GB runner served silent ban for Cocaine (19 Jun - 19 Sep).

No winners in this case.

It took UKAD and the KCL 70 (seventy) days to process the urine sample and notify the player of the result.

Evans spent Β£500,000 on lawyers.

The backdated 2 year ban is utterly meaningless as the player played in several competitions over this period.
The National Anti-Doping Panel claimed that Evans proved his +ve test for Ostarine was the result of contamination.

CAS found no evidence.

Irrespective of whether Evans intended to dope or not, the NADP's acceptance of contamination without evidence is a terrible decision.
