  • Cape Breton University Soccer Player Banned From Play After Drug Violation
OTTAWA — An elite soccer player from Cape Breton has been banned from the game for 18 months after admitting to taking a prohibited substance last year.
 
The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport says Justin Maheu was sanctioned for an anti-doping rule violation after tests detected ephedrine in a urine sample collected during a competition on Oct. 25.
 
Maheu, a Canadian Interuniversity Sport soccer player from Cape Breton University, acknowledged the violation after the substance was discovered.
 
A hearing was held to determine the length of his sanction, which will end on April 24.
 
The centre says ephedrine is on the World Anti-Doping Agency Prohibited List.
 
Maheu cannot participate with any sport team that is a signatory to the Canadian Anti-Doping Program, including training with teammates.
