Former Newcastle forward Danny Wicks' dramatic fall continues with the NRL banning him for four years following his admission of drug trafficking.
Wicks, who is still awaiting sentence from a court after pleading guilty to three counts of supplying drugs, will not be able to play rugby league again until September 2014.
The NRL suspension adheres to the World Anti-Doping Authority's four-year minimum ban for trafficking.
The NRL anti-doping rules provide for a player to accept a penalty without a hearing where the facts are not in dispute.
Last November Wicks pleaded guilty in court to two counts of supplying methyl amphetamine and one count of supplying 150 ecstasy tablets.
