Anti-doping authority won't interview Sharks players

5:35 pm on 12 May 2013

Cronulla's general manager of football operations Steve Noyce has confirmed the Australian Sports Anti Doping Authority has terminated plans to interview Sharks players.

The authority has been probing the National Rugby League club since February but the first interview with back-rower Wade Graham almost two weeks ago ended abruptly when lawyers from both parties failed to agree on the line of questioning.

Noyce says the investigation is still ongoing.

Explosive details of a report outlining incidents during the 2011 NRL season involving the Sharks supplements program and sports scientist Stephen Dank were published by an Australian newspaper this weekend.
