JADCO 2021 JADCO vs Weston McDonald

In April 2021 the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the bodybuilder Weston McDonald after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Mesterolone.

After notification the Athlete filed a statement in his defence, admitted the violation and waived his right for a hearing. He denied the intentional use of the substance and explained that he had used a Testosterone Booster to improve his libido.

The Panel finds that the presence of a prohibited substance has been established in the Athlete's sample and accordingly that he committed an anti-doping rule violation.

The Jamaica Independent Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel decides on 18 June 2021 to impose a 30 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 29 April 2021.
