Sheffield United has suspended goalkeeper Paddy Kenny after the player was notified he had failed a drugs test.

The Club has taken the action - part of our standard procedures - after last month's outcome of the tests, carried out by UK Sport, the agency responsible for drug testing programmes in sport.

A Sheffield United spokesman said: "We can confirm that Paddy Kenny has been suspended by the Club. This is an ongoing, confidential matter and as such we are unable to comment further."
