Munster prop James Cronin has been suspended for one month after taking a banned substance due to a pharmacy “dispensing error”.

Cronin tested positive for two steroids, prednisolone and prednisone, after playing the final half-hour of Munster’s 21-all draw with Racing 92 in Thomond Park last November. He did not have a Therapeutic Use Exemption for either product.
