'Take supplements, take a risk' is the message from World Rugby.

It's 'Keep Rugby Clean Day' and a familiar face is fronting the campaign against supplements

Dr Contepomi lends his advice.

WORLD RUGBY HAVE launched a new programme to warn players about the dangers of taking nutritional supplements to increase size or improve performance.

Former Leinster out-half Dr Felipe Contepomi fronts the campaign and appears in a new educational video directed towards young players.

The sport’s governing body is ‘committed to providing the best possible level of advice and education to young rugby players as they embark on potential careers in the sport.’

Today is ‘Keep Rugby Clean Day’ at the U20 Championships in Italy where players from all competing nations have taken part in anti-doping workshops as rugby chiefs hope to enlighten the next generation.
