The Royal Netherlands Power Sport and Fitness Federation (Koninklijke Nederlandse Krachtsport en Fitnessfederatie, KNKF) reports a violation of the Anti-doping Code (ADC), during a doping test on September 15, 2009, a metandienone metabolite was detected which is a prohibited substance. The substance was also detected in the B-sample.
The defendant didn't send a written defence, by the rules of the ADC there's no need for an oral hearing and the case will be submitted in writing.
The disciplinary commission concludes that the KNFK failed to send the report within the time period of 6 weeks. The Anti-Doping Authority failed to notify the KNKF that the period of 6 weeks has passed, also the period to make an appeal has passed.
The disciplinary commission sees the 6 weeks period for filing a report as an important guarantee for the athlete for not being to long in uncertainty about the consequenses of his positive test, the period is compelling, not a point of order.
The disciplinary commission decision is that the report is inadmissible. An appeal can be made within 21 days.
