In February 2023 the United Kingdom Anti-Doping (UKAD) reported an anti-doping rule violation against the rugby player Rob Worrincy after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances Enobosarm (ostarine), GW1516 and Ibutamoren.
Following notification the Athlete gave a prompt admission, waived his right for a hearing, accepted a provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by UKAD.
The Athlete acknowleded that he had used supplements to speed up recovery from an injury. He asserted that he was unaware that one of these supplements contained prohibited substances.
UKAD deems that the Athlete's violation was intentional and determines that he shall receive a 1 year reduction to the period of ineligibility for his timely admission of the anti-doping rule violation.
Therefore UKAD decides on 6 July 2023 to impose a 3 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 24 February 2023.
