Kenny will have to wait to discover his fate after his test returned positive

Sheffield United have suspended Paddy Kenny for failing a drugs test, BBC Radio Sheffield reports.

Kenny tested positive for a banned substance, ephedrine, following last season's Championship play-off semi-final second leg against Preston.

Ephedrine is believed to be present in a cough mixture that the Republic of Ireland international is understood to have bought over the counter.

The 31-year-old goalkeeper could face a lengthy ban.

The club, the Football Association and UK Sport have so far refused to comment over the matter.
