Ottawa, Ontario Ā ā The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) announced today that Jordan Arkko, a Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) football player from the University of Saskatchewan, received a two-year sanction for an anti-doping rule violation. The athleteās urine sample, collected during out-of-competition doping control on March 3, 2014, revealed the presence of GHRP-2, a non-specified peptide hormone.
In response to the CCESā notification of the adverse analytical finding, Mr. Arkko exercised his right to a hearing. Arbitrator James Hedley imposed a sanction of two years ineligibility from sport, terminating April 25, 2016. The athlete, who resides in Edmonton, Alberta, is ineligible to participate in any capacity with any sport signatory to the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP), including training with teammates.

The CCES is an independent, national, not-for profit organization with a responsibility to administer the CADP. Under the CADP rules, the CCES announces publicly every anti-doping rule violation. We recognize that true sport can make a great difference for individuals, communities and our country. We are committed to working collaboratively to activate a values-based and principle-driven sport system; protecting the integrity of sport from the negative forces of doping and other unethical threats; and advocating for sport that is fair, safe and open to everyone.
