This evening I took an online education course created by the International Rugby Board to raise the awareness of the anti-doping program, the process of athlete drug testing and some interesting facts about the program. I think that all our players, coaches, referees and administrators should take time to take the course. Not only does the course explain the process and what our athletes should be aware of, it also explains the impact of taking banned substances and there reason for being banned in the first place.
