Scott MacLeod, the Scotland and Scarlets forward, has had the doping charge against him discontinued and his provisional suspension for a potential anti-doping violation lifted, after a thorough investigation by UK Sport and an independent review panel.
MacLeod was found to have an elevated testosterone level (or T/E - the ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone) in the A sample he provided during unannounced out-of-competition testing earlier this year.
Now the doping charge against him has been discontinued and he is free to resume training with his club and playing with immediate effect.
This decision follows a meticulous inquiry and is based on UK Sport's changed view of the case and that of their expert panel, after analysis of MacLeods B sample and their consideration of submissions by the player.
