Royalty Purple Raspberry - Virus?

Hi All,
So after getting a royalty in the ground and waiting a year for it to fruit, it has set all fruit with crumbly berries and relatively few drupelets (see photo) - all the fruit is like this, not just a fraction of it. Although they taste ok, I've read that this can likely be caused by a virus, such as bushy dwarf virus. I don't want to leave the plant in to spread any problems it has.
I'd appreciate any advice or opinions - I'm thinking of getting it tested since I really want to avoid pulling it out if I don't have to.
