Racing 92’s former All Black Dan Carter cleared of doping wrongdoings

The French rugby authority has cleared former All Black Dan Carter of any doping wrongdoings after the French Championship final, Rugby’s World Player of the Year said on Tuesday.
French newspaper L’Equipe reported earlier this month that tests conducted after the Top 14 final in June, in which Carter’s Racing 92 beat Toulon 29-21, showed he had tested positive for corticoids, typically used to treat inflammation or joint pain.
“I just received the ruling from the FFR today,” Carter said in a statement on Instagram.
“No surprises that the FFR’s ruling was that I’d done nothing wrong. I hold my integrity and the game of rugby’s integrity in the highest regard.

“I love this game and owe so much to rugby that I would never do anything intentionally to bring it into disrepute.
