Wallaby winger Sailor seeks lifeline as drugs scandal rages

WALLABIES winger Wendell Sailor has requested that the B sample of his drug test be analysed by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority, in the hope that the findings will clear his name.

The Australian Rugby Union (ARU) said the controversial NSW Waratahs winger had informed them of his decision, ahead of their deadline late on Monday.

“Wendell Sailor has informed the Australian Rugby Union that he has formally requested the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) to test his B sample,” the ARU said in a statement.
