Only got the results of the A sample just after round 21.
Because it was positive for a 'specified substance' (a substance of which there is a greater chance of it not being used for performance enhancing purposes) he was allowed to continue playing while waiting for the B sample.
They got the results of the B sample a few days after Port knocked them out of finals.
Personally I don't like him because he seems especially antagonistic. I do respect him fairly highly as a player though.
It comes down to if it was prescribed to him as part of treatment or not and if he declared he was receiving the treatment when he gave his sample. Lynch was getting steroids and was allowed to play because it was part of his treatment.
The painkiller Crowley took required a prescription so unless it is dodgy he might avoid a serious penalty and he has been on the clock for more than 6 months so unless it is a severe penalty he might be able to play this season. If they throw the book at him I guess he will likely retire.
