The Royal Dutch Athletics Association (Koninklijke Nederlandse Atletiek Unie, KNAU) reported a violation of the Anti-doping Code (ADC), the defendant used intravenous infusion on August 9 and August 10, 2006.
The disciplinary committee finds no proof of the infusion of August 9, 2006. The (curative) infusion of August 10, 2006, was confirmed by the defendant. This infusion is not a prohibited if there is an urgent medical need. The Anti-Doping Authority Netherlands claims that there was no medical need however they didn't provide any proof, also the KNAU has no proof for this fact.
Regarding the date the ADC of 2004 was used and the Prohibited list of 2006.
Three statements of physicians confirm the urgent medical need.
The obligation to inform about an intravenous infusion within 10 days, as argued by the Anti-Doping Authority, was not a rule in that period.
The decision is that there was no violation of the ADC. An appeal can be made within 21 days.
