IRB Anti-Doping Handbook

Download this resource as a PDF

Doping control plays an essential part in promoting and protecting doping free Rugby. The IRB operates a zero tolerance policy to doping in Rugby. As a player you are solely responsible for any prohibited substances found to be present in your body. It is not necessary that intent or fault on your part be shown in order for an anti-doping rule violation to be established. This is known as the ‘strict liability’ principle.
