In July 2024 the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) reported an anti-doping rule violation against the powerlifter Thande Hutt after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substances Amfetamine, Dehydrochlormethyltestosterone, GW1516 and GW501516.
Furthermore CCES reported a second violation against the Athlete for his refusal to submit to sample collection on 14 June 2023.
Following Notification the Athlete gave a prompt admission, waived his right for a hearing, accepted a provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by the CCES.
The CCES deems that there are aggravating circumstances present in this case and finds that both violations shall be considered as one single first anti-doping rule violation. Because the Athlete signed and submitted the Early Admission and Acceptance Form he received a 1 year reduction from CCES.
Therefore the CCES decides on 9 September 2024 to impose a 5 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 16 July 2024.
