After being convicted of trafficking anabolic steroids by UK Anti-Doping, shot-putter Carl Fletcher has received a suspension of four years.

Fletcher was sentenced to nine months in prison drug offences including the supply of a number of anabolic steroids, including testosterone, human growth hormone, and Trenbolone, all of which are banned under the code of World Anti-Doping Agency.

From Guardian.co.uk:

Fletcher, who was provisionally suspended from all competition on 8 November, is banned from participation in sport until 7 November 2015.

The UKAD chief executive, Andy Parkinson, said the case demonstrated the extent to which it was increasingly working with law enforcement agencies, in this case including Merseyside police and the Serious Organised Crime Agency.

“This case proves the invaluable role that law enforcement agencies have in the fight against doping in sport and demonstrates that our intelligence system is working effectively,” he said.

“I would like to thank Merseyside police and Soca for their vital assistance in helping our intelligence team with this case. By attacking the supply chain and those that supply performance-enhancing substances, we stand a better chance of protecting the right of the clean athletes to compete in doping-free sport,” Parkinson said.
