DHL Supports World Rugby’s #KeepRugbyClean Day

Today is Keep Rugby Clean day and the 20 Rugby World Cup teams are united to promote World Rugby’s leading anti-doping education programs and the importance of maintaining a level playing field for all. DHL is a proud supporter of the initiative.

With England 2015 set to be the most viewed and socially-engaged Rugby World Cup ever, the Tournament provides an unprecedented global stage to educate the next generation of rugby stars about the pitfalls and health dangers of doping, underscoring World Rugby’s zero-tolerance approach to drug cheats in rugby.

Today, September 26 is dedicated to Keep Rugby Clean – a day when England face Wales, South Africa take on Samoa and Italy play Canada. All 620 players, along with team management and referees, are wearing Keep Rugby Clean t-shirts on match day and at media/public events to support the initiative, while dedicated promotions are taking place in stadiums and across social media. Check out the hashtag #KeepRugbyClean to follow all of the activities.

Keep Rugby Clean is recognized as one of the leading anti-doping education programs, having supported more than 13,000 players and team management since its launch in 2005 and is a mandatory player welfare education component of every World Rugby event.

Keep Rugby Clean aims to assist players and support staff understand their responsibilities when it comes to competing clean and highlight the health and career dangers of taking shortcuts to make it to the top, using hard-hitting videos featuring players who have been banned for doping.
