Players will escape with a fine for recreational drugs
England’s top rugby players will escape with a fine next year if they are caught taking recreational drugs, according to Rob Wildman in the Daily Mail.
"Details of the new out-of- competition annual tests for all Guinness Premiership players will be finalised next month but the rugby authorities have decided that the names of first offenders will remain secret.
"The tests are being introduced following the scandal at Bath last season which ended in the suspension of four players and the departure of Australian lock Justin Harrison. The Premiership tests will be carried out in addition to those conducted around internationals and other club competitions under the World Anti-Doping Agency."
