Facts
The disciplinary committee of the Dutch Ice Hockey League (Nederlandse IJshockey Bond, NIJB) reported a violation of the Anti-Doping Code. The defendant's sample showed a metabolite of the substance finasteride. It is prohibited to use this substance in and out of competition.
During the oral hearing on July 18, 2007, the defendant declares that he is unaware how the substance has entered his body. One month earlier his sample tested negative.
The substance is on the prohibited list, however it is not a specific substance.
Decision
Because the defendant has no explanation about the origin of the substance the award is set to a ineligibility period of 2 years. A fee is settled, an appeal can be made within 14 days.
