The ERC has confirmed that Munster hooker Frankie Sheahan has lodged an
appeal against the decision of the independent Judicial Tribunal on July 2003.
The Tribunal found Sheahan guilty of a doping violation and subsequently banned
him from taking part in any rugby until May 2005.
The appeal has been set for Monday September 1, 2003 in Dublin, with the appeal
committee consisting of Jeff Blackett (Chairman, England), Jeff Probyn (England)
and Dr Roger Evans (Wales).
Sheahan tested positive for the drug Salbutamol after Munster’s Heineken Cup
semi-final against Toulouse on April 26. Sheahan claimed he had forgotten to
tick the appropriate box to inform officials that he was using the drug to treat
his asthma.
