(Ottawa, Ontario – April 26, 2019) – The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) announced today that under the rules of the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP), it has asserted anti-doping rule violations against Stavros Katsantonis and Malcom Lee, two U SPORTS athletes affiliated with the University of British Columbia. The athletes’ urine samples, collected during out-of-competition doping control on March 22, 2019, both revealed the presence of SARM LGD-4033, a prohibited anabolic agent.
Under the rules of the CADP, both athletes have the right to pursue a hearing to contest the CCES’s assertion of these respective violations. Their cases remain open until the athletes either waive this right or pursue a hearing. At this point, neither Mr. Katsantonis nor Mr. Lee have an anti-doping rule violation.
Rule 14.3.1 of the CADP provides the CCES with the authority to disclose publicly the identity of an athlete against whom the CCES has asserted an anti-doping rule violation. The CCES has exercised this authority given Mr. Lee and Mr. Katsantonis are eligible for the Canadian Football League’s (CFL) draft on May 2, 2019.
