Tara Moore, a British tennis player, was handed a four-year ban by the Court of Arbitration for Sport after an appeal by the International Tennis Integrity Agency. Moore was initially cleared of an anti-doping rule violation linked to nandrolone and boldenone found in her blood sample. An independent tribunal initially ruled that contaminated meat was the source of the substance, leading to her 19-month suspension. However, the CAS panel found she failed to prove her ingestion was unintentional, prompting the decision to uphold the ITIA's appeal and impose the ban.
"After reviewing the scientific and legal evidence, the majority of the Cas panel considered that the player did not succeed in proving that the concentration of nandrolone in her sample was consistent with the ingestion of contaminated meat."
"Moore lost 19 months in the process before she was cleared of the rule violation, but Cas upheld the ITIA's appeal against the first-instance no fault or negligence ruling with respect to nandrolone."
