Six Georgians suspended for doping ahead of European rugby final against Portugal

Six players from the Georgian national team have been suspended for anti-doping regulation violations just two days before facing Portugal in the Rugby Europe Championship (REC) final. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and World Rugby announced that the investigation uncovered an organised system involving the use of recreational drugs and the tampering of doping control samples, leading WADA to lose confidence in the Georgian anti-doping programme.
