A member of the suspended University of Waterloo football team has tested positive for human growth hormone.

The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport will hold a news conference in Toronto on Wednesday afternoon.

The school decided to suspend its’ football program for the season after urine tests revealed nine anti-doping violations.

A total of 82 sample collections were conducted or attempted March 31, with 61 being for urine and 20 for blood.

The CCES said in July one of the blood samples returned an adverse analytical finding and had come from one of the nine players who had also failed a urine test.
