Abstract
Adams’ case concerns a doping violation by a blameless wheelchair athlete leading to the usual two year ban. The CAS wished to overturn the ban and had to strain the meaning of Article 10.5.1 of the WADA Code to prevent the unfair penalty. An amendment to the Code to allow a more flexible principle of proportionality in doping offences that involve exceptional circumstances might be an answer.
