Sailor out in the cold after drugs ban

Australian Rugby Union (ARU) bosses have hit back at Wallabies winger Wendell Sailor’s claims that his two-year drugs ban was “grossly unfair“.

ARU operations chief Rob Clarke was furious after reading Sailor’s statement in Sydney’s Sunday Telegraph newspaper, in which the player said he was “gutted” by the length of his suspension and had been hoping for “some leniency” after testing positive for cocaine.
