| The sad thing is the cover up, which is exactly what happened with Cunningham.
Then of course we had the Bailey and Senior "cold remedies"
Senior admitted in his book that it there were other Leeds players "taking the cough drops."
Paul Cullen made a statement to say that drug taking was rife in the game, then sort of denied it.
Get it all out in the open, and get them banned.

| There is some real issue here. We have seen some players who have tested positive get away with it regardless of getting the ok from a conditioner or not. Most if not all conditioners are not Doctors now i would say that all clubs have a Doctor attached to it in some sort of capacity. Conditioners are not doctors. Gleeson should have showed some intelligence and sourced info from his GP or the clubs doctor himself.
But this is what i am not comfortable with is that Cunningham, Bailey and Senior have got away with taking an illegal substance. Rules with drugs insports should be black and white as various drugs can hide things in the body. Gleeson in his time at Wigan has showed himself to be a great player but a total idiot. A great waste of talent.
But if Gleeson has got banned prospective GB players not. I bet if he was in an England shirt he would not get a ban as 3 other players who played for GB have not.

| The only person responsible for Martin Gleeson failing a drug test is the player himself as no one forced him to do it.As for the other two ,if they were involved with the supply or with a cover up then they are equally guilty and deserve everything that they get.

| [url=http://www.hullfc.com/newsarticle.aspx?n=20051Interesting statement from Hull[/url
Quote The new owner was not made aware of the full UKAD investigation until completing the takeover of the club, but once the new management team were briefed on the investigation they cooperated fully with UKAD and the RFL and understand the stance both organisations have been forced to take.
The new board are extremely disappointed at the handling of the entire process by the former Chairwoman, CEO and board and of course the player for taking a banned substance in the first instance.'"
Adam Pearson really doesn't like Kath Hetherington.

It seems not, in this instance, the club conditioner ok'ed it. Why should Gleeson then question it? We're not talking obviously prohibited substances here.

| Quote Teessidewire="Teessidewire"It's nothing to do with the RFL, the Drugs Agency set the bans. If you are referring to K. Cunningham, that was eight years ago and the drug concerned was only banned in 2010.'"
Nothing to do with Cunningham - far from it.
I cannot understand how a former director of a Championship club can get banned from the sport for 'financial infringments' and in another breath a former CEO of another club only gets 2 years for covering up a doping offence. I fail to see where breaking financial rules is 4 times more punishable that is all.

Unlucky not to win the Harry Sunderland Trophy less than 15 months ago.

| I'll echo what many others have said. I hope he gets the help and support he needs, and maybe come back to play the game again.
IMO we still miss him at Wigan.
