The RFL need to employ a respected former player or coach as a guidance mentor for young, impressionable players. However, given their astonishing lack of good judgement and awareness, they'd probably end up appointing someone like John Elias.

Do you think Martin Aspinwall saw the flashing blue lights in his mirror and thought, "oh no, I should pull over because I'm a rugby league player and a role model"?
I'd say someone losing their liberty is sufficient punishment for breaking the law of the land. If their employer chooses to keep their job open for them when they return then that's up to them, just like it is for every other employer in every other field of work.
I'd be no more in favour of the RFL intervening and banning people once they've served their time than I would any other professional body dictating to its members who they can and cannot employ.
If you want to know why players get bans for taking recreational substances, have a look at the WADA anti-doping regulations the RFL are signed up to.'"
The fact the RFL is signed up to WADA doesnt in and of itself justify the hypocrisy in the two stances.
IF the RFL are in no position to moralise about a players legal indiscretions, why are they in a position to moralise about the recreational use of drugs? |

| Quote: Andy Gilder "Again, it may have escaped your attention but possession of Class A narcotics is breaking the law. That the police and CPS choose not to prosecute is down to them, still means the players have committed a criminal offence.'"
However having a controlled substance in your system, whether that be class A, B, or C or ungraded like Tobacco or Alcohol does not constitute possession of said substance. There is no law broke by being under the influence of a control substance. |

Psilocilbyn is a Class A substance. Im not sure what it could possibly be other than a recreational drug.
You must have a very interesting job for it to possibly be performance enhancing, or a very strange illness for it to be medicinal.

Doesn't count Count. He was given it by the RFL's doctor. If anything the RFL should have paid compensation for that. |

used to be medicinal but I would suggest Ileagal drug. I personally dont like the term recreational. Its not You are breaking the law to possess it, and for me recreational makes it more acceptable. I dont disagree thats probably a catagory it would fit in I just dont like the term. |

recreational is used to describe the reason it is used, not its legal status. Alcohol is a recreational drug.
The law on drugs is as pointless as it is counter productive. There is no sense or logic behind it. Psilocilbyn is a class A substance even though it has next to no toxicity, they dont actually know at what level it would be fatal, because nobody has ever been able to take enough of it. It is naturally occurring and none-addictive. Alcohol on the other hand (similarly grouped as a psychoactive drug) is pretty toxic, can cause heart disease, can be fatal in relatively small doses, is carcinogenic, physically addictive, can cause diabetes, strokes, dementia, around 33'000 people in this country alone die as a result of alcohol's toxicity. That's not to mention the thousands who die because of the impaired decision making (accidents, falls, violence, drink driving etc)
The laws position on a certain drug, bares no relation to the harm that drug can cause. |
