French newspaper L'Equipe reported Friday that the prohibited substances were found in samples given by Carter, Rokocoko and another player after the final of the French club competition on June 25. All players in the game, which Racing won over Toulon, were tested by the French anti-doping agency (AFLD), the sports daily said. According to L'Equipe, Carter, Rokocoko and Argentine winger Juan Imhoff did not have exemptions to use the substances. Their club, however, said in a statement that the medical treatment received by the three players did not require authorization from sports authorities. Carter and Rokocoko scored 20 points between them last June as Racing beat Toulon 29-21 for its first title since 1990.
