Any student found by the college to have violated chapter 69.41 RCW by virtue of a criminal conviction or otherwise insofar as it prohibits the possession, use, or sale of legend drugs, including anabolic steroids, will be disqualified from participation in any school-sponsored athletic event or activity.

Any student notified of a claimed violation of WAC 132I-400-010 shall have the right to a brief adjudicative hearing if a written request for such a hearing is received by the dean of students within twenty-one days of receipt of a declaration of further athletic ineligibility. If no written request is received within twenty-one days after receipt of the declaration of athletic ineligibility, the student will be deemed to have waived any right to a brief adjudicative hearing and will be declared ineligible from further participation in school-sponsored athletic events for the remainder of the school year.

If a timely written request for a hearing is made, the dean of students shall designate a hearing officer who shall be a college officer who is not involved with the athletic program to conduct the brief adjudicative hearing. The hearing officer shall promptly conduct the hearing and permit affected parties to explain both the college's view of the matter and the student's view of the matter. The brief adjudicative proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Act, RCW 34.05.482 through 34.05.494.

(1) The college official who acts as hearing officer shall issue a written decision which shall include a brief statement of the reasons for the decisions and a notice that judicial review may be available. All documents presented, considered, or prepared by the hearing officer shall be maintained as the official record of the brief administrative proceeding. A decision must be promptly rendered after the conclusion of the brief adjudicative hearing and in no event later than twenty days after the request for hearing is received by the dean of students.

(2) The student may appeal the hearing officer's decision to the president, in accordance with the procedures set forth in WAC 132I-120-450. The president's decision shall be final.
