[watching Mackay testing the curry in the prison kitchens] Fletcher: Course, he sees 'imself as an authority on curry, he does, on account of where he was stationed in the army. Rudge: Where? India? Fletcher: No, Bradford.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_40413.jpg



Couldn’t happen to a nicer person. W*nker.

I have heard tales for years that players regularly use Cocaine but that they simply know how soon before a game to take it in order that it will be out of their system on game day should they get tested

This article that i have found and "IF" it is correct would kind of back up that Cocaine use is far more rife in our game than we would imagine and that Zak was simply too dumb to realise how the process works.
In theory Zak must have taken the drug within "competition time",which could have been as soon as 12 hours before the game he got tested positive in.

Interesting read here:

The reality is he will have know very well how the process works. Let's not pretend he only ever did this AFTER he left Leeds.

Judging by that article and the time frames involved then did he,or is he that stupid to use cocaine within competition time?
I'm not sure either way tbh

He was one of the names that I heard a while back that was supposedly using it,and that came from Cas fans

I think a strong case can be made for clubs introducing random drug testing starting with recreational drugs like cocaine. Better if the club finds the problem and has a chance to address it with the player early doors, than to risk losing a player long term. Random testing with penalties and counciling and practicle help and guidance might help nip potential problems early doors.

Id be in favour of this if it's as rife as rumoured stamp it out asap.

I'm very confident it's the latter.

"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround." An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42181.jpg



Quote: RHINO-MARK "Allegedly rumoured to be another Cas player?
'"




He was tested and passed a drugs test.

However, he introduced his face to a bouncers fist at our awards evening at Elland road last month, he is long gone from Cas. Not announced yet though.

SL already test for that sort of stuff after training sessions, as mentioned if you test positive for cocaine with them (not on a matchday) it is only an anonymous warning

I think Ive mentioned this before in relation to Hardaker but I really do not care how players behave off the pitch as long as they perform on it (obviously Hardaker wont be performing for a while), Maradonna in the peak years of his career drank a bottle of whisky a night plus he did a load of cocaine, but I bet the Napoli and Argentina fans didnt mind

I'd actually prefer to see all professional sports played with all their competitor's on performance enhancing drugs.

Think seeing Bolt do the 100m in 9 seconds was great? Imagine seeing it done in 5!

Yea that would really help attract sponsors & new income into the sport knowing a lot of the "Stars" are off their t!t$.
Behaviour/habits on/off the pitch go hand in hand.
Wrt Maradonna he wouldn't have made half as many apps at Club/International level under todays scrutiny & rightly so.

Aye, different world, different time wasn't it.

Easy to use the "back in my day" excuse. But the world is a completely different place in 2017.

Quote: RHINO-MARK "A false rumour as it turns out but he has left Cas by mutual consent.'"


Gone down to the Championship with Leigh. He's really gone downhill. Looked very good 3/4 years ago at Hudds but never really worked for him on loan at Wigan and hasn't really shone in a Cas team that has seen most shine. Prime years ahead at 28 and he's not even in SL.
