💨 Abstract

Six Georgian rugby players have been suspended for doping violations, including sample substitution, following a joint investigation by World Rugby and WADA. The investigation revealed collusion between members of the Georgian Anti-Doping Agency and the team's support personnel, who alerted players about upcoming tests. The irregularities were detected through World Rugby's athlete passport management program. The players and support personnel involved have been charged and sanctioned.
