Overview:

Anti-doping – alleged whereabouts violation – G alleged to have committed whereabouts anti-doping violation due to 2 missed tests and one filing failure – any combination of 3 missed tests and/or filing failures within an 18 month period constitutes a violation under Sports Anti-Doping Rules – however Tribunal found requirements for one of the alleged missed tests not established on the facts of this particular case and did not need to consider the other two incidents – therefore Tribunal concluded anti-doping violation not established and application dismissed. Appeal to Court of Arbitration for Sport: This decision was subsequently appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport which reached a different view on the facts and overturned it.
