I'd be very surprised if doping wasn't prevalent in top level rugby with the requirement for endurance, large muscle mass and constant recovery from injuries/wear and tear.
I think all you need for doping to present is for there to be competition and for it to be performance enhancing. Where there is more money at stake it will be more prevalent.
What am I saying - only cycling has a doping problem.

This is what I've heard/been told too. There was a telling interview with the Exeter player called up for England a couple of weeks ago, the first thing Eddie Jones asked him every time he saw him was 'how much do you weigh', as he was constantly pressuring him to bulk up.
