if it was sum1 like riddle or tim smith then id obv want em out !!
but hock is better then both and a wigan lad so we should stand by him what if he took 2nd test and was negetive ? im sure we'd all be sorry and what if that happends and we stupidly release him and wire,saints snap him up ?!

Young George Flanagan got sacked by Batley last week after testing positive for cocaine and getting the 2 year ban.

i was around in the 60s, early 70s when drugs were the "in" thing....lsd, coke, marijuana, speed, uppers, downers, and owt else you could try.

i prefered booze......and refused drugs many times.

i admit to smoking one joint of best morrocan but it had no effect as i was p!shed as a f@rt at the time.
so i never bothered again.

I think in light of the damage that has been caused to the clubs good name the management / directors need to close out any possibility of other players / staff being found to have done the same thing.

The club should automatically test all employee's for compliance.

This is now happening on construction sites where random drugs and Alcohol checks / test are now commonly undertaken.

As long as he hasnt taken anything similar in the mean time, id bet money on his B test coming back negative or inconclusive.

Its fairly quick moving out of your system and can be detox flushed , the only ones who it would still show in the system are very frequent users.

Also depends on what level they test it at, if its urine of mouth swab then that is the weakest detection after that length of time

Depends what's written in the players contract of employment in terms of internal club testing. Having a SL contract means they have to take a UK Sport test if asked.

Yeh Hes A Profesional but for all i dont think hes this stupid to take drugs tbh i think there could even be good reason what if he went to a pub or sumat after the england game what if some1 spiked his drink ,for all we know hock could be getting punnished for no reason ,im not saying he did not but could be possible ?

"ATTENTION!!! IAN LENEGAN!!! ARE YOU LISTENING?!!!"

the a and b tests are taken at the same time, the b sample is frozen until it is needed (when the a sample positive).

The club will release him if his b sample tests positive (and rightly so). I'm sorry but I couldn't care less if he is a wigan lad if he's in the wrong he should be punished. The stance you are taking is a load of bollox

I bet Lenagan rues the day he bothered buying this club



It's more fooking hassle then it's worth.

He was tested after the salford game and he ain't been punished yet! If the b sample also tests positive he should be banned fair and square
