November 12, 2021
On 22 April 2021 the TJD-AD Panel decided by majority to impose a 2 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete after his samples tested positive for the prohibited substance Dexamethasone.
In first instance the Panel was troubled whether ABCD had established with sufficient evidence that the Athlete had acted intentionally, rather that it had established that the football club's Athlete Support Personell were responsible for the violation.
Hereafter ABCD appealed the Decision with the TJD-AD Appeal Tribunal.
The Appeal Panel assessed the Appealed Decision and determines that the Rapporteur in first instance had not voted, nor had provided foundations for his arguments. Consequently the Appeal Panel deems that the Appealed Decision was not valid because its Decision had not been established by Panel Majority.
Therefore the TJD-AD Appeal Panel decides on 30 June 2021 to annul the Appealed Decision and to refer the case back to the TJD-AD First Instance Tribunal.
