The problem with hock is that he probably thought that he could have multiple doses over a few days and it would be out of his system 24-48 hours later when it isn't the case with multiple doses due to the stimulants half life.

I heard a rumour about an international player with a massive cocaine problem,

as for over the counter stimulants/pain relief drugs, its ridiculous how many you will see in any dressing room before a game...pills mainly painkillers, caffeine (even ephiedrine) are used to such an extent one player will suffer one day from an overdose

I believe he is talking about his time at Halifax!!

Was Martin Pearson there at the time?

Just google pro-hormones, these are basically designer steroids many end up banned in the end

I am far from an expert on this - but somewhere in my addled memory I seem to recall hearing that some types of pro-hormones were virtually, if not completely, undetectable? Something to do with the way they convert into natural chemicals? Or something?

Aye, likely story... I bet you're juiced up to the eyeballs aren't you!

things like creatine and muscle building drinks are available everywhere. creatine is peformance enhancing because it aids muscle recovery, speeding up the process enabling a hard training session to be repeated or increased in a shorter space of time. most clubs are quite open about this side of things, hull for example frequently plug their association with maximuscle. not sure if dunneman is referring to these or more shady items

Ive used crutches before but could still pi@@
