Facts
The UK Anti-Doping Limited ("UKAD") charged Daniel Maloney (the "Athlete") for an omission of the Anti-Doping Rules ("ADR"). On November 24, 2012, the Athlete competed at the British Weightlifting Association ("BWLA") Northern Open. He placed first position in the 105 kilogram class of the Event and was notified that he would be required to provide a urine sample for Doping Control purposes. He initially sought to leave without providing such a sample, but was advised by the Doping Control Personnel that he was obliged to do so. He then provided a sample. His sample tested positive on epitrenbolone (as trimethylsilyl derivative dehydro-product) and 17-epitrenbolone (as trimethylsilyl derivative oxidation product) (both metabolites of trenbolone) and methandienone and 17-epimethandienone (a metabolite of methandienone). On December 18, 2012, UK Anti-Doping issued a Notice of Charge to the Athlete, charging him with violations of both ADR 2.1 and 2.2 in respect of each of the Prohibited Substances (the “Charges”). The Athlete was also provisionally suspended, effective from 18 December 2012. The Athlete has made a prompt admission in respect of the Charges, and therefore avoids the application of ADR 10.6.1.

Decision
1. Anti-Doping Rule Violations in accordance with ADR 2.1 and 2.2 have been established in relation to the Prohibited Substances;
2. A period of Ineligibility of two years shall be the consequences imposed pursuant to Anti-Doping Rule 10.2;
3. That period of Ineligibility is deemed to have commenced as from 18 December 2012, and will end at midnight on December 17, 2014;
2. The Athlete’s status during this period of Ineligibility shall be as set out in Article 10.10:

The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Player after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance cannabis.
The FIBA notified the Player and ordered a provisional suspension. The Player confirmed his participation for a hearing via telephone but on the day of the hearing could not be reached under the telephone number indicated by him. Therefore without Player’s statement the FIBA Disciplinary Panel decided to impose a period of two year ineligibility, the regular sanction, starting from the day of the provisionally suspension.

Facts
The UK Anti-Doping Limited ("UKAD") charged Brian Magee (the "athlete") for a violation of the Anti-Doping Rules ("ADR"). On December 9, 2012, the Athlete competed for the World Boxing Association Super Middleweight Championship against Mikkel Kessler in Denmark. Following the competition, he provided an In-Competition sample for doping control purposes. His sample tested positive on oxilofrine (methylsynephrine) and beta-methylphenethylamine. The Athlete did not request analysis of his B sample. The Athlete did not disclose the use of the Supplement on his Doping Control Form.

History
In October 2012, the Athlete suffered from a heavy cold and was forced to take a short break from his training regime. This resulted in increased fatigue. To counteract this, the Athlete began drinking coffee and Red Bull; however, the consumption of both caused the Athlete stomach discomfort. Whilst at a gym in Belfast, the Athlete purchased the supplement to replace the coffee and Red Bull. He used the supplement in the course of his training as he prepared for the bout in December 2012. He did not seek any advice regarding the use of the Supplement.

Decision
1. An Anti-Doping Rule Violation pursuant to ADR Article 2.1 has been committed;
2. A period of Ineligibility of six months shall be the Consequences imposed pursuant to ADR Article 10.4;
3. That period of Ineligibility is deemed to have commenced on January 30, 2013 and will expire on July 29, 2013;
4. The Athlete’s status during this period of Ineligibility shall be as set out in ADR Article 10.10;
5. The Athlete’s results at the Event are Disqualified, along with all resulting consequences, including forfeiture of any medals, titles, points and prizes; and
6. Pursuant to ADR Article 10.10.4, during the period of Ineligibility the Athlete shall remain subject to the Anti-Doping Rules.

Appeal
This decision may be appealed by the Athlete, the BBBOC or the World Anti-Doping Agency.

The UK Anti-Doping Limited ("UKAD") appeals against the desicon of the UK Antii-Doping Panel dated November 27, 2012. In this decision Ryan Llewellyn (the "Athlete") received an award of one year ineligibility for the use of the prohibited substance Methylhexaneamine, (“MHA”).

Issues at the hearing
The appeal committee is surprised that the UKAD makes a distinction between the use of a specified substance out-of-competition or in-competition.
It has to be determined if the specified prohibited substance was taken to enhance sport performance.

Decision
1. The UKAD's appeal is dismissed
2. An appeal can be made by the relevant international federation or by WADA by appeal to CAS.

In March 2008 the Turkish Basketball Federation (TBF) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Player after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance cannabis.
The TBF notified the Player and ordered a provisional suspension.
In June 2008 the Turkish Club Alpella Basketbol Kulübü terminated the employment contract with Player and the TBF Disciplinary Board decided a 2 year period of ineligibility starting from the date of the notification.

