Statement – James Segeyaro

The Rugby League Players’ Association (RLPA) can confirm that Brisbane Broncos player James Segeyaro has received notification from ASADA and the NRL that an A-sample given in an out of competition test on August 20, 2019, was found to contain a prohibited substance, di-hydroxy LGD-4033.

James has been informed that he is provisionally suspended pending the testing of his B sample.

The provisional suspension is not an admission of guilt or wrongdoing.   

ASADA processes are strictly confidential under the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority Act, and it is inappropriate to speculate on details of the case, or pre-empt the outcome.

The RLPA will continue to provide support to James throughout the process.
