The issue is not performance enhancing in totality, otherwise pasta would be banned, but illegal performance enhancing substances. That is a judgement call by the powers not the individual. New substances and practices have to be banned before they are illegal. On school of thought is that if a player is liable for any substance in their system why not allow all substances an make the player the ultimate arbiter. I am not in favour of that for a lot of boring reasons but the readers of Spiked magazine possibly would be.

So if it comes out that Aiton is actually banned and does play in the final, will the RFL end up in a situation where they will have to hand Cas the cup by default due to Leeds playing an ineligible player regardless of the result?

That would be a PR nightmare, to say the least. Hopefully nothing like that over shadows the game.

Most stupid post in a long time. Really crap troll.

GH and now Mac have both stated (one more time for the trolls) the player, the club and the RFL have not had any contact from ASADA or WADA and Aiton is not a part of the investigation. He hasn't been issued with a notice.

So how you get Leeds being stripped of the cup from that says you are daft as a brush.

Wasn't a troll, was a legitimate question sorry if you didn't like it 5.09912109375:5
