3 years??? 5 Years more like!!!

I'm sure your near enough right there JC , but I think if he passes whatever tests and hoops Sport UK have set for him to jump through he can start training with us again around Xmas time .

A bit unfair some mentiionlng Mick Govin in the same breath as that drug cheat Hock .

Hock - deliberately took performance enhancing drugs to improve his muscle bulk , take a look at him tonight on't telly at Wiggin he's still showing the benefits of his time as a deliberate drug cheat and IMO shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the national team .

Govin - made a poor judgement call and took a recreational drug with his mates , take a look round Wiggin tonight at all the yoofs of Mick's age who have been shovelling coke up their nose and you'll find it's about 75 % .

Unfair that they both carry the penalty but only one of them has come out of it better off .

Gareth Hock was done for taking coke in 2009. Where is the difference. I think you are getting Hocky mixed up with someone else.

Just to clear up any possible confusion. When I said on another thread that Govin had been invited to train with Leigh again, a while back, I meant Leigh have invited him back already, but with a view to training with the club in the future. ie when he is allowed to and the ban is done and dusted etc. Hope this makes sense.

I think the RFL allowed Hock to train with the Wigan squad 6 or 8 months before his ban was up.
