In April 2019 the New Zealand powerlifter Hinewai Hausman was sanctioned for 4 years after she tested positive for the prohibited substance Clenbuterol. In April 2023, Nine days before the Athlete's period of inelgibility was due to expire, she was tested by Drug Free Sport New Zealand (DFSNZ).
Hereafter in June 2023 DFSNZ reported a new anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after she tested positive for multiple prohibited substances: 19-norandrosterone (Nandrolone), Drostanolone, Metenolone and Oxandrolone.
Following notification the Athlete gave a prompt admission for her second violation, waived her right for a hearing, accepted the provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by DFSNZ. Accordingly the case was referred to the Sports Tribunal of New Zealand and requested to render an appropriate decision.
The Tribunal deems that the Athlete had committed a second anti-doping rule violation. Because the Athlete gave a prompt admission and accepted her sanction she received a 1 year reduction from the Tribunal.
Therefore the Tribunal decides on 26 July 2023 to impose a 7 year period of inelgibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 23 June 2023.
