The national runner was "randomly tested and was found positive with Adverse Analytical Finding (AAF), with the presence of a prohibited substance Anabolic Steroids (19- Narandosterone) of Exogernous origin," according to a news release issued by the Brunei Darussalam National Olympic Council (BDNOC) on 29 April 2014. Following his participation in the men's 400-meter race at the 27th Southeast Asian Games in Myanmar in December, where he placed last in his heats with a time of 49.94s, Ak Hafiy was randomly tested by the Southeast Asian Federation (SEAGF) Medical Committee.
