Jallow missed three doping tests in a 12-month period, which triggered an investigation. The usual penalty a player receives in such a case is a two-year ban. It can be reduced to a maximum of a one-year penalty.
News broke out on Monday that a German player is being investigated by the country's anti-doping agency (NADA). The exact player and his team are now clear.
As German news outlet BILD reports, ratiopharm Ulm's guard Karim Jallow might miss an extended period of time due to his issues with NADA.
Jallow missed three doping tests in a 12-month period which triggered an investigation. The usual penalty the player can face is a two-year ban. It can be reduced to a maximum of a one-year suspension, BILD notes.
Due to his experience playing for the German national team, Jallow belongs to a category of players that have to report their whereabouts at all times on the specialized Adams (Anti-Doping Administration and Management System) app so that anti-doping control officers can test the athlete unannounced at any time.
Players have to provide a 60-minute window between 6 AM and 11 AM each day, during which they can be contacted for a doping check-up. Vacations, practices, games, and training camps are also recorded on the app, BILD writes.
In this case, Jallow either failed to report the required details or missed the check-ups.
Jallow has played in 18 games for the German national team. This past season, he became the German League (BBL) champion with Ulm.
