Appealed case:
JBN 2011Decision Disciplinary Committee 2011034 T
August 25, 2011
Person appealed against the decision for ineligibility for 2 years, dated August 25, 2011, by the Judo Bond Nederland (JBN) Disciplinary Committee.
Person argued that the Disciplinary Committee ignored person’s statement about the supplement he used, and the committee’s decision for ineligibility without exceptional circumstances.
The Appeal Committee concluded that person gave a full statement about how a prohibited substance entered his body. Person didn’t know the supplement contained a prohibited stimulant ingredient, therefore person had no intention to enhance his performance.
The Appeal Committee finds person’s statement credible and decides to annul the Disciplinary Committee’s decision, for ineligibility for 2 years, because of exceptional circumstances.
The Appeal Committee therefore decides only to reprimand the person.
