That would be an ecumenical matter.
Mate, youâve been gone too long and are way out of touch with (one of your) homeland. Itâs all anybody could talk about here on Monday morning.

That info on steroid use re retaining 2/3 of the benefit of it is interesting. In a sport like rugby the benefits are insane. There is no way there is not/has not been widespread use in the face of that.
Of course there has⌠A number of younger lads go away for a few months over the summer and come back massive⌠HGH is another one that is constantly abused by pro-players as it canât really be traced.
Please donât go down this route, your pencil is small enough.
This is hilarious. Kimmage is a boring cunt who wonât back down and will keep digging and digging. Rugby football wonât be used to his type telling it like it is. Surprised his piece yesterday was published by The Sunday Independent.
Yup. Although I do know a lad who was called into the munster academy. Told he needed to put on weight over the summer though. Two sessions a day in UL and eating like a horse + 3 or 4 protein shakes a day and he put on 1.5 stone over 3 months.
Agree. Their love of sensationalism v their love of rugby. 
wonder if any link to Kimmage stepping down as OâDriscoll biographer - did Kimmage want to go down a line of questioning that Oâdriscoll didnât?
More than a third of all British sports men and women currently serving doping bans in the UK are rugby union players, raising questions about the pressure on young players to âbulk upâ in order to compete in the modern game.
Sky News analysis of completed doping cases managed by the UK Anti-Doping Agency (UKAD) shows that 15 of the 46 athletes currently banned are rugby union players or support staff.
The majority of the bans were handed down to young club rugby players active at the lower levels of the game.
One promising player currently banned, Sam Chalmers, the son of former Scotland fly-half Craig, told Sky News that young players are under pressure to build muscle in order to compete, tempting some into using supplements containing banned substances.

South African rugby players Chiliboy Ralepelle and Bjorn Basson have been sent home from the Springboks tour of Britain and Ireland after testing positive for a banned substance.
wonder if it is as bad as cycling?

Melbourne: Former World Anti-Doping Agency chief John Fahey has condemned Australian officials for offering back-dated bans to more than a dozen top-flight rugby players charged with drugs offences that will see most of them miss only three weeks of competition.
Seventeen National Rugby League (NRL) players were accused of using banned supplements in 2011 at the Cronulla Sharks, and 12 current and former players for the Sydney-based team had accepted one-year bans offered by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority, the NRL confirmed on Saturday.
With the ban back-dated to Nov. 2013 and the current NRL regular season finishing next month, most of the offenders will miss only three weeks of play, a plea arrangement slammed as a âsweetheart dealâ by incensed Australian Olympians.
"Im puzzled and disappointed that the ultimate penalty for most of the Cronulla players is only three weeks," Fahey told Reuters in an interview on Saturday. "I dont know where the code allows that.
âI think of all of the other athletes that have been dealt with correctly under the anti-doping code for breaches that have suffered two-year penalties who must be asking themselves today how can this happen to rugby league players when it certainly wasnt available for me? "So it puts, in my view, the integrity of the code from ASADAs management of it in some jeopardy.â
Iâd assume a lot of medium-term âinjuriesâ are bans for doping or something similar. Its easier for the sport to not mention the drugs though.
yes they seem to treat doping differently to other sports, certainly Olympic sports.
The anecdotal evidence, the various reports and snap shots about doping, the size of players, the benefits in an impact game to being bigger, the emphasis on sports science, the involvement of highly skilled people looking for an edge in strength and conditioning. Interesting to see what Kimmage uncovers if he decides to go down the road of investigating rugby as per cycling.

Iâm not sure the mans sanity could handle another trip into the heart of darkness that is the administration of another minority sport.
Can posters please stop using the term âdopingâ, there is nothing wrong with smoking the herb. :mad:
Roiding is acceptable.
