Ottawa – The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) announced today that Nathan Zettler, a former Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) football player from the University of Waterloo, received a four-year sanction for an anti-doping rule violation.
The violation was a result of Mr. Zettler’s criminal conviction on three counts of possession and possession for the purpose of trafficking in anabolic steroids. Mr. Zettler’s legal proceedings began in 2010 and finally concluded in 2013, at which time the CCES asserted the anti-doping rule violation.
In response to the CCES’ assertion, Mr. Zettler exercised his right to a hearing. On September 8, 2014, Arbitrator Barbara Cornish imposed a sanction of four years ineligibility from sport, terminating September 8, 2018. The athlete, who resides in Waterloo, Ontario, is ineligible to participate in any capacity with any sport signatory to the Canadian Anti-Doping Program (CADP), including training with teammates.