In June 2008 the Turkish Board of Arbitration of the Directorate of Youth and Sports dismissed Player’s appeal against the previous TBF Disciplinary Board decision. Hereafter in September 2008 the Player’s appealed to the FIBA. The Player filed a statement in his defence and was heard for the FIBA Disciplinary Panel. Player stated he denied that he had used cannabis; the doping procedure was invalid; and Player claimed he had insufficient time to decide he wanted the B sample to be tested.
The Panel finds the laboratory test reliable and valid; and the Player had all the necessary time to request the opening of the B-sample.

The Panel concludes that the Player had no intention to enhance his sport performance but also committed a second anti-doping rule violation. Because in 2005 the Player was suspended for 4 games for a doping violation in France after his sample tested positive for cannabis.
Therefore the FIBA Disciplinary Panel confirms the TBF Disciplinary Board decision for a 2 year period of ineligibility starting from the day in which the Player was provisionally suspended, i.e. on 15 April 2008.

Facts
The UK Anti-Doping Limited ("UKAD") charged Ryan Llewellyn (the "Athlete") for the commission of a Doping Offence. On March 30, 2012, the athlete was, pursuant to the UKAD Rules, selected for an In-Competition Doping Control at the Welsh Senior Boxing Championships. His sample tested positive on methylhexaneamine, (“MHA”), which is a prohibited substance included in the WADA 2012 Prohibited List. It is a “Specified Substance”. By e-mail dated May 16, 2012, and a letter of the same date, the Respondent notified UKAD that he did not require his B sample to be analyzed as he accepted the accuracy of the Adverse Analytical Finding in relation to his A sample, and waived his right to analysis of his B sample.

History
The Athlete used the product “Rocket Fuel”, described as a Dietary Supplement with the purpose to lose weight for his match.

Consideration tribunal
The Tribunal has a discretion to backdate the imposition of any period of ineligibility to the date of the provisional suspension. The Tribunal agrees with that approach and the period of ineligibility in this case is one of 12 months backdated to March 31, 2012.

Decision
1. A Doping Offence contrary to Article 2.1 of the UKAD Rules has been established.
2. The Respondent shall not, until midnight on March 30, 2013 be permitted to participate in any capacity in a competition or other activity (other than authorized Anti-Doping Education or Rehabilitation programs) organized, convened or authorized by his sport.

In April 2008 the Turkish Basketball Federation has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Player after his A and B samples tested positive for the prohibited substance Carboxy-THC (cannabis). The Federation notified the Player and ordered a provisional suspension.Hereafter the Turkish Basketball Federation decided a two year period of ineligibility.
The player appealed against this decision of the Turkish Basketball Federation to the FIBA Disciplinary Panel. The Player admitted he had smoked marihuana, had no intention to enhance his performance and expressed his regret for the violation committed.
Considering the provisional suspension and ineligibility since May 2007, and that Player committed no previous anti-doping rule violation, the FIBA Disciplinary Panel decides a 3 month period of ineligibility.
As a result the sanction has already expired and the Player is eligible to plan immediately.

Facts
The UK Anti-Doping Limited (UKAD) charged Tomasz Bielinski (the "athlete") for a violation of the Anti-Doping Rules. On February 3, 2013 the athlete competed in a 74 kilogram Greco-Roman competition and provided a sample for doping control. His sample tested positive on methylhexaneamine which is a prohibited substance. On March 1, 2013, the Athlete admitted the Charge in writing and on March 19, 2013 waived his right to have the B sample tested.

History
The Athlete used the supplement Jack3d assuming it was creatine. The Athlete did not disclose the use of the Supplement on his Doping Control Form, he was injured and needed medical treatment for this he let his girl-friend fill in the form. He has never had any formal anti-doping education. He says that when completing the online registration for the BWA, he believes there may have been some reference to anti-doping, but says he was never sent any information or educational material on anti-doping once registered with the BWA. He was wholly inexperienced when it came to anti-doping matters generally. He did not know that supplements could cause a doping risk and indeed was naive when it came to their use generally.

Considerations panel
Jack3d is the likely cause of the contamination.
The panel believes that the use of the supplement was for use during training and not for enhancing sport performance in competition.

Decision
1. An Anti-Doping Rule Violation pursuant to ADR Article 2.1 has been committed;
2. A period of Ineligibility of fifteen months shall be the Consequences imposed pursuant to ADR Article 10.4;
3. That period of Ineligibility is deemed to have commenced on 3 February 2013 and will expire on 2 May 2014;
4. The Athlete’s status during this period of Ineligibility shall be as set out in ADR Article 10.10;
5. The Athlete’s results at the Event are Disqualified, along with all resulting consequences, including forfeiture of any medals, titles, points and prizes; and
6. Pursuant to ADR Article 10.10.4, during the period of Ineligibility the Athlete shall remain subject to the Anti-Doping Rules.
The disposition of these proceedings on the terms set out above will be publicly announced via UK Anti-Doping’s website.

Appeal
This decision may be appealed by the Athlete, the BWA, the International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles or the World Anti-Doping Agency.
