Munster star Murray slams claims he failed drugs test

Munster and Ireland rugby superstar Conor Murray has slammed the “crazy” and inaccurate rumours he failed a drugs test and missed the start of the season because he was quietly serving a ban.

Murray, who signed a three-year contract extension worth an estimated €2m during his lay-off, making him one of the country’s best paid players, said the rumours circulating while he was actually out with a neck injury not only affected him but also his family.
