Sheffield United's Baxter and Wolves' McCarey suspended over failed drug tests

Sheffield United's Jose Baxter and Wolves goalkeeper Aaron McCarey have both been suspended after failing drug tests.

Sheffield United forward Jose Baxter and Wolves goalkeeper Aaron McCarey have both been suspended after failing drug tests.

League One's United confirmed Saturday that Baxter had failed an out-of-competition screening, with the club now awaiting the outcome of further investigations into the matter.

And shortly after that news broke, Wolves also released a statement with regards to their reserve goalkeeper McCarey, which revealed he had also failed a Football Association (FA) doping control for a "non performance-enhancing substance".

Both players deny any deliberate wrongdoing.

The suspensions come just a day after Jake Livermore was removed from duty by Hull City and the FA having also failed a doping test, allegedly due to the presence of cocaine in his bloodstream.
