The Athlete Hirut Beyene is a long distance runner from Ethiopia and who is living and training in New York City.

USADA has reported in May 2013 an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete after her A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substances methylhexaneamine.
USADA notified the person of the doping violation and ordered a provisional suspension. The Athlete filed a statement in her defence and he was heard for the North American Court of Arbitration for Sport (NACAS) January 2014.

The Athlete stated she used Advil and Cytomx for her menstrual pain, provided to her by a fellow Ethiopian runner Tefera, and mentioned these on the Doping Control Form. After she tested positive for methylhexaneamine the Athlete Tefera admitted that he had mixed the Advil and Cytomax together with small amounts of two other supplements Amino Energy and Power Plant.
USADA tested these afore mentioned supplements for the presence of methylhexaneamine. The Cytomax, Amino Energy and blended powder all tested negative for the substance. USADA could not test the supplement Power Plant due to the fact that the product was out of stock and recalled by the supplement manufacturer.

Considering the circumstances the Sole Arbitrator concludes that it is more probable than not that the supplement Power Plant was the source of the prohibited substance methylhexaneamine and that the Athlete had no intention to enhance her sport performance.
Therefore the North American Court of Arbitration for Sport (NACAS) decides to impose a 4 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. 7 October 2013 up to 7 February 2014.
