Letter: Drugs and Dallaglio

Sir: I was fascinated by Lawrence Dallaglio's self-exculpatory statement as reported in your pages on 26 May.

If he used drugs as reported in the tabloid Sunday press, it's bad and he should be censured. If he didn't use drugs, but was willing to say he did in order to secure sponsorship (because that is what he seems to have thought his interlocutors wanted to hear) then that is even worse, even though the "good cause" he was supporting was rugby in the inner cities.
