Canadian para-snowboarder Matt Hamilton has been given a four-year ban for doping.
The 38-year-old from Vernon, B.C., underwent an out-of-competition test Jan. 29, according to a statement Monday from the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport.
His urine sample revealed the presence of a hormone and metabolic modulator called GW501516, also known as endurobol, which was added to the World Anti-Doping Agency’s prohibited list in 2009. Hamilton did not dispute the doping violation within the timelines specified by Canada’s anti-doping program, the CCES said.
He ranked 23rd in the world in the men’s snowboard cross SB-LL2 classification, which is an impairment in one or both legs.More from Sportsnet
