It was interesting reading the article that 22 years ago another Munster rugby player, Tom Tierney, also failed a drug test. Had never heard of this before.
“He tested positive for a banned substance when on duty in France with the Ireland u21s. The enduring memory was the speed with which the shutters came down from all connected to the Munster team.”
“Tierney’s excuse - taking an over-the-counter cold remedy that contained ephedrine - was accepted, and he received no more than a reprimand.”
It’s only those pesky foreigners who are drugs cheats, not the salt of the earth Munster men.
The chances of two James Cronins being a customer of the same pharmacy.

The chances of two James Cronins not only being a customer in the same pharmacy, but actually needing prescriptions on the same day and the chemist mixing them up and James Cronin not noticing (that he got two bottles instead of one) and the other James Cronins prescription happened to be for performance enhancing drugs. Two types
To cap it all off he was unlucky enough to be drug tested after this unlikely sequence of events.
That’s some bad luck for the chap. I hope it doesn’t hang over him
It’s just a pity the other James Cronin wasn’t getting arse cream or something. Why did it have to be performance enhancing steroids. It’s a cruel world
He wasnt starting for the racing game so dunno why hed want a steroid for 15 min of rugby . He answered his case . I hope the other james cronin comes out and clears this up as it is the right thing to do . Not nice to leave a lad open to accusations like @Julio_Geordio had throwing up .
Here’s a helpful little calculation. James Cronin was extremely unlucky, apparently. A 50 billion to one chance of him finding himself in his unfortunate position.
