Aprot, the former world championships has been battling with Sports Dispute Tribunal (SDT) but her ban was upheld.
ADAK had filed an application at the SDT on August 12, 2022, bringing charges against Aprot whom they had busted for the presence of the prohibited Letrozole Metabolite Methanol in her urine.
ADAK wanted the athlete suspended for four years as provided by the ADAK Anti-Doping Rules, Article 10.2.2 and her achievements in that period disqualified
“The Applicant contended that the Tribunal has jurisdiction to entertain the matter under Sections 55, 58 and 59 of the Sports Act and sections 31 and 32 of the Anti-Doping Act,” said the ruling delivered on Monday.
Aprot filed her defence on October 5, last year, denying the charges saying it wasn’t intentional.
Aprot stated that on May 28, last year at training camp, she experienced sharp breast pains and immediately rushed to the nearest pharmacy to get treated.
