Japan University Rugby Association arrested for compliance training for all teams
Following the arrest of a member of the Nihon University Rugby Club on suspicion of violating the Cannabis Control Law, the Japan Rugby Association provided training in the top leagues to ensure compliance to all teams, including universities. I decided to proceed.
Last year, the Japan Rugby Association dispatched experts to all 16 teams following the arrest and prosecution of two top league Toyota Motor Corporation players who were arrested and indicted for violating the Drug Control Law, aiming for thorough compliance. I have been training.
The Japan Association has conducted training in the top league this time after a 21-year-old member of the Nihon University Rugby Club of the Kanto League Division 1 was arrested for violating the Cannabis Control Law for possessing cannabis. And all teams, including universities, decided to ensure thorough compliance.
"We have communicated the importance of legal compliance, but it is a pity that such problems have arisen," commented Japan Association Chairman Mori Shigetaka.
