Quote: Vectrabeast "If that is how you want to decipher it then thats up to you. I have been led to believe that Hock hasn't spoken directly to IL, that all conversation has been through his agent and also that contrary to any statement from the club Hock hasn't missed training or rehabilitation. I'm not claiming that everything I have been told is gospel, just that I believe most of it to be true, there are bound to be differences of opinion when information is coming from various sources but what I would class as the important information is pretty credible to me.
I'm not spreading rumours about the club or any individuals I'm merely giving my opinion based on information I have. (information that I have kept entirely to myself)'"

That's not interpretation, that is published in black and white.
Wigan chairman Ian Lenagan stood by Hock during his drugs ban, but added: "Gareth Hock has made it clear in face-to-face discussions with me and via his agent that he has no intention of playing for the Wigan club.
