In 2023 NADO Flanders reported two anti-doping rule violations against the weightlifter for possession and use of a prohibited substance. Previously the police had informed NADO Flanders that in April 2023 they had found Stanozolol in possession of the Athlete.
After notification the Athlete was heard for the NADO Flanders Disciplinary Commission. The Athlete admitted the violations and stated that he had purchased this product online.
In view of the evidence and the admission the Commission finds that the Athlete intentionally had committed these anti-doping rule violations.
Therefore the NADO Flanders Disciplinary Commission decides on 12 December 2023 to impose a fine and a 2 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the decision.
Fees and expenses for this Commission shall be borne partially by the Athlete.
