The Royal Dutch Cycling Federation (Koninklijke Nederlandsche Wieler Unie, KNWU) has reported an anti doping rule violation against this person. Person failed to comply when person was selected by the anti-doping authorities to supply an urine sample at a competition in Belgium.
Person filed a statement in his defence and was heard for the Committee.
Person did provide the urine sample, which tested negative, but previously after notification he failed to stay under supervision of the DCO a period of time. After the finish person wasn’t quite fit and there were frictions between the DCO and person. The Person asserted that the DCO acted unprofessional and inconsiderate to person.
The Disciplinary Committee concludes that the lost of contact was only for a short period and both the DCO and person are responsible for this situation. Person is therefore acquitted of violation the Anti-Doping Rules.
Fees and expenses for this committee shall be borne by KNWU.
