    Reports From France That Dan Carter, Joe Rokocoko & Others Test Positive For Steroids

    this is from Triple M Sydney website

    Huge news from France where top sports publisher L'Equipe report that All Blacks legends Dan Carter and Joe Rokocoko have tested positive for steroid use while playing for their European club side Racing 92.


    The test was conducted by the AFLD (French agency for the fight against doping) at the Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona after their match with French side Toulon in European competition on June 25.

    Carter, the leading international points scorer of all time, Rokocoko, and fellow Racing player Juan Imhoff have allegedly failed a test for performance enhancing substances following returning a positive urine sample.

    L'Equipe are saying the first urine tests are showing abnormalities for substances that are prohibited during competition and players had not alerted them to any medical reasons for taking the steroids.

    Neither club or players have commented on the news, although it is now being reported by mainstream media across Europe.

    Neither club or players have commented on the news reported by L'Equipe, although it is now appearing in the media across Europe.


    The news is sure to send shock waves through the world rugby community, concerning as it does two all-time legends of the game.

    More as the story develops.

    I hope for their sake it is a false positive. It would really put a shadow on their whole career.

    Here we are supplying you with perfectly good pitchforks and flaming torches and all you can do is suggest we stop and think for a bit.

    Just the world cup?
    it's obvious they've been cheating for years! I think the last 7 Bledisloe Cups need to be handed over as well.

    Let's await publication of the medical injury reports, diagnosis reports, copies of doctors prescriptions, and Testing Authorities certificates granting approval for the use of steroids (all Notarized), before invoking the presumption of innocence.

    Until then, their's no need to delay their public execution.

    I think Larsen. E. Pettifogger may have hacked your account Fulvio.

    The French haven't been able to get Carter or Joe to cheat by taking dives so to bring them into line with other French players they filled them with drugs so they all equal! Allegedly!
