    Seemingly an irish proffessional rugby player, not invloved with the national side has tested positive for cocaine. Anybody know anymore?

    I remember reading a report a few yrs ago about Irish players using performance enhancing drugs to a point where they were doing severe damage to their bodies, remeber the quote "blood was like sludge". But this was back when Irish rugby was at its low and just turned Proand we were struggling.
    I honestly belive players arent using them,they have too much to lose with rugby coming on so much.I imagine if its a provincial player his career would be over (if its a foreign playing player i dont know)

    I don't even think he was involved at provincial level, he's probably with some AIL club

    It was an AIL player I think (they said he wasn't involved at a provincial or national level, and I doubt they would test anyone under AIL level).

    Fraknie Sheahan got done for a drug which I think is called clembuturol. His levels were way over what you would expect a normal inhaler user to have. The drug is frequently (ab)used by athletes who are not asthmatic as it increases the capacity of the lungs.

    Wonder if they test the refs for drugs. There's a couple of them gotta be on something.
