Four-year drug ban for rugby player
Date published: 19 October 2012
Terry Bridge
Former Roughyed Terry Bridge has been suspended for four years after being found guilty of anti-doping offences.
The player will be barred from the sport until February 2016, following the ruling by UK Anti-Doping.
Bridge was jailed last November when Liverpool Crown Court heard he had been running a shop in Pemberton at which police found steroids with a black market value of £2,660. He was found guilty of an attempt to supply and possession of 19 banned substances.
He was also charged with trafficking clenbuterol, human growth hormone, oxymetholone, testosterone and trenbolone.
The Wigan resident played for Roughyeds reserves after his release from prison. He was sentenced alongside two disgraced St Helens police officers involved in the supply of steroids.
