ICC 2022 ICC vs Shohidul Islam

In May 2022 the International Cricket Council (ICC) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Bengalees cricket player Shohidul Islam after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Clomifene.

After notification the Athlete gave a prompt admission, waived his right to be heard, accepted a provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by the ICC.

The Athlete explained with evidence that he had used a prescribed medication as treatment for his condition. He was unaware that it contained a prohibited substance whereas he mentioned this medication on the Doping Control Form. He acknowledged that he had not checked his medication before using, nor had applied for a TUE.

The ICC accepts that the violation was not intentional due to the Athlete had demonstrated that he had used a prescribed medication for a Legitimate Medical Treatment. The ICC considers that the Athlete gave a prompt admission and that he had mentioned his medication on the Doping Control Form.

Further the ICC deems that the Athlete had acted with No Significant Fault or Negligence because he had not researched his medication before using, nor consulted experts about his prescribed medication, nor applied for a TUE.

Therefore the ICC decides on 27 June 2022 to impose a 10 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 28 May 2022.
