The NSW Waratahs are standing by Henry O'Donnell after the talented centre accepted an 18-month ban for an anti-doping violation.

The former junior Wallaby's ineligibility started on July 1 last year in connection with an Anti-Doping Rule Violation issued under the Australian National Anti-Doping Policy. The sanction as determined by Sports Integrity Australia relates to O'Donnell testing positive for D-amphetamine and ritalinic acid - two substances associated with ADHD medication - during an in-competition doping control test conducted on May 9 last year without a therapeutic use exemption.
