would be a real shame IF proven, could be the end of his career.

Has this been confirmed anywhere? If true then (again I'm clutching at straws) there is more of a possibility of it being present in a medicine.

Theres always something to put the boot in our season , i hope the rest of the squad pull together have a nice week off and then do the business at saints

Would it really effect us much??

He has been a wakey player a matter of months and has played around 20 mins of rugby.

Does it normally take this long for results of a drugs test to be known? Just wondering why he wasn't suspended sooner if he failed it in November?

He was tested during pre-season according to sky sports.

Was is Newton who sued a TV Mag or something like that, that mistakenly printed he'd failed a drug test previously?

Yep, there's a link on the Bradford forum. Typical.

it takes about 3 months for the 2nd test and proceedings to start ...

wakey player so inocennt until proven guilty in my eyes and ill give terry my full backing until otherwise

Agreed, full facts first and all that.

Recreational or performance - if its banned its banned.
Hock got 2 years for cocaine.

If it's something that's possibly happened what he was at Bradford let's hope it doesn't involve the other two ex bulls.

Problem is, as the second one takes so long, we are a player down until he is proved innocent or guity.
He can't play but we can't make a decision to recruit elsewhere.

So the anti-doping agency (or whatever they're called) don't suspend anyone until then? I can kinda understand why, innocent until proven guilty and all that, but it doesn't make the club look good when it says he failed a drugs test in November and he's played since then.

I really hope for his sake it is something he's taken unknowingly in cough medicine or something, otherwise he's just unbelievably stupid. Either way I don't want to see him play for Wakey again.

Any ideas how long it takes for results of the 2nd test?
