Law firm Brandsmiths , who represented Ryan Bailey over his refusal to take a drug test charge , have issued a wind up petition for the UK arm of Trans-Atlantic side Toronto Wolfpack .
The wind up order relates to non payment of legal fees , which is rumoured to be a six figure sum . Bailey who was a Toronto player at the time , could have been banned for 4 years if found guilty of refusing to take a drug test , but his legal team successfully argued his case stating that the water given to him to take before the test could have been contaminated so he was justified in refusing to give a sample .
The wind up order will be held on January 7th , but a spokesperson for Toronto stated that payment issue is being resolved and stressed the petition only concerns the Wolfpack’s UK arm and not the Canadian operation .

Toronto Wolfpack prop Ryan Bailey has escaped a possible four-year ban for refusing to submit to a doping test.
The former Great Britain and England rugby league international won his case against U.K. Anti-Doping in a Dec. 8 ruling released Wednesday.
Bailey refused the test after fearing the water he was given to drink to facilitate providing a sample was contaminated.
“Having heard Mr. Bailey give evidence we do not for one moment think that he is a cheat or was trying to cover up drug taking,” said the ruling by an independent National Anti-Doping Panel tribunal. “Indeed, we note that a few days later Mr. Bailey did in fact undergo a drug test (which was negative) without any problem.”
While ruling for Bailey, the panel called it “a truly exceptional case on its own very special facts and psychological evidence” and stressed it should “not be taken as any sort of precedent for other cases.”
