Munster and Ireland hooker Frankie Sheahan has won his appeal to have his
two-year ban from world rugby for doping offences reduced to just three months,
which is already served.
Sheahan’s appeal was heard by a three-man ERC committee in Dublin today and Monday
and despite coming to a decision on the issue last night, their verdict was handed
down today. Frankie has also been fined €;5,000.
Sheahan’s father, Frank Snr, commented: “We were delighted with the way the
appeal went. We always felt the decision to ban Frankie was totally and absolutely
wrong.”
Having already served three months of a ban, Sheahan can be considered for
the upcoming RWC, which starts in just over five weeks.
