Rugby cleans up its act... further...

Wow - a Quins player has been banned for a year, and the club fined £215,000 for faking an injury to get a 'better' player on in the Heineiken cup last year.

Also Justin Harrison has been found guilty of taking cocaine, and has retired (also banned for 8 months).

Sad day on rugby really - I know the drug issue won't go away (especially recreational use), but the 'Quins thing is really disappointing.

I think the hearing for the other players involved in the Bath Rugby drugs "scandal" is later this week, so should be more headlines from that. Hopefully the club can move on once the verdicts are delivered.
