Irish discus thrower and shot-putter Tomas Rauktys has been banned for two years after failing a dope test.

The Irish Sport Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel says he tested positive for the presence of a prohibited substance, Stanozolol, after his win in the National Championships in July.

The two year ban will include the past three months in which he was provisionally suspended.

The athlete competes with the Clonliffe Harriers club and is originally from Lithuania.
