ASADA added Gallen, younger brother of star Cronulla skipper Paul Gallen, to their banned list this morning after he last year tested positive to 3-dimethylpentylamine (methylhexaneamine) and 3-dimethylbutylamine, which can be found in over-the-counter dietary supplements. It is understood the 26-year-old has accepted the ban. Gallen was released by the Capras at the end of last year, with his ban dating back to June 5. He will not be cleared to play again until June 4, 2018, right before his 28th birthday. The QRL released a statement this morning to support ASADA's stance to remove banned substances from the Intrust Super Cup and other levels of the game. "While it is disappointing to learn of this breach, we are pleased to share that we invest more than any other state sporting organisation in Queensland on our testing and education," the statement said. "We will continue to work in with the NRL’s whole-of-game testing procedures and we make no apologies for having a rigorous program in place."
