March 5, 2020
On 11 February 2020 the TJD-AD Panel decides to impose a 12 month period of ineligibility on the football player after he tested positive for the prohibited substance Isometheptene. In first instance the Panel accepted that the violation was not intentional, that the substance was used as medication and mentioned on the Doping Control Form.
Hereafter the Athlete appealed the Decision with the TJD-AD Appeal Tribunal and requested for acquital. The Athlete argued that the violation was not intentional, that he acted with a low degree of negligence and that he had cooperated with the investigation.
Following assessment of the case the TJD-AD Appeal Panel decides on 31 March 2020 by majority to dismiss the Athlete's appeal and to uphold the Appealed Decision of 5 March 2020.
