In December 2021 the United Kingdom Anti-Doping (UKAD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the rugby player Jamie Dallimore after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Clenbuterol in a estimated concentration of approximately 1 ng/mL.
In view of potential meat contamination WADA accredited laboratories are permitted to report af finding of Clenbuterol at a concentration below 5 ng/mL as an Atypical Finding (ATF).
After notification the Athlete gave a prompt admission, waived his right for a hearing, accepted a provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by UKAD.
The Athlete fully admitted the violation and stated that the likely source was a tablet he had accepted in October 2021 from a friend to help boost energy and burn fat.
Because the Athlete signed and submitted the Early Admission and Acceptance Form the Athlete received a 1 year reduction from UKAD.
Therefore UKAD decides on 31 May 2022 to impose a 3 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 16 December 2021.
