In April 2023 the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the weightlifter Navid Zanganeh after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Oxandrolone. Following notification a provisional suspension was ordered without response of the Athlete.
The Athlete failed to dispute the violation within the timelines specified in the CADP and the Notice of Charge, including a deadline to respond and request a hearing that was extended by the CCES on its own accord. As a result, the ADRV, the period of Ineligibility, plus all other applicable Consequences were thereby confirmed by way of a deemed waiver.
Therefore the CCES decides on 7 July 2023 to impose a 4 year period of inelgibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 4 July 2023.
