Michael Jennings Statement

Posted by Rabz S on October 10, 2020 at 9:08am

The Parramatta Eels have today been made aware of the provisional suspension handed down to Michael Jennings under the NRL’s Anti-Doping Policy.

Details of that provisional suspension and alleged breach of the anti-doping policy will be outlined in an NRL Media statement to be distributed today.

Michael Jennings has been stood down from today’s game and ongoing training/playing responsibilities while the process runs its course, which under the policy includes the opportunity to have his B-sample analysed.

The Club has been in contact with Michael and will continue to offer him and his family our full wellbeing support.

Anyone know more to this?

Hopefully it is a false positive.

  His A sample has tested positive, awaiting the outcome of his B sample

I would imagine BA can go beyond the reserves to pick a centre and who the hell do we put there.

optimism mostly extinguished for tonight 😢

  BA dropped Haze Dunster off the 19 man list last night. Technically we have to pick from either Kaufusi or Alvaro who are the reserves? We are screwed!!

    Can't they make exceptions in these circumstances? Obviously this wasn't expected.

    I think you'll find the NRL will allow an exception in this case.

      yeah spot on Brett - a like for like usually gets an exemption. Dunster will be back in.
