Yesterday West Coast Eagles forward Willie Rioli was provisionally suspended after allegedly returning an adverse drug test.

The Hot Breakfast's Seb Costello and Tom Browne explore the story behind the shocking news of Rioli's ASADA investigation.

The Eagles star is set to miss finals after "interference" with a drug test. What happened? Seb & Tom have the details, only for Triple M's Hot Breakfast. 

Rioli allegedly returned a sample with an adverse finding for urine substitution after an out of competition test on August 20.

He has been withdrawn from tonight's semi-final vs Geelong, with the suspension coming into effect immediately.

Rioli was notified of the provisional ban last night, and can not play at AFL or WAFL level whilst the provisional ban is in place.

He is facing a potential ban of up to four years.
