TJD-AD 2020-030 Appeal Decision - Football
June 24, 2020

Previously in 2019 the TJD-AD Tribunal imposed a 2 year period of ineligibility on the football player after he tested positive for the prohibited substance Cocaine. Hereafter in January 2020 the football player requested the TJD-AD Tribunal for a revision of his case.

The Athlete invoked the principle of lex mitior to reduce his sanction for his use of Cocaine in view of the upcoming 2021 WADA Code which stipulates reduced sanctions for substances of abuse.

Pending the application of lex mitior the Athlete requested to return to training from November 2020 and to return to competitions from the date the new 2021 WADA Code comes into force in January 2021.

The TJD-AD Panel finds that the Athlete's request for revision is admissible. The Panel establishes that the principle of lex mitior is applicable and holds that the Athlete is allowed to return to training.

Therefore the TJD-AD Panel decides on 7 May 2020 to grant the Athlete's request to return to training from November 2020 in view of the new WADA Code, coming into force in January 2021.
