RUGBY UNION: Former Bath lock Justin Harrison was yesterday banned for eight months after admitting drug-related charges.

The 35-year-old confessed to taking a prohibited substance at an end-of-season party and then failing to undergo a drug test. Harrison’s former team-mates Michael Lipman, Alex Crockett and Andrew Higgins will face similar charges at a separate Rugby Football Union hearing later this month.
