French Rugby Federation Imposes Alcohol Ban to Curb Misconduct

The FFR introduces strict measures including alcohol prohibition and potential drug testing to address recent controversies.

The French Rugby Federation (FFR) has banned alcohol consumption during national team activities following a series of off-field incidents.
New regulations include a proposal for drug and alcohol testing, and a ban on alcohol at the national rugby center, stadiums, and changing rooms.
Recent controversies include racist remarks by Melvyn Jaminet and allegations of sexual assault against Hugo Auradou and Oscar Jegou.
The FFR has introduced 26 measures aimed at preventing misconduct, with a focus on improving team discipline and environment.
The measures will be in effect during France's upcoming matches against Japan, New Zealand, and Argentina in November.
