Georgia rugby doping scandal: Six players banned after urine-swapping scheme investigation

World Rugby has sanctioned six Georgian players and one support staff member following what it described as the most extensive anti-doping investigation in rugby history. The individuals were found to have been involved in a urine sample substitution scheme that took place over an extended period leading up to the men's 2023 Rugby World Cup. The investigation concluded with bans issued as a result of the urine-swapping conspiracy.
