STEWART Crameri will sit out the first two rounds of the NAB Challenge while the AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal deliberates on any potential suspensions for the 34 past and present players involved in the Bombers' 2012 supplements regime.
The Western Bulldogs today confirmed the 26-year-old forward will miss pre-season matches against Richmond (February 27) and Melbourne (March 14).
The Club met with Crameri's lawyers last Thursday and has decided against seeking to have his provisional suspension from the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority lifted.
The Bulldogs' final pre-season match is against Collingwood on March 21, by which time the AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal is expected to have handed down its verdict to the players slapped with infraction notices.
The hearing finished on Tuesday following final oral submissions from the AFL and the players with the Tribunal now adjourned to consider its decision.
