In March 2023 the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya (ADAK) reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Eliud Kibet Too after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances 19-norandrosterone and 19-noretiocholanolone (Nandrolone).
Following notification a provisional suspension was ordered. In this case the Athlete failed to respond to ADAK's communications, nor cooperated with the proceedings.
Further the Athlete failed to attend the hearings of the Kenya Sports Disputes Tribunal. Hence the Tribunal rendered a decision based on the written submissions of the Parties.
The Panel finds that the presence of the prohibited substance Nandrolone had been established in the Athlete's sample and accordingly that he committed an anti-doping rule violation.
The Panel determines that Athlete didn't provide any explanation in his defence. Moreover he failed to respond at all and evaded cooperation with the proceedings.
Ultimately the Panel concludes that the Athlete failed to demonstrate that the violation was not intentional. He also did not explain how the substances had entered his system.
Therefore the Tribunal decides on 14 September 2023 to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of this decision.
