Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

And you have evidence of this accusation ?

| He's been taking illegal substances, and he got caught. End of .... Govin, you t!t ....
And if any of the squad have been doing the same, then I hope they stop. Otherwise, they'll get theirs as well.

icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

Well, as a lot of people were aware of his "actions" when he was playing elsewhere, i find it surprising no one within the club "high up" were tipped the nod.

the 'casual drugs' thing is more widespread than you think
last season a Toulouse player was approached after their home game by a couple of Championship players (no names) asking where they could by some 'fixes' for the nighs' entertainment - there are quite well known/recognisable players
who knows how big the problem is ?

Just like everyone knew Hock was doing it years before getting caught, same with Govin Im afraid!
The club have stuck by him, when his first sample tested positive he admitted to the charge. That was quite a while ago and he has been around the club since including the final and the celebrations!
On a side note so thats breaking the cap and having a druggie, maybe you will win the grand final to

| Last words I am going to say about this. Walt the moral high ground is where we should be where drink and drugs are concerned. These two things are the biggest problems in areas of poverty and in the middle classes. I very much doubt that Mick is an adict as he would probably need to spend about £350 a week on the stuff and I don't think he has that much disposable income. I would say that players today drink nowhere near as much as bygone days because the game has changed and fitness is paramount. To keep using the drinking habbits of players from 20 years ago is wrong. I'm not talking about 16 and 17 year old kids being influenced by this I mean the U10s, U12s, U16s teams at the Miners nad at East who have players who look upto Mick as a role model. These are the people that need to be taught the lesson that what he has done is wrong and bad for them, and not just at the clubs there will be kids who come to watch RL that don't play that think he is great. When Terry Newton did away with himself I wrote that the RFL should make sure that this never happens ever again and players caught should not just be cast aside but they must be punished and severly. He should have nothing to do with RL for 12 months and in that time he must pass a co run by the RFL which he must take random tests to make sure he isn't using it anymore. The second twelve months he should be made to a second part where he went round to local clubs and hammered home to the kids the horrors that come from drinking and taking drugs. I don't think this should have anything to do with the clubs community dept either. What amazes me about using cocaine these days is that it isn't cocaine. It is anything but and it is riddled with cancer causing chemicals. Just because he pulled on a Leigh shirt and it is only a recreational drug should not cloud anyones judgement. It is wrong and very wrong.

| When Govin first went missing from the team, it was stated/rumoured that he had an injury and I thought;here we go again the injury prone thing had struck! Personally i'm bitterly dissappointed that Drugs is the reason he wont be playing. I have always been a great admirer of his play, he is a gifted player and competent goalkicker who is able to play in many positions. The team have performed fantastically this season and players like Ridyard,Ellis,Duffy and Hill have been at the forefront however, when introduced into play Govin has made a signifcant difference to our play and, never more so than the two thrashings handed out to Widnes where he totally changed the direction of play! Its interesting that Mick Nanyn has not figured as much, in Govin's absence!
I obviously dont know Mick Govin however, at twenty six years old he still has time to change his life around, should he want too? My advice would be, get some help Mick change your life around and come back in two years time and help Leigh into Super League! Penky,Hock and Hudson are all examples!

| 1. Unlike Heroin Cocaine isnt a drug you get physically addicted to, mentally yes in that you feel you need it to have a good time etc..
2. The substance Mick has been banned for isn't Cocaine but a (not 100% correct but saves a longer winded post) substance that is left in the organs of the body (usually the liver) after prolonged Cocaine use/abuse.
3. A low grade Cocaine will leave the body after about 5 days, thats why most sports 'stars' don't get caught, by low grade I mean a lesser percentage mix with the substance used to 'cut' or mix it to make it go farther.
4. There have been no recorded deaths due to Cocaine use whereas Alcohol, tobacco and heroin use causes thousands per year.
5. Do not confuse Cocaine powder use/abuse with crack cocaine they are totally different in the way it's taken and the effect it has on the body.
So those of you out there who smoke or drink more than the recommended units per week/day or at all are in a bigger danger than a Cocaine user, and cost the taxpayer far more in health bills, it's just that one is illegal and the others are not.
In other words you take it you take the chance - but most of us take substances that are more harmfull to the body, and most 'kids' know that - not that Cocaine is a 'kids' drug per se the substance they are taking thinking it's cocaine is usually Amphetamine (speed)- which in it's self can be very harmfull yet is a lesser drug according to The Drugs Act, and is easier and cheaper to manufacture.
Sorry to sermonise but Drugs education was something I was passionate about in my other 'life'

No what's surprising is how rife it is in the sport, and yet so few get pulled for it.
