England Rugby Player fails drug test !!

Its prop forward Matt Stevens ! He has openly admitted to using social drugs, not performance enhancing, and has been receiving counselling for his addiction !! In the professional era that it is now i reckon he's fucked.

It didn't do Rio Ferdinand much harm.

Shouldn't be banned by any sporting body for taking social drugs IMO. It should be an internal issue within clubs as its likely to have a detrimental effect on your game so they should be the ones to punish.

He's on SSN now

He was on celebrity x-factor a couple of years ago there.

There should be a short term ban for any drug taking but I would hope that the RFU and Bath get behind Stevens and help him through this!

This is good for Leinster though as Toulouse could kill Bath up front on Sunday without Stevens!

A lifetime ban should sort it out nicely !
