Anti-doping officials turned up to Yorwerth’s house last September, but he did not answer the door after taking cocaine the weekend before.

Fearing he could be banned for two years, the former Wales Under-21 international chose to avoid the testers completely.

However, the FA have now handed him a four-year and have also warned Yorwerth about his future conduct, and he will be “subject to target resting for the duration of his suspension.”
