In February 2009 the Royal Dutch Billiards Associasion (KNBB) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Person after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Metoprolol. After notification the Person filed a statement in his defence and he was heard for the KNBB Disciplinary Committee.

The Person accepted the test result and explained with evidence that he used prescribed medication for his High Blood Pressure. He mentioned this on the Doping Control Form and had already applied in 2007 for a TUE. This application was still under review waiting for additional information from his medical specialist. Meanwhile the specialist had retired in 2007, no additonal information was submitted and so no valid TUE was granted.

Therefore the KNBB Disciplinary Committed decides on 14 May 2009 to impose only a reprimand on the Person.

Fees and expenses for this committee shall be borne by the Person.

Facts
The Royal Dutch Billiards Federation (Koninklijke Nederlandse Biljartbond, KNBB) reported a violation of the Anti-Doping Code. During a competition match the defendant was tested, his A-sample was found positive for the prohibited substance metoprolol.
The oral hearing took place on February 25, 2008, the defendant was present, and he presented his medical record.

History
He did ask for dispensation due to his history of a heart disease, at first this form was sent to the wrong address but later he sent the form correctly.
The defendant did enter the names of the medicine on the form handed out during the doping test.

The defendant wasn't aware that his medication could have a prohibited substance; the KNBB never provided sufficient information about this. The KNBB claims information is also available on their website.
