Drug use rife in French Rugby in the 1980s

Buck Shelford has always suspected that the French team who beat the All Blacks in Nantes in 1986 were hyped on drugs. Looks like his suspicions were well founded.

No unfounded conspiracy theories here folks.

When the French team doctor who was giving them the drugs admits to giving them the drugs, that is very credible. The author of the book also wrote "LA Confidential" and played a huge part in exposing Lance Armstrong as a low-life drugs cheat.

Maybe next time he will expose the fact that the 1899 Wallabies used Meth to defeat England.

yeah whatever...not a shred of evidence from Shelford

I saw it in their eyes your Honour :wacko:

International players now gathering to start a process in justice against these slurs where there is absolutely no evidence, one guy wites a book and Shelford says he saw it in their eyes (can he also walk on water) hardly convincing but if these are untruths, justice will be done.

He can walk on water as far as the Kiwis go.......all All Blacks can!!!!!

Three decades on and he's still crying about one loss? Or is he just referenced in the story/article?

In a case like this, what constitutes evidence? Eye witness testimony was accepted as evidence against Lance Armstrong.

If this turns out to be true, it would certainly explain my childhood memories of French front rows running out for the anthems looking like they'd done 5 rounds with Mike Tyson as well as the 1992 match against England!

Not really Buck's style I'd have thought. His nut sack may have a different view of course!
