Ottawa – August 8, 2024 – The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) announced today that Munkhjin Batdorj, a judo athlete, received a two-year sanction for an anti-doping rule violation. The athlete’s urine sample, collected in competition on May 21, 2023, revealed the presence of trenbolone metabolite, a prohibited anabolic agent.
After assessing all the information provided by the athlete, the CCES agreed to a two-year period of ineligibility based on the determination that the athlete’s anti-doping rule violation was not intentional. The athlete signed an Agreement on Consequences, thereby waiving their right to a hearing and accepting the proposed sanction and all other applicable consequences. Because the athlete accepted a voluntary provisional suspension on June 26, 2023, the sanction ends on June 25, 2025.
During the sanction period, the athlete is ineligible to participate in any capacity with any sport signatory to the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP) or the World Anti-Doping Code, including training with teammates.
In compliance with rule 8.4 of the CADP, the CCES’s file outcome summary can be found in the Canadian Sport Sanction Registry.
