Kenny faces suspension for banned drug.

The urine sample provided by Kenny after May's play-off semi-final against Preston North End was found to have traces of the drug, and now Kenny faces a ban.
'We can confirm that Paddy Kenny has been suspended by the club. This is an ongoing, confidential matter and as such we are unable to comment further,' a Sheffield United spokesman said:.
Kenny, a Republic of Ireland international, now faces an FA disciplinary inquiry and could face a suspension of up to two years.
Ephedrine is on the list of the World Anti-Doping Agency's banned substances.
But there is a light at the end of the tunnel, for ephedrine is found in some treatments for the common cold and the positive test doesn't mean a straight 2 year ban.
