“IT’S THE right thing to do.”.
So concluded the Rugby Football League’s head of medical and integrity officer Laura Fairbank when I chatted with her last week about the requirement that clubs’ chairs and welfare officers must complete UK Anti-Doping’s Sport Advisor course.
The RFL is without the shadow of a doubt absolutely correct to adopt that stance. Indeed, there would be an outcry if they didn’t. Rugby League is simply following best practice, as to the best of my knowledge are all other sports, in adopting UKAD’s stipulations and recommendations.
