Forgive me if i'm showing ignorance of drug culture hear but isn't cocane a recreational rather than a peformance enhancing drug?

the "Wigan" defence


next you will be saying Wigan didn't break the Salary Cap THREE times.

I feel sorry for Hock and sorry for the bad publicity it will bring to the game. I think a two year ban is mandatory.

If Gareth Hock had been playing for Salford, we'd have beaten Wigan three times this season in my opinion. He'll be a big loss to Wigan AND England.

I can understand anyone being being tempted by drink, drugs, women gambling or any other vice you can name. Unfortunately as a professional sportman you don't get tested or banned for any of the others. I guess that is the meaning of addiction and why some guys carry on. Reason just flies out of the window.

at a pub in worsley nearly every week!

Gareth Hock has been a tool , he knew the conditions when he signed his contract.

a) pain inhibiter , good for those mid season knocks
b) masks trace elements of other performance enhancing drugs
c) faster out of the body than say Cannabis ...
d) recreational use a ' bonus '
