doesn't say anything really does it lol.

It's actually a different article to the one I originally linked too which said they had found a stash of urine in the changing room.



Seems that one links to some story about jam.



EDIT - The urine story is at the bottom.

This story was on the news at 10 and the 7pm c4 news but rugby league still didn't get a mention. What does the sport have to do to get some national coverage?!?!

For all that I'm babbling on about this though, personally I do love it. Sport is narrative to me, and it's as much about the stories as it is about what goes on on the pitch.

Just for once, I'd expect people to be happy at this situation.

They should be subjected to the most stringent of testing.

Drugs in sport in my opinion is bad and needs to be eradicated.

Saying that, I'd rather have a scandal about catching people than have a clean record because we don't test.



The sport won't die on this. For a start it sounds like all codes are affected so its not like Union is going to benefit because no one likes League any more.



The cycling issues are a special case because of Armstrong's celebrity status. But even then, Sky as mentioned above are putting a lot of money in, but equally they demand a clean team. They caused part of the stink by making their team test constantly and find some out.

And HTC are making losses at the moment so may not like the idea of investing no matter what happens.



Of course it depends how many are caught. If the whole Aussie team, turn out to be doped up they can still field a team that are not and compete. If one team is seen to be a major offender and all their team are banned, we'd soon have another team take their place.



For me, the way to handle this as a governing body, is to praise the clean ones. Make it clear the world cup will have a major testing campaign and ride the publicity that we can say w are clean when other codes cannot say that.



Time will tell who is found out, and I sincerely hope it turns out to be a few low level players but the fact that Rugby League is the biggest sport down under would mean that the media will hound anyone even suspected so won't be pretty for a while.

The statement that has been released to the media is causing all sorts of issues in the fact it is tarnishing many sports and Clubs and players unfairly.

They should shut up and present their case with facts before having a press conference.

They have just dragged at least a couple of sports through the mud at the start of their respective seasons without putting out any evidence at all at this stage.



I am sure there will be problems as there are in all sports all over the World but this has been a media Circus so far.

Lets stick with out shi**y but clean version of the game that is SL!!



The story of hidden vials of urine is boll*x-Ive been drug tested and the pot you pee into has a basic heat sensor on it. Plus they stand behind you watching you pee.

The Vials were apparently in a toilet cistern at a ground that 40 odd teams have used in recent times.



Lost of rubbish will be put in the media before the truth comes out.



I hope the clean Clubs look at taking legal action for the unfair insinuations that have been put forward this week.



You used to be innocent until proven guilty, not seeing much of that so far in this story.

Those last gasp victories we've been doing since 1908? Get your hand off it...
