Sports Integrity Australia will most likely ramp up their investigations in grand final week after Parramatta veteran Michael Jennings returned a positive sample to two performance-enhancing substances.
Jennings was stood down Saturday morning – the day of the team’s finals loss to South Sydney.
Meanwhile, a court has heard how young Dragons player Tristan Sailor allegedly sedated a female in a “predatory and planned” attack on October 3 at the woman’s home in Sydney’s south.
The woman was later found by a friend.
Sailor has been stood down by the NRL.
He will appear in court again on December 3.
