Cronulla Shark Xerri returns positive drug test.

Cronulla superstar Bronson Xerri is facing a possible multi-year ban from the NRL after testing positive to a number of banned substances last November.

Xerri was today provisionally suspended under the NRL’s Anti-Doping Policy.

The Provisional Suspension Notice asserts that Mr Xerri returned a positive A-sample for exogenous Testosterone, Androsterone, Etiocholanolone and 5b-androstane-3a,17b-diol which are prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the NRL’s Anti-Doping Policy. He was tested by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) on 25 November 2019.

Xerri is prohibited from participating in any WADA compliant sport, including rugby league, while the provisional suspension is in place.

Under the Anti-Doping Policy, Mr Xerri now has the opportunity to have his B-sample analysed.

The NRL has spoken with Mr Xerri and advised him of the support services available to him.

The NRL will not be making further comment while this process is under way.
