UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) has today confirmed that a rugby league player from Gloucester, Daniel Spencer-Tonks, has been suspended from all sport for four years following an Anti-Doping Rule Violation.

Spencer-Tonks (20), who plays for Gloucestershire All Golds in Kingstone Press League One, tested positive for metabolites of the exogenous anabolic androgenic steroid, stanozolol, following an out-of-competition test on 17 February 2015.

Spencer-Tonks is banned from all competition from 17 February 2015 to 16 February 2019.

The full written decision can be found on the UKAD website under current rule violations.

UKAD’s Director of Operations Pat Myhill said:

Daniel Spencer-Tonks is the second person in the UK to receive a mandatory four year ban under the 2015 WADA Code. Daniel is a young man and his decision to take steroids has greatly impacted on his sporting career."
