Former Wales rugby star Rhys Webb has been caught speeding

The ex-international scrum-half was captured travelling at 59mph in a 50mph zone on the M4 motorway in Port Talbot.

He was driving a Land Rover Range Rover Sport SUV on March 5.

Webb, who won 40 caps for Wales and two for the British and Irish Lions, was fined £146 at Cardiff Magistrates’ Court.

The 35-year-old from Bridgend was also ordered to pay £85 costs and a £58 surcharge.

His driving licence was endorsed with three penalty points.

The former Ospreys and Toulon No 9 was banned for four years in July after testing positive for a prohibited substance, the French Anti-Doping Agency (AFLD) confirmed.

Webb who joined French club Biarritz last year, was provisionally suspended after testing positive for a growth hormone.

He has protested his innocence but the findings were confirmed following B sample analysis.

The backdated ban, which will expire in 2027 when Webb will be 38, could effectively end his playing career.

He is also unable to work as a coach or in an administrative position within sport during the period of the sanction.

A statement from the AFLD issued to French media confirmed Webb is prohibited from “participating, in any capacity whatsoever, in a competition authorised or organised by an organisation that is a signatory to the World Anti-Doping Code or one of its members”.
