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.

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

Stop bringing rational arguments to my witch hunt!
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.
Where's your sense of community?

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.

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!
