ADAK 2019 ADAK vs Naum Jepkorir

In January 2019 the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Naum Jepkorir after her sample tested positive for the prohibited substance 19-norandrosterone (Nandrolone).

Following notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in her defence and she was heard for the Kenya Sports Disputed Tribunal.

The Athlete accepted the test result and denied the intentional use of the prohibited substance. She could not explain how the substance had entered her system. She had been tested before without issues and had mentioned on the Doping Control Form the medication she had used.

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

The Panel holds that the Athlete failed to demonstrate that the violation was not intentional. Her medical prescriptions and medications she had used could not explain the presence of the prohibited substance.

Therefore the Kenya Sports Disputed Tribunal decides on 2 October 2019 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 30 January 2019.
