Former Hibernian and East Fife player Jamie Insall has been banned from all sport for two years after failing a drugs test, UK Anti-Doping has confirmed.
The 25-year-old was on loan from Hibs to East Fife last season when he was found to be in breach of anti-doping rules. An in-competition test in March came back with a positive result for benzoylecgonine, which is a metabolite of cocaine.
The striker joined Hibernian in September last year but did not play in any competitive games for the club and was loaned out to East Fife where he made 50 appearances.
UK anti-Doping (UKAD) Chief Executive Nicole Sapstead said: "Regardless of how it got there, every athlete is solely responsible for what is in their system and must adhere to the strict liability principle.
"They must ensure that they take the appropriate steps to manage the risks at all times."
Insall is banned from all sport from 31 March 2017 (the date of the test) until midnight on 30 March 2019.
