Reynolds returned an adverse analytical finding from an in-competition test on February 4, 2021, which detected the presence of d-amfetamine/dextroamfetamine, methylphenidate and its metabolite ritalinic acid.

Both d-amfetamine/dextroamfetamine and methylphenidate are stimulants that are both prohibited for use in competition.

Reynolds was playing for the Cavalry against the Brisbane Bandits in Brisbane at the time, having joined the ABL club following two seasons with the Adelaide Giants.

He's now banned until March 10, 2025.
