He missed a test which wouldn't have been a problem but he told the testers he'd gone fishing when in reality he went to his parents house. That lie resulted in the ban.

If the facts are as presented, this is ludicrous. Cant see how any fear minded body would think this was justice and an appropriate sanction. Again based on the report, the sentence in no way reflects the 'crime'.

Only if you believe the liar. A "subversion of the doping control process" is a serious violation, and again, missing one test on purpose (test evasion a la not opening the door for example, or running away in the airport) is enough for a sanction, which is often forgotten here.
The three strike rule is only for inadvertently missed tests.
They're desperate to show their teeth to overcompensate for UK Anti-Doping's abysmal and absurd (read zero) bust rate.

So countless Kenyan busts are concrete proof of rampant British doping, and now a harsh ban on a British athlete is also concrete proof of British doping?
Brilliant as ever from the bad mama.

None busted today indeed. But there are GBR names currently on the banned list.

Pity he didn’t just attribute it to a broken doorbell. All would have been roses.

The point is, if the facts are as presented, then missing the test was inadvertent. The punishment of 4 year ban is therefore for the lie. I'll let others be the moral judge on that, but given athletes who have acknowledged doping but helped with the subsequent 'investigation' get less, I'll state again strikes me as excessive and entirely the wrong type of case to try and demonstrate toughness on doping.
In my experience, people lie for a reason, here for example to pretend that missing the test was inadvertent. But yes, the ban is for subversion of the anti-doping process, not for missing the test. It is also not just a lie, he also lied about the lie:
He says he had forgotten to let the authorities know exactly where he would be, but then "panicked" and told Ukad "a white lie" - that he had been out fishing - when in fact he had been at his parents in Scotland.
Because he actually had his partner confirm the lie, in writing, so it wasn't exactly a quick panick lie in distress:
Dry and his partner both wrote to Ukad saying he had been fishing, despite a neighbour having told inspectors he had travelled to Scotland.
In any case, I do appreciate that UKAD bans people who subvert the anti-doping process by lying to them. Too bad that doesn't happen every time.
I only follow ONE hammer thrower on social media and it's this guy. I've been following him for years. That being said, I have no idea what's going on.
The guy was injured at the time and, according to him, he was lax on the day in question in notifying of his whereabouts. He said he was fishing but he'd actually travelled north to Scotland to be with his parents. The sheer distance he was away from home seems to have freaked him out and he's lied. He's being punished for simply lying and, as has been said, because UKAD needs a fall guy at the moment.
What an idiot. This brit idiot should just have said that he couldn't hear the ring just like the lying doping cheater doorbell mo did. little lord coe and the state sponsored brit doping program would have definitely covered up for this idiot brit.
At least troll literately.

Is "literately" a word? Or did you go to the Rojo School of Spelling?
The appeal panel said that their obligatory ban was excessive.
There has to be proportionality within any justice system.
UKAD ruled over Paul Edwards when there were extensive breaches, most of them highly material, of Doping Rules by the authorities.
Doping controls now exist more for the Anti Doping Industry than Sport.
WeightLifting had committed 93% of it income to Anti Doping.Yes 93 percent!
Dry was cleared and then vindictive UKAD banned him.
He has no right to appeal.
Appalling mis justice .
Literately is a word, nob guzzler.
Drug testing and whereabouts is a breach of human rights laws as they target athletes .
predictably, the whole tread is despicable anglo winging. poor lying victims
yeah, poor lying victim. poor fall guy. it's just lying. it;s only being way out of reach on purpose. whaa. this is a witch hunt. whaaaa
