Facts
The Rugby Football Union (RFU) charges Nathan Jones for a violation of the Anti-Doping Rule. During a rugby match on September 26, 2009, the player was selected for a doping control. However the player refused to provide a sample.
History
Jones was notified of his selection for testing at the conclusion of the match. However due to time pressure to travel to Bristol to work for his father's building contractors he left the Doping Control without providing a sample. As a semi-professional player, his main income came from his work as builder and the company was due to lose £5,000 if it did not complete this contract.
Decision
Two (2) year ban from rugby, including playing, training and acting in any official capacity within the sport.
