OP i doubt very much the game side were aware. One of the bans was for driving one of the guilty away from the testing not taking anything. I am disappointed by your little englander slur on foreign players. Whilst he qualified and played for Romania through ancestry he was brought up in and played for a variety of English clubs. Sadly just an example of individuals thinking they can break the rules and get away with it- no apologist for this behaviour but ultimately far less dangerous to others than those who enjoy a few beers at the rugby club and then drive home.

Marigold,
Would you not agree that generally, a player would 'avoid' being tested for one reason only?
I don't think OP made any 'slur' against foreign players. OP said 'foreign international'. I believe that OP was referring to the higher level of rugby played by that individual, which may in turn have seen him need to remain at a higher level of fitness. In his case, through the use of banned substances.
This player was a prolific try scorer at Levels 4 & 5. We now know he 'cheated'. How would you feel if this 'cheat' had scored a number of tries against your club in a level 5 match?
I agree that this is a sad state of affairs but to say that this 'cheating' is less dangerous than drink driving is strange indeed. I don't see the comparability?
