Rugby:Yoann Huget has been dropped from the France World Cup squad for failing to meet doping control obligations, the French Rugby Federation (FFR) confirmed today.

France, who are at a training camp preparing for next month's Rugby World Cup in New Zealand, did not want to take any risks by keeping Huget in the squad. He is accused of three breaches of the rules governing his whereabouts for doping checks. The surprise announcement was made to reporters by French Rugby Federation President Pierre Camou.
