Answer 1

Yes, they do have random drug testing in Rugby.   Many were tested during the recent World Cup...I think around 180...all were negative.

Answer 2

No I think they don`t have.

Answer 3

Yes they do and have had for some while.  Players in this world cup were tested randomly, and none came back with any substances.  There was a Fijian player, i think his name was Rupeni Caucaunibuca, was banned from this world cup due to marijuana found in his system a few months back

Answer 4

yes they do have random  drug testing in rugby.  I remember walter Little had some ban substance back in the 90's when rugby went pro.  he said he took pain killers for a headache.  

I'm not sure if the team or player would be stripped of medals etc.  There was a rumour that ex Sprinbox, James Small use to take drugs before a match to make him more agro...

Answer 5

Have not heard of it.... the predominant substance found in a rugby players blood would doubtless be ALCOHOL!
