Titan u20 Player Returns Positive Test

[Foordy]

The NRL has imposed an immediate provisional suspension on Gold Coast under 20s player Travis Drought after he returned a positive drug test result to Nandrolone.

Nandrolone is a steroid-based drug derived from testosterone, which is prohibited both in and out of competition by the World Anti-Doping Authority (WADA) code.

Drought, who returned a positive 'A' sample, has the option under the WADA code to have a 'B' sample taken.

Should the 'B' sample test not confirm the result, the matter would not be pursued.

But if Drought's positive test is confirmed, he faces a two-year penalty, as accepted by Cronulla backrower Reni Maitua earlier this season when he tested positive to Clenbuterol.

Drought is the second under-20s player to return a positive test this year, after Manly's Shane Gray also tested positive to Clenbuterol.

I read about this earlier today. It's disappointing to read stories like this.

I don't know anything about the player - but it's sad to see a potential future superstar go off the rails like this so early in his career.

2nd u20's player caught this year.... it's a real shame

Nandralone stays in the system for up to 18months, so this guy either a) didn't really do his homework and/or b) thought he'd get lucky.

Obviously wants to try and get ahead of the pack, but it's a shame that he would turn to something illegal.
