Cronulla Sharks centre Bronson Xerri has officially been given a four-year suspension by the NRL Anti-Doping Tribunal. Xerri will be unable to play in the NRL until at least his suspension expires on November 25, 2023, after he tested positive for the presence of exogenous Testosterone, and its metabolites Androsterone, Etiocholanolone and 5b-androstane-3a, 17b-diol. The 20-year-old hasn't played in the NRL since the 2019 season following his positive test. "The Tribunal found that Mr Xerri intentionally took testosterone in late 2019 knowing that the substance was either banned or that there was a serious risk that it was banned," the NRL said in a statement. Xerri during the 2019 NRL season famously emerged as one of the game's best up and coming outside backs after notching 13 tries from 22 appearances for the Sharks that year.
