Press Release

26th June 2018

The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) announced today that Lane Raposo, a U SPORTS football athlete affiliated with York University, received a four-year sanction for an anti-doping rule violation. The athlete’s urine sample, collected during out-of-competition doping control on September 28, 2017, revealed the presence of methenolone, boldenone (anabolic agents) and tamoxifen (hormone modulator).

In response to the CCES’s notification of the adverse analytical finding, Mr. Raposo admitted the anti-doping rule violation in a timely fashion (in accordance with Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP) Rule 10.11.2), and a hearing was held to determine the sanction length. Arbitrator Carol Roberts imposed a sanction of four years ineligibility from sport, terminating October 20, 2021. The athlete, who resides in Calgary, AB, is ineligible to participate in any capacity with any sport signatory to the CADP, including training with teammates.
