Players failing new drug test will not be named

England's professional rugby movement, rocked to its very foundations by last year's drug-related scandals at Bath, yesterday announced new regulations that will increase out-of-competition testing for so-called "recreational substances" – cocaine, cannabis, amphetamine and ecstasy – while providing a cloak of anonymity for players found to be indulging. Positive tests will be made public only if a player is caught a second time.
