CCES 2023 CCES vs Alex Marcus Vargas

On 20 July 2022 the Alberta Cheer Association decided to sanction the cheer athlete and coach Alex Marcus Vargas for the use of Cocaïne including the administration and trafficking of Cocaine to a protected person.

After review in February 2023 the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) reported multiple anti-doping rule violations against this coach for his use of Cocaine and administration and trafficking of Cocaïne to a protected person.

Previously the coach had already admitted these violations committed during the Alberta Cold Snap Classic in January 2022. Following a notice of charge by the CCES in March 2023 he failed to respond.

Because the coach failed to dispute the asserted violations within the deadline under the Rules follows that he is deemed to have admitted the violations, to have waived his right for a hearing and to have accepted the sanction proposed by the CCES.

Therefore the CCES decides on 18 April 2023 to impose a lifetime period of ineligibility on the coach starting on 13 March 2023.
