Banned for two years for failing drugs test , what a waste of talent

When i first saw it i thought if it was performance enhancing then i felt a bit sorry for him but to get done for cocaine when it looked like he was getting his career on track is a sad waste. I still think the bans should be more lenient for recreational drugs than they are for performance enhancing ones.

Totally disagree, as being a professional or even semi-pro sportsman, he is a role model.

It's sad, but I tend to agree,

sorry, yes a sad waste but any drugs should be a minimum of 3 years banned. No drugs shoud be condoned

It`s a Class A drug.

They can be used to mask performancing enhancing as though.

I know an ex fax u21's who said when he used to play there was widespread coke users in the game

Ban them and lock 'em up.

Ban them and lock 'em up.
Drug use is not acceptable.

How old is he???

Shame I liked Mick.

Might sound weird but it might be good for him, his career has never really got going because of injuries. he is young enough to come back.
he can sort himself out, hopefully come back injury free. who knows what squad we will have in 2 years. i'd give him a 2nd chance, we gave Penky one that turned out to be a good call.

i don't condone drug taking though

I believe players use other things for that.

What an absolute idiot !!!!

A cracking RL player, but i won't condone use of drugs of any type, i hope he feels crap now after getting caught, of course, if he'd been a Wigan player he could have had his ban reduced with the prospect of a Wembley appearance in a fortnight and even a GF appearance as well.


I have no sympathy whatsoever with any sportsman who uses whatever they use, they know the rules, they know the consequences, waste of talent.
