Well probably not so quick. At this stage it appears to be an individual and probably not other members of the team or indeed the club. Steroids do have a medical usage within rugby under the guidance and application of a specialist medial officer. With this application the usage is probably sanctioned by the club doctor and QRU.
I don't know of the steroids outlined in the report, however it is "prohibited both in-and out-of-competition. Anabolic agents pose many threats to an athlete’s health and some side effects may include an increase in blood pressure and cholesterol" etc so it is very concerning. If it was an isolated case i.e. one person I don't think they should have the title taken away; if it was over a number of players and "seemed" to be a systematic abuse of the rules, then UQ would have a case to answer. So far this is not the case.
Either way, it may be useful for UQ to preempt any further flack and maybe have potential players (1st, 2nds and Colts 1) tested for the coming finals, to give the rest of the comp. some assurances.
