Rugby Has Worst Doping Record Of Any UK Sport

The UK Anti-Doping Agency has said there is a "very high" risk of cheating in rugby union - as a day of awareness calls on players to keep the sport clean. Of the 46 British athletes currently serving doping bans, 16 are rugby union players, UKDA figures show. This makes rugby union the country's dirtiest sport – and of the 25 sporting professionals banned in the past year, 11 were involved in rugby.
