FBC Sports understands three premier players are from the same team in the southern division.

Yusuf says they’ll have to check their records to confirm whether these players are first or repeat offenders.

“We did the testing including the senior division and we had four cases including the senior division in the north. We will now go back and check our records and they will be charged”

He adds once everything is confirmed then the players and their results districts will be notified.

If a player is found to be a repeat offender then he will be suspended for three years while first offenders will serve three months suspension.
