Oliver Bilton and Ross Bevan have been banned from their respective sports for 2 years.
Ross Bevan was found to have taken steroids Drostanolone which is an anabolic agent. His reasons for doing so were due to him being out of rugby for a year during which time he took up bodybuilding, a sport where use of steroids is not banned. He explained that he read on the website where he purchased the steroids that it was supposed to be out of his system between 3-4 months after which time he went back to rugby. Ross openly admitted that he was taking steroids and has been banned from the sport for 2 years.
Oliver Bilton was tested positive for the banned substance Oxandrolone which is an anabolic steroid which is known to be appealing as it does not have the effect of male breasts or water retention which are seen in other forms of steroids. It has been speculated that Mr Bilton ingested the prohibited substance after taking his housemate’s supplements that he used without checking the label.
