I assume you haven't read the article. It says that the former Hull FC chief executive and conditioner are also involved and will be banned.

Hes been banned for using a product that I can guarantee at least half of professional rugby players will be using. OxyElitePro and the very similar Jack3D are commonly used supplements for aiding energy prior to training/games and also have fat stripping functions. The product was given to Gleeson by Sean Long who checked its legitimacy with the then trainer at Hull FC Ben Cooper. Martin Gleeson has been a victim here of false guidance and being the unlucky one to face punishment. Hopefully, it is sorted legally and his ban is reduced/revoked. The Wigan situation is completely separate incident to this one so those who are saying "its to do with the problems he has when he was at Wigan" are completely wide of the mark.

I am no fan of Gleeson but do have some sympathy for him with regards to this. I am sure that most players would think that supplements that are given the okay from the clubs conditioner are okay to take.

rlThat's what you call throwing a grenade into the mix.rl

Jesus, they'll be hitting each other over the heads with sandals by morning.

i believe the part of the official statement which said...."couldt concentrate on his game because of "off field personal problems" "
