Armitage denies any wrongdoing

n Steffon Armitage insists he has done nothing wrong despite the "stress" of his "abnormal" doping test result.

The Toulon flanker was informed yesterday that he tested positive for the prohibited substance morphine after the Top 14 final defeat by Toulouse on June 9.

Toulon have issued a statement insisting the result was caused by approved painkillers and anti-inflammatories prescribed for back pain.
