NADO Flanders reported two anti-doping rule violations against the weightlifter for use and possession after the police found in the Athlete's residence in November 2022 the prohibited substance Metandienone Boldenone, Nandrolone, Oxymetholone and Testosterone.
After notification the Athlete failed to attend the hearing of the NADO Flanders Disciplinary Commission and a Decision was rendered in absentia of the Athlete.
Prior the Athlete had admitted these violations and stated that he had followed a course of treatment 5 or 6 times. In view of the evidence the Commission determines that the Athlete possessed a high number of prohibited substances and intentionally had used these banned products
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.
