Sam Murray has been given the all clear to train with Ovens and Murray league club Wangaratta Rovers as he awaits the verdict from the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority on his illicit drug case.

The Collingwood-listed player has trained this week alongside his younger brother Nick at Wangaratta Rovers in a move which has the blessing of ASADA, the AFL and the Magpies.

His former coach at Wodonga Raiders where the Sydney Swans initially drafted him as a rookie at the end of 2016, Daryn Cresswell, is also coaching Wangaratta Rovers this season.

The substance detected by ASADA was an illicit drug and when found on match-day is regarded as performance enhancing.
