Team impaired by drug in European Cup loss
Associated Press
BUCHAREST, Romania -- Members of Romania's rugby team tested positive for a substance that causes drowsiness and might have been impaired during a match against Russia. Romanian players said they felt sleepy during Saturday's 33-24 loss in a European Cup match, and asked to be tested. Doctors discovered traces of phenothiazine, a substance that causes sleepiness, in the urine of 12 players a day after the loss, Romanian Rugby Federation spokesman Radu Constantin said Tuesday. Constantin said it was possible that the substance was added to the players' breakfast hours before the match. "An unjustifiable feeling of drowsiness was noticed" Constantin said. Because the hospital's lab wasn't able to test all the players, the untested samples were sent to a sports medical institute in Bucharest. The results of those tests were not yet available. Romania is to meet Georgia on Saturday in another match of the European Rugby Cup. fucking funny i was wondering when something crazy like this would happen.maybe the same thing happend to the wings last night they looked pretty tired :) |
