Yoann Huget has been handed an additional suspension by the French Anti-Doping Agency.

Bayonne ace had already served a three-month ban

France winger Yoann Huget has been handed an additional suspension by the French Anti-Doping Agency after missing three doping controls last season. The 24-year-old will now miss four weeks of action - with Huget having already served a three-month suspension handed out by the French Rugby Federation. Huget, who plays for Bayonne, was found to have breached the rules that require players to make their movements known to officials so that drugs tests can be carried out. The AFLD took into account Huget's acceptance he was at fault as well as the FFR's ban - which saw him miss out on the World Cup - when handing out a more lenient sentence. Huget had only just returned to action for Bayonne, appearing in three games as the club look to pull away from danger at the bottom of the table.
