Decisions

Anti-doping - Powerlifter based in Palmerston North tested positive for clenbuterol in an in-competition test - provisionally suspended without opposition - admitted violation of the Sports Anti-Doping Rules 2019 (SADR) and expressed reluctance to be involved in the proceedings - Tribunal considered... that an appropriate sanction was four years of ineligibility, which it noted was an extraordinary sanction - backdated to date of the test to account for the athlete's timely admission of the violation - this meant the athlete is ineligible to participate in competitive sport until 13 April 2023
