UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) v Darren Eales
A decision in the case of UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) v Darren Eales has been published by the National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP).
On 23 February 2019 Mr Darren Eales, a rugby union player in Scotland registered with Preston Lodge RFC, provided a urine Sample In-Competition at a fixture against Dumfries Saints RFC. The urine Sample returned an Adverse Analytical Finding for stanozolol-N-glucoronide, a metabolite of stanozolol.
Mr Brown was subsequently charged on 21 June 2019 with a breach of Article 21.2.1 of the World Rugby Regulations for the Presence of a Prohibited Substance or its Metabolites or Markers in his Sample. This represents the second occasion that Mr Eales has been charged with violating the Anti-Doping Regulations (ADR).
The NADP Tribunal, consisting of Mark Hovell, Lorraine Johnson and Professor Brian Lunn found that Mr Eales had committed an Anti-Doping Rule Violation contrary to Article 21.2.1 and therefore imposed a period of Ineligibility of eight years, running from 23 February 2019 until midnight on 22 February 2027.

The National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP) is the United Kingdom’s independent tribunal responsible for adjudicating anti-doping disputes in sport. It is operated by Sport Resolutions and is entirely independent of UK Anti-Doping who is responsible for investigating, charging and prosecuting cases before the NADP.
