August 2, 2021
In May 2019 the United Kingdom Anti-Doping (UKAD) has reported an anti-doping rule violation against the Athlete Mark Dry for tampering through providing a false account to UKAD as to why he was not at the address at the time after a missed test in October 2018.
After notification a provisional suspension was ordered. The Athlete filed a statement in his defence and he was heard for the National Anti-Doping Panel.
The Athlete admitted he initially gave a false statement but asserted that the lie had no effect on the operation of the Rules since he was in the Domestic Testing Pool and not in the Registered Testing Pool. The Domestic Testing Pool operated separately, and outside the IAAF Doping Control Arrangements.
The National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP) accepts the Athlete’s assertion that a filing failure under the Domestic Testing Pool involved no sanction and that there was no Anti-Doping Rule violation.
Therefore on 8 October 2019 the National Anti-Doping Panel decided to dismiss the charge against the Athlete.
