I played rugby at a moderate level before university (national league 2 south) a high level whilst at university (academy level at a premiership club) and low level after I recovered from torn acl / mcl (london 1).
I didn't see any steroid use until london 1 when a load of players were on it. Obviously at that level they stood out a lot as noticeably bigger and stronger than the others. If others were at it when I was at the other clubs they hid it much better. Doesn't mean they weren't, of course.

Last time I played rugby union seriously was 2006-7 and that was in France where 100% nobody was taking PEDs.
The previous few seasons I played around the north west and there were maybe 2 guys at my club who were on something, and they were the only people as far as I knew that went to a gym of any sort.
Definitely don't recall anyone mentioning weights ever.

I looked at that very website before making my claim. Two pages of union sanctions vs. 7 league players. Similar to football (6) and boxing (7), for example.
