Newcastle Knights player Jarrod Mullen has been handed a four year suspension under the NRL's Anti-Doping Policy.
He was found guilty of taking the banned steroid Drostanolone. He returned a positive result for the steroid after a routine swab test during pre-season training last year.
Jarrod Mullen has 21 days to decide if he'll fight the ruling and take the NRL to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Knight CEO Matt Gidley said in a statement:
"It is important to acknowledge Jarrod made a significant contribution to the Club over a long period of time and that adds to the disappointment in how he now departs the Club."
