A team-mate of Danny Jones turned to using cocaine during a state of severe depression following the sudden death of the Wales international, a UK Anti-Doping hearing has been told.

Former Keighley winger Gavin Duffy, 28, has been suspended for 15 months after testing positive for the presence of benzoylecgonine, a metabolite of cocaine, after playing in a reserve game for Keighley last July.
