Shamrock Rovers goalkeeper Barry Ryan has been hit with a 15-month suspension after testing positive for a banned substance.
The 25-year-old, who joined Rovers from UCD in the spring, was handed the ban after traces of banned substance showed up in both his A and B samples following a random test conducted in September.
The matter was referred to the FAI’s Independent Doping Tribunal when the samples tested positive, and the three-man body deemed all evidence to be serious enough to impose the 15-month ban.
