Kevin Moats Banned for Doping (Written by: Dan Empfield Date: Fri Oct 19 2012)
Top age-group athlete Kevin Moats, 58 years old, has been suspended from competition by World Triathlon Corporation for 1 year as a result of a positive test for exogenous testosterone. The original ban was for 2 years, but the ban was halved by an arbitration panel.
The adverse finding was as a result of a test executed on Moats, out of competition, on January 30, 2012. The sample failed the threshold for testosterone/epitestosterone ratio. Moats admitted, at his arbitration hearing, taking supplemental testosterone. He contends, and has produced documentation, demonstrating that he has been under a doctor’s supervision since 2005 for hypothyroidism and andropause. However, Moats did not seek a therapeutic use exemption (TUE) prior to the test or at any time prior to the arbitration hearing.
