Ex-Dewsbury Rams player Donald Kudangirana banned for doping

Former Dewsbury Rams player Donald Kudangirana has been banned from all sport for three years and seven months after testing positive for two banned substances, UK Anti-Doping has announced.

The out-of-competition test took place during a Rams training session in December 2016 and the Zimbabwean's sample was found to contain testosterone and drostanolone, a steroid.

In a statement, UKAD chief executive Nicole Sapstead said: "It is every athlete's individual responsibility to monitor and control what substances enter their body. We hope cases such as Mr Kudangirana's serve as a deterrent to all other athletes."

Kudangirana, who had previously spent time at the Hemel Stags on loan, admitted the charge and has already served a year of his ban while on a provisional suspension, meaning he will be eligible again in August 2020.
