Always thought there is a distinction between a player taking performance enhancing drugs and one taking recreational drugs (both dumb ideas BTW). I would ban the former for life and sack the one taking recreational drugs, the reasons being that the performance enhancing is cheating, while the other has the consequence of REDUCING the level your performances.
Hock has served his ban and under current rules he can return. Hope Wigan are going to make him do some community work with kids to warn them of the dangers of being a complete idiot like himself.

It seems that he's been punished, learnt from his mistake and moved forward. That's a credit to him.

| Quote SiY="SiY"While Hock has been away he has been working closely with the community as well as working hard on bettering himself in his education and rehabilitation. Lenegan said that unless Hock actively turned his life around then Wigan would not be interested, but did say if Hock wants to change and work hard on becoming a better person in and outside of the sport then Lenegan and Wigan would support him.
I think it is great that he has worked hard to turn himself around from where he was and i think it's amazing that the club just hasn't left him to rot. Cocaine is a recreational drug that A LOT of people use. And drug abuse can stem from many different reasons and it is naive and a little heartless to neglect and not show support to those who WANT to rehabilitate.
Hock has done this and Wigan have supported him, his 5 year contract show's not only his commitment to giving back to the club that stuck with him, but Wigan's confidence and trust they have put in him to sticking to his new life.'"

Desperate??? In what way? We are the champions and if we win our game in hand we go top of the league. Obviously a very desperate club. |

Hudson took drugs to help him on the pitch, hock got in with the wrong crowd and got carried away he took the punishment he was given and should have a second chance
The drug is rife within the game it's just people aint been caught yet |

He's served his time and, if reports are to be belived, worked hard in the community to make up for his error. Fair play he should be allowed to start over.
The length of the contract suprises me, perhaps wigan have used the support they've shown him to press for a modest salary and want to make the most of it.

Unpaid for 6 months. Then learning various skills to carry out youth work, including speaking at schools, young offenders' and jails, and also going to college to learn plumbing skills and work for a local plumbing firm, from the sounds of it. All the time being coached mentally and physically by an ex-army Sergeant.
Yep, definitely deserves hanging out to dry. |
