A personal trainer who presented a fake medical certificate to Geelong Magistrates’ Court in a bid to get his driver’s licence back has pleaded guilty to an offence that carries a maximum penalty of 25 years’ jail. Self-employed personal trainer Jason Douglas Nielsen, 38, pleaded guilty to one charge of attempting to pervert the course of justice in Geelong County Court before Judge Susan Cohen yesterday. Nielsen, who runs personal training and fitness classes around Geelong, presented a fake document to the Magistrates’ Court last year, purporting to be from a doctor at MedicAid. The falsified certificate indicated Nielsen had passed drug screening tests necessary to get his driver’s licence back. Prosecutor Andrew Moore told the court that on August 30 last year Nielsen went to the Magistrates’ Court to make an application to be allowed to reapply for a driver’s licence after losing it in 2016 for failing an oral fluid test. He was asked to give evidence under oath and provide a medical certificate proving he had passed a necessary drug test screening.

The Launceston surgeon, who advocates “real food” instead of processed and sweetened food, had been silenced for many years after an official complaint about his views in 2014. Dr Fettke said he would now campaign strongly about nutrition following a decision by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency to drop all charges against him.
