A national badminton athlete has been suspended for three years from any involvement in sport activities after being found positive for a prohibited substance, the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports said in a statement on Tuesday.
The result of an out-of-competition testing by the Brunei Darussalam Anti-Doping Committee (BDADC) before the 2023 Southeast Asian Games in Cambodia has come out positive or also referred to as Adverse Analytical Finding (AAF). Confirmation of the test results has been received from the anti-doping laboratory in Doha, Qatar for the analysis of the badminton athlete’s sample which reported the discovery of anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS), a prohibited substance under Class S1.1.
Drostanolone is listed under the list of substances prohibited from being used inside and outside of competition by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
