I recently manually went through the UKADA sanctions to analyse those stats a bit more. Can't fully remember the details, but union was worse than league. Let's just get that out there.

That said, rugby (league) doesn't take doping very seriously at all. Certainly not on the level that athletics or cycling does.

At one point, of the first team squad of say 20 at the amateur (Level 7) rugby team I played for, 7 were openly/obviously taking steroids. This was as much/more to be 'massive' and desirable to women as improve performance. Tbh a fair % the blokes on any given high street are juiced up
