Former Oldham reserve Terry Bridge has been hit with a four-year ban after being found guilty of doping.
The UK Anti-Doping agency have confirmed that Bridge has violated a number of doping laws but his suspension will not come into action until February 2016 due to a 10-month prison sentence.
Bridge was handed the jail term after being found in possession of steroids and will serve his sentence following a lengthy investigation.
Bridge is now the second athlete to be suspended following the four-year ban handed to British shot putter Carl Fletcher, who was found guilty of drug trafficking.
