In June 2024 the United Kingdom Anti-Doping reported an anti-doping rule violation against the rugby player Caine Rees-Jones after his sample tested positive for the prohibited substance Testosterone and its metabolites with a T/E ratio above the WADA threshold.
Following notification the Athlete gave a prompt admission, waived his right for a hearing, accepted a provisional suspension and the sanction proposed by UKAD. The Athlete acknowledged that he had used the substance for aesthetic purposes.
UKAD deems that the Athlete's violation was intentional and determines that he shall receive a 1 year reduction for his timely admission of the anti-doping rule violation.
Therefore UKAD decides on 8 August 2024 to impose a 3 year period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date of the provisional suspension, i.e. on 18 June 2024.
