Hamilton midfielder Simon Mensing has claimed he is "completely innocent" after he finished his four-week suspension for failing a drugs test.

The 28-year-old tested positive for methylhexaneamine and returned from his five-match ban in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Dundee United.

"I should make it clear that I would never have taken any banned substance and made every effort to check in advance that the dietary supplement I did take was clean. I am glad it has been recognised by the anti-doping authority that I did not know that the supplement was contaminated," Mensing said.
