Sheffield United goalkeeper Paddy Kenny fails drugs test
By John Cross 6/07/2009
Sheffield United keeper Paddy Kenny faces a lengthy ban for failing a drugs test in a vital play-off match.
The Republic of Ireland star has been found guilty of taking a ‘banned’ substance in a medicine before the semi-final play-off with Preston at the end of last season.
Both A and B tests revealed Kenny failed and now he and the Blades are awaiting the verdict - and punishment. He could be banned for between six months and two years
United have suspended Kenny - who has just signed a lucrative new £1million-plus deal - while the issue is settled.
Insiders claim Kenny only used the medicine because he was feeling unwell. He bought it at a chemist’s rather than using the club’s medical team.
Sheffield United refused to comment last night.
