In July 2022 the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Perister Bosire Morangi after her sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Methasterone.
Following notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in her defence and the case was referred to the Kenya Sports Disputes Tribunal.
The Athlete admitted the violation and denied the intentional use of the substance. She explained with medical information that prescribed medication was used in a hospital as treatment for her diagnosed condition.
ADAK contended that the Athlete failed to demonstrate that the violation was not intentional, nor how the substance had entered her system. Further ADAK had established that the prescribed medication used for her treatment did not contain prohibited substances.
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 determines that the Athlete failed to establish that the violation was not intentional, nor how the substance had entered her system.
Therefore the Panel decides on 9 June 2023 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on 28 July 2022.
