OTTAWA - The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) announced that Dan Taudin-Chabot, a Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) football player has committed an anti-doping rule violation. The violation occurred during in-competition doping control at the CIS East vs. West Bowl on May 10, 2008 in Hamilton, Ontario.

The anti-doping rule violation is a result of the athlete's urine sample returning an adverse analytical finding for Tamoxifen, a prohibited substance on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List.

In response to the CCES' notification of the adverse analytical finding, Mr. Taudin-Chabot waived his right to a hearing and accepted the sanction proposed by the CCES, namely a sanction of two years sport ineligibility and permanent ineligibility for federal sport funding.

The CCES is an independent, national, non-profit organization. Our mission, to foster ethical sport for all Canadians, is carried out through research, promotion, education, detection and deterrence, as well as through programs and partnerships with other organizations.
