Star Bronco James Segeyaro has tested positive to a banned substance, putting his career in doubt.
The NRL released the following statement on the matter:
Broncos hooker James Segeyaro has been provisionally suspended by the NRL under the league's anti-doping policy after testing positive to a banned substance.
The NRL said on Thursday night Segeyaro had returned a positive A-sample for di-hydroxy LGD-4033, a substance banned by the NRL and the World Anti-Doping Authority (WADA), after being tested by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority in early September.
Segeyaro is prohibited from participating in any WADA-compliant sport while the provisional suspension is in place. He now has the opportunity to have his B-sample analysed.
ASADA advised the NRL of the finding on Thursday afternoon, and the NRL has spoken to Segeyaro and advised him of support services.
