If the article is true and the people at the RFL have any integrity whatsoever both Rimmer and Rosewarne will resign. The RFL knew there was the potential for a huge blight on the game but rather than doing the right thing and sending out the right message they covered it up!! This is not the behaviour you expect from a supposedly impartial governing body.
Terry Newton alluded to the use of drugs within the sport - we have seen at Leeds with Bailey and Senior examples of +ve tests - the sport needs cleaning up and soon. Otherwise it runs the risk of ending up like cycling or athletics where no one believes any of the results are a true reflection of the abilities of the participants involved.
With regards the stuff a Hull - this is pretty small fry. compared to the use of anabolic steroids, HGH or blood doping. Only the nieve can believe these more serious offences are not prevalent within the game both here and in the NRL.
RL is the greatest game played by the bravest warriors - all stakeholders need tangible evidence that its participants are running on their natural fuel not some additive enhanced petrol.
It appears that the OxyElite Pro is only banned from use during competition. You are just not allowed to use it 12 hours before a game. That is why other players are said to be on it. They can use it during the week, only Gleeson was stupid enough to use it within that 12 hour window. Which also explains why, when the other players were tested, there was no trace
Frankly, if Sean and Bernard Long told me it was Tuesday I'd want to go find a calendar just to check.
I await their list of culprits complete with dates/times etc with interest - or like Paul Cullen before them are they more likely to prefer "shut up" to "put up"?
