The National Rugby League (NRL) has tonight provisionally suspended Brisbane Broncos player James Segeyaro under the NRL's Anti-Doping Policy.
The Provisional Suspension Notice asserts that Mr Segeyaro returned a positive A-sample for di-hydroxy LGD-4033 which is prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the NRL's Anti-Doping Policy. He was tested by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) on 3 September, 2019.
Mr Segeyaro is prohibited from participating in any WADA compliant sport, including rugby league, while the provisional suspension is in place.
Under the Anti-Doping Policy, Mr Segeyaro now has the opportunity to have his B-sample analysed.
ASADA advised the NRL of the finding late this afternoon.
The NRL has spoken with Mr Segeyaro and advised him of support services.
