Taking massive hits on the body like you get in Rugby through out your career take their toll on the body and bring on later serious health problems is my opinion.

steriods - look at rugby players in the seventies? they did not look like the mountains of today. use your eyes.
testing in rugby and football is patchy. it was revealed this week that Spanish football hadn't had testing for 12 months
Lomu changed rugby. I can't watch it anymore unrecognisable from the game 20+ years ago. The backs are built like wing forwards used to be but able to run like olympic sprinters

going the same way as american wrestlers who also die young STERIODS
There goes another one.
The former Wallabie rugby union player Dan Vickerman, a veteran of 63 Tests for Australia, has died at the age of 37.
Vickerman died on Saturday night and is survived by his wife and two children.
If soccer players were dying at that rate there would be a public enquiry.

Nothing to do with drug taking then? Hits to the body my eye!
I'm no Medic but Kidney failure for both All Blacks Lomu Lauaki could be both drugs related and/or heavy hits to the kidneys.
Foley heart failure possibly caused by heavy hits to the heart area.
Van Der Westhuizen, motor neuron disease could be brought on by hits to the head, isn't that what they said about what happened to boxer Mohammad Ali.
Don't know cause of death for Vickerman yet.
Seems strange all these deaths and no random drug testing being carried out by the sporting authorities, when it's sticking out a mile that they (the players) are all abnormally bulked up.

Sky cycling team won't have any worries over drugs as they don't take them!!!!!
the various sporting bodies aren't keen on testing as cheats who get caught are bad for business.
Footballer said the other day that it was no problem avoiding the drugs test as you always knew which day they were coming. Also I believe no out of competition testing in football.

Ferdinand not the sharpest knife in the drawer, then.
The judgement comes 86 days after Ferdinand was asked to take a test at United's Carrington training headquarters, but left without undergoing the procedure.
Ferdinand claimed he then contacted the club to offer to take the test, but was told it was too late.
