John Campbell banned for four years for anti-doping rule violation - chairman - 10-10-2022
West Indies batter John Campbell has been handed a four-year ban for violation of an anti-doping rule, according to a Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) decision seen by Reuters.
Friday's 18-page decision by a three-member independent panel followed a charge of evading, refusing or failing to submit to sample collection.
JADCO accused Campbell of refusing to provide a blood sample at his home in Kingston in April.
"The panel is persuaded to a comfortable degree of satisfaction that the athlete committed an anti-doping rule violation, namely breach of JADCO rule 2.3," the decision read in part. "The panel does not find, on the evidence presented, that the athlete's anti-doping violation was not intentional.
"In the circumstances of this case, the athlete is ineligible for a period of four years," it added, citing the applicable JADCO rule 10.3.1, with the ban backdated to start from notification of the violation on May 10 this year.
