Former Penrith Panther and English International Zak Hardaker has been suspended for 14 months after failing a drug test prior to the 2017 Super League grand final.
Hardaker was subsequently sacked by his club Castleford and missed selection for England at the World Cup.
“UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) today confirmed Zak Hardaker has been suspended from all sport for 14 months following an Anti-Doping Rule Violation,” the Rugby Football League said in a statement.
Hardaker tested positive for cocaine and metabolite.
