Jamie Hughes (born 5 April 1977 in Liverpool) is a current semi-professional and former professional English footballer who is notable for becoming the first British footballer to fail a test for a performance-enhancing drug. While a YTS player with Division One Tranmere Rovers in May 1995, he failed a drugs test and was discovered to have taken amphetamines. His punishment for the offence was a six-month ban from football (suspended for two years).[1]
Hughes has since played at non-league level for clubs including Vauxhall Motors, Lancaster City[2] and Ashton United. He also played for Rhyl, Bangor City and Connah's Quay Nomads in the League of Wales and Derry City in the Irish league.[3]
