ADAK 2019 ADAK vs Joan Nancy Rotich
October 17, 2019
On 17 October 2019 the Kenya Judiciary Office of the Sports Disputes Tribunal decided to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete Joan Nancy Rotich after she tested positive for the prohibited substance 19-norandrosterone (Nandrolone).
Hereafter the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) established that the Athlete had participated in 3 marathons in March 2019, October 2019 and in November 2019 during the period dat she was provisionally suspended and thereupon a 4 year period of ineligibility was imposed.
After notification in January 2021 ADAK ordered a provisional suspension while the Athlete failed to attend the proceedings. She submitted that she accepted the charges and requested the Tribunal to render a decision in her case.
Based on the evidence the Tribunal concludes that the Athlete had breached the prohibition of particpation during ineligibility and that the charges were undisputed by the Athlete.
Therefore the Tribunal decides on 16 September 2021 to impose an additional 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date the current period of ineligibility shall end, i.e. on 28 February 2023.
