Need to see his side of the story first, loads of chemicals floating around in prescription drugs, it would be a shame for the game to lose such a talent, one of few who really gives the aussies a fright( and I don't mean his looks), he may even get a lighter ban being a Wigan player.

Be serious. He's known for it. Arguably should have gone during the last wigan drugs shake down. |

| Quote: pieman in yorkshire "I wasn't condoning what he has done but given the google search on here about masking it and alleged widespread use in certain areas of society then it seems certain to me that he was stupid to get caught, a point that doesn't surprise me.
One question is, if the test is so easy to fool then, why not find a workaround
If the facts are correct with traces remaining for months then the RFL drugs test should include having a sample of hair taken as well.
This news is not only a bad day for rugby league but also a sad reflection on society today, it highlights the inadequacies of the testing system which obviously need to be more stringent.'"
Quote: pieman in yorkshire "They caught him.'"
My point is that it seems that they were lucky to catch him |

| Quote: Catalancs "He's up Wigan with his mates. They're all doing it so he joins in. Like you say, anyone with a brain would say no and anyone with a brain who realised they could lose their livelihood would stay a mile away, but...
One thing though. I can't imagine he's the only player, and I'm not just talking about Wigan, who's been taking things he shouldn't.
Hopefully this will send a message to any other players spending their saturday nights in certain club toliets.'" Good post. It would be very naive for anybody to think he is the only high profile player who has dabbled in social drugs and that is why the rfl need to send out a very strong message. As bad as it will be for Wigan and England they need to start giving out further punishments than just the 2 year ban. Should he be banned from representing his country when he returns to playing? |

I agree, but he's not the only one. Not by a long shot. Like I said you'd be surprised. |

From what I've heard he's not alone, but it isn't contained to Wigan either.

| Quote: Ancient & Loyal "I've just looked on Wikipedia (although not always totally accurate) at the prohibited substance Benzoylecgonine. It says that it is the primary metabolite of cocaine. However it is used as the main pharmaceutical ingredient of a prescription drug, Esterom which is a solution for the relief of muscle pain.
Maybe I'm clutching at straws here, but is it possible that he's slipped up and taken the substance accidentally via a pain relief tablet?'"
There have been cases of this being used as an excuse, but it rarely works (Ian Sibbit being the latest exception, overusing the drug Salbutamo found in asthma inhalers).
Jaap Stam tried it on when he was tested positive for Nandrolone a few years back, stating that traces of it were found in a 'Vicks' style vapour stick he was using to help nasal congestion! |
