Drug Free Sport New Zealand v Hinewai Pouwhare-Anderson

Overview:

Anti-doping – Powerlifter based in Palmerston North tested positive for clenbuterol in an in-competition test – provisionally suspended without opposition – admitted violation of the Sports Anti-Doping Rules 2019 (SADR) and expressed reluctance to be involved in the proceedings – Tribunal considered that an appropriate sanction was four years of ineligibility, which it noted was an extraordinary sanction – backdated to date of the test to account for the athlete’s timely admission of the violation – this meant the athlete is ineligible to participate in competitive sport until 13 April 2023
