Anti-Doping
The Rugby Football Union (RFU) condemns doping. It is harmful to the health of players, totally contrary to the spirit of rugby and the RFU is committed to protecting all players' fundamental right to participate in doping free rugby.
The RFU identifies integrity, fairness, equity and respect as essential to success in rugby and we aim to protect rugby from being undermined by doping.
The RFU works closely with UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) and the International Rugby Board (IRB) in the fight against doping, and conducts a comprehensive anti-doping programme covering education, testing and results management.
Here you will find detailed information on this and much more, including doping player case studies, the current prohibited substances list, and supplements advice, catering for both the elite performer and the grassroots rugby player.
There is also a section in the news area bringing you up-to-date anti-doping news.
