UKAD 2020 RFU vs Arran Lee Perry
September 10, 2020
On 10 September 2020 the Rugby Football Union (RFU) decided to impose a 4 year period of ineligibility on the rugby player Arran Lee Perry after he tested positive for the prohibited substance Oxandrolone.
Hereafter in February 2023 the RFU reported that the Athlete had breached his period of ineligibiltiy. Its investigation had established that he had participated in a training session in November 2022.
Following notification the Athlete acknowledged that he only participated into this training with friends and family while it was not organised by his club.
In this matter the RFU considers the Athlete's conduct and his degree of fault. The RFU concludes that there are sufficient grounds for the imposition of a reduced addition sanction on the Athlete.
Therefore the RFU decides on 10 September 2020 to impose an additional 6 month period of ineligibility on the Athlete, starting on the date the current sanction shall end, i.e. on 20 December 2023.
