In January 2022 the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the football player Donovan Burgmaier for the use of the prohibited substance Dehydrochlormethyltestosterone.
Prior a CCES investigation had established that the Athlete had used the substance in 2016 and 2017 as a player of the Edmonton Huskies in the Canadian Junior Football League.
After notification the Athlete gave a prompt admission, waived his right for a hearing, accepted a provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by CCES.
In view of lex mitior and because the Athlete signed and submitted the Early Admission and Acceptance Form the he received a 1 year reduction from CCES.
Therefore CCES decides on 15 March 2022 to impose a 3 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 26 January 2022.
