The Fiji Rugby Union board Chairman Keni Dakuidreketi said proper investigations will now be carried out to establish whether two senior Fiji 15s team officials are allegedly smoking marijuana.
When questioned by Village News today on what the FRU is doing to protect the image of the FRU and Fiji rugby as a whole, Dakuidreketi said there are several rumours circulating at the moment and they need to have sufficient evidence before taking action.
Dakuidreketi also said that the two senior Fiji 15s team officials have confirmed that they were at a drinking party just days before the Australia A match but they have denied the other allegations leveled against them.
Meanwhile, in a report on the Planet Rugby website, two Fiji players who opted to remain anonymous said that the team bus was delayed from leaving their hotel before the game against Australia on June 9th while the two Fiji team officials smoked the drug in the hotel.
One of the players told Fox Sports that many will not comment on the issue for the fear of being victimized and since they got tired of waiting, Captain Alifereti Doviverata gave the directive for the bus to leave and not wait for the two officials.
