USADA said in a statement that Gingras admitted possessing,
trafficking and administering testosterone, and possessing and
trafficking LGD-4033, a selective androgen receptor modulator,
to an athlete between October 2015 and May 2016.
Due to his full cooperation with USADA officials since the start
of its investigation and his voluntary admission of his
anti-doping rule violations, Gingras was eligible for a reduced
sanction.
The period of ineligibility for the 31-year-old coach from
Milwaukie, Oregon, began in mid-January, the date he admitted to
his doping violations.
In addition, Gingras has been disqualified from all competitive
results obtained on and subsequent to Oct. 16, 2015, the
approximate date he first assisted an athlete in preparing to
use a prohibited substance.
