In June 2022 the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the powerlifter Taylor Shadgett after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Cannabis.
After notification the Athlete gave a prompt admission, waived his right for a hearing, accepted a provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by CCES.
Because the use of Cannabis occurred out-of-competition and the Athlete completed an approved Substance of Abuse treatment program he received a reduced sanction from CCES.
Therefore CCES decides on 15 September 2022 to impose a 1 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 29 June 2022.
