5-methylhexan-2-amine (1,4-dimethylpentylamine) is listed under class S6. Stimulants according to the prohibited list of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). It is prohibited in-competition and is classified as a specified substance. This substance notably improves concentration and alertness, increases energy levels and endurance and accelerates the metabolism.
The athlete did not challenge the ADRV and agreed with the consequences proposed by the ITA. Accordingly, the case was resolved via an acceptance of consequences.
The athlete’s period of ineligibility is from 15 February 2024 until 14 February 2026. In addition, all the athlete’s competitive results as from 20 November 2023 are disqualified.
