| Quote Big Ask="Big Ask"I hope that Senior comes back.
I dont support Leeds
I don't think he was anything other than OK at international level.
He has been a fantastic servant to Rugby League
He's made some mistakes.'"
I don't.
Me neither.
I agree.
'Fantastic' is a little OTT
Hell yeah. |

| Quote kevl84="kevl84"Gareth Hock gets a 2 year ban for testing positive for a non performance enhancing drug, yet senior gets a £1500 fine for the performance enhancing drug because he said it was used for an illness. Seems a bit weird to me.'"
You missed the bit about Hock's drug of choice being a class A illegal substance.
You also missed the bit about Senior declaring the cold medication he had taken to the testers prior to giving his sample, as Ryan Bailey did at the same time.
Other than that, well done on your accurate summary of the facts and attempt to defend your own player's inability to keep Colombian marching powder out of his enormous nostrils.
I'll leave the tery of drawing a direct comparison in terms of wrongdoing between taking Sudafed and taking cocaine, and the WADA guidelines on punishment for testing positive for each for someone else with more time and inclination to deal with. |

Righto, best thing for any player who wishes to take performance enhancing drugs is to call it s cold medicine and declare it before being tested.

I can see how UK Sport would be fooled into thinking that someone had metabolytes of cocaine in their system through taking Buttercup Syrup.
No, really.
Is it the special needs day in the IT suite today? |

Move to Widnes would be his best option of playing superleague next season. Can't see Leeds giving him a new deal. |

He had Ephedrine in his system, we all know that people take this as a stand alone drug whilst training/playing sports to increase stamina, power and alertness.
I am sure he was taking it for a little cough he had, not as he thought he get away with it. It just so happened at the same time the RL greatly increased their testing regime! |

Brilliant. A modern day rugby legend possibly career ended and some haveto try and make him out to be a drug cheat. I assume you k ow all the inside details and that the drug was not actually from his medicine for cold? |
