[QUOTE="BigTen, post: 93080"] Do today's players juice up? Interesting question but based on the amount of players there are and the rarity that players get "caught" and banned I would say no. However I would add that players that do not play at a professional level don't get tested for drugs. And therefore I would expect that some of these players that struggle to lift their strength, weight and endurance up to the next level would be strongly tempted to find something that gave them a helping hand. Or maybe a player that is coming back from injury and can't quite get back to 100% may turn to something illegal to help them out. Overall I would say that amongst the top echelon of rugby players drug use is not something that is done but once you get below that level - seriously who knows! [/QUOTE]
