TJD-AD 2017-005 Disciplinary Decision - Basketball

In May 2017 the Brazilian Doping Control Authority (ABCD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the basketball player after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Cannabis in a concentration above the WADA treshold.

After notification a provisional suspension was ordered and the case was referred to the Brazilian Sports Justice Anti-Doping Tribunal (TJD-AD).

The Rapporteur finds that the presence of a prohibited substance has been established in the Athlete's sample and accordingly that he committed an anti-doping rule violation.

The Rapporteur deems that the Athlete had admitted the violation and that there are no grounds for a reduced sanction. Further the Rapporteur is troubled about the substantial delays between the sample collection in February 2017 and shipping of the samples to the Los Angeles Lab in April 2017. He assigned ABCD to investigate this matter and take measures.

Therefore the TJD-AD Panel decides on 6 October 2017 to impose a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the sample collection, i.e. on 21 February 2017.
