If PED's are the cause (or a contributing factor) to the tragic ending of Lomu's life, I believe that it is more likely to be hGH along with the numerous steroids that is endemic in both branches of rugby. Given the nature that enhanced performance in a sport such as rugby will be strength...

Fuentes has publically confirmed that of his 200+ clients, 20% were tennis players. That's 40+ that were blood doping with one doctor.

I wonder if the likes of David Walsh will turn their attention to tennis, rugby, football etc., once the LA debacle effectively comes to an end after Oprah next Thursday?

Easy. Christophe Bassons, aka Tour de France Champion. Snag is, some bastard ruined that.

The Hog, Do you know where I can get a copy of the original Le Monde article that appeared in December 2006? The link you have posted states the article is no longer available. Thanks

I can only provide evidence for doping in rugby for the UK. For those that don’t know drug testing in the UK is carried out by UKAD – anti doping in sport. Each positive is uploaded on their website under the violations link. Also included in the upload is the drug found in the sample...

At a cycling event this year, I spoke with an author who had written about doping in cycling. I was told that part of the book was about the corruption of the UCI and several positive tests that were subsequently covered up. Unfortunately, due to legal reasons (I was not told the exact...

Whilst the link below is not subject to just rugby players, by searching through the numerous pages you do get the impression that rugby (in the UK at least) is a protected sport considering the lack of media coverage versus the number of positives. http://www.ukad.org.uk/violations/

Dear Mr McQuaid, Thank you for your letter regarding a position at the ATP. With the wealth of experience you can provide for us, notably the protection of star riders – an expertise we can certainly utilise in protecting our own – we would welcome you on board with open arms. Thankfully...

Hein Verbruggen is probably Pinto's Deputy Mayor.

Correct. The biological passport programme is simply a continuation of the UCI’s 50% hematocrit farce. Providing that riders do not go beyond the threshold of either the upper limit of the haemoglobin variables of reticulocytes, or the concentration between haemoglobin and reticulocytes is...

5. Hein Verbruggen and Pat McQuid to face trial for bringing the sport into disrepute

Rupert, Rugby is one of the worst sports in terms of its PED use. Click on this link and look how many UK rugby players have tested positive. http://www.ukad.org.uk/violations/ There are over 114 pages of positives - all from the UK. The country of so called fair play!! :rolleyes:

Please could you help me with a question regarding Hematide. Apologies if this has been asked/posted before. Hematide, an erythropoietin stimulating agent, for the proposed treatment of anaemia associated with chronic renal failure (CRF) is currently non-approved for commercial use. I...
