commission holds that against the police the Athlete had admitted the intentional use of the substances for the purpose of fitness training.
Therefore the NADO Flanders Disciplinary Commission decides on 9 May 2017 to impose a fine and a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the Decision.
Fees and expenses for this Commission shall be borne partially by the Athlete.
