Rovers keeper banned for 15 months
Shamrock Rovers' goalkeeper Barry Ryan, whose A and B doping samples tested positive last month, has been banned from playing football for over a year by an independent doping tribunal.
Following the sitting of an independent doping tribunal this evening, a suspension of 15 months has been handed down to Ryan, who tested positive for a recreational drug.
The 26-year-old Clare-born player tested positive for a banned substance under the Association's Doping Control Regulations and in line with the process set out in the regulations the matter was referred to the Independent Doping Tribunal.
The determination of the Tribunal was that a doping offence had been committed and a 15-month suspension was imposed. Any appeal must be lodged within seven days.
Shamrock Rovers and the player himself have yet to release a statement.
