Anti-Doping

The Welsh Rugby Union has rolled out an anti-doping program with the aim to support community rugby clubs and to educate players and support personnel about banned substances that are taken knowingly or not by rugby players while they are playing our sport.

Wayne Curtis and Ceri Wyatt have both been appointed Club Integrity Officers after they attended workshops conducted by Rob Thompson, the WRU Athlete Integrity Support Officer.
