Appealed case:
ISR 2009 KNKF Decision Disciplinary Committee 2009022 T
September 15, 2009
The Royal Netherlands Power Sport and Fitness Federation (Koninklijke Nederlandse Krachtsport en Fitnessfederatie, KNKF) appealed against the Disciplinary Committee’s decision, dated September 15, 2009, to dismiss KNKF’s report of an anti-doping rule violation against a person after testing positive for the prohibited substance metandienone.
The Disciplinary Committee concluded KNKF failed to file the report of the anti-doping rule violation within the timelimit. Neither did the Anti Doping Authority thereafter.
The Appeal Committee ruled a written proceeding and followed the Disciplinary Committee’s decision regarding KNKF’s failure to report. Therefore the Appeal Committee dismiss KNKF’s appeal and decides to let the interest of sportsmen prevail in a timely trial, not a flexible deadline to report anti-doping rule violations.
