ADDPI 2022_216 INADA vs Shashank J. Ray
October 13, 2022
On 13 October 2022 the Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel of India (ADDPI) decided to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the basketball player Shashank J. Ray after he tested positive for the prohibited substance 19-norandrosterone (Nandrolone).
Hereafter in November 2022 the Athlete appealed the ADDPI decision with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The Athlete asserted that his appeal is admissible and that CAS has jurisdiction because he is an International Level Athlete.
INADA denied that the Athlete is an International Level Athtlete and requested the Panel to dismiss this appeal. INADA contended that the Appealed Decision should have been addressed to the Anti-Doping Appeal Panel of India (ADAPI).
In view of the evidence the Sole Arbitrator agrees with INADA's submissions and concludes that the Athlete's appeal must be rejected.
Therefore the Court of Arbitration for Sport decides on 17 July 2023 that:
1.) The Court of Arbitration for Sport has no jurisdiction to decide upon the appeal brought by Mr. Shashank J Rai on 2 November 2022 against the decision of the Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel of the National Anti-Doping Agency of India dated 11 October 2022.
2.) (…).
3.) (…).
4.) All other motions or prayers for relief are dismissed.
