Scotland have withdrawn Adam Walker from their provisional squad for the World Cup in Australia later this year after he failed a drugs test.
The 26-year-old Wakefield prop tested positive for cocaine after the Betfred Super League win at Widnes on July 14 and was subsequently suspended by Trinity.
Scotland RL chairman Keith Hogg said: "We totally support the RFL anti-doping regulations and the action undertaken by Wakefield Trinity.
"We will be withdrawing Adam Walker from our extended World Cup squad."
Head coach Steve McCormack has added NRL pair James Bell and Campbell Graham to what is now a 37-man squad following Walker's removal.
Bell, of New Zealand Warriors, and South Sydney Rabbitohs' winger Graham both made their NRL debuts last week.
"We are always watching a number of Scottish qualified players at clubs in the UK, Australia and New Zealand," McCormack said.
"We've known about them since last year and have been really pleased to see the progress that James and Campbell have been making. It was great to see them make their NRL debuts within a few days of each other."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
