just watched superleague super stars with Martin Glesson, it was good viewing but very hard to watch at times to see he didnt receive the help and support from RFL after goin through the mill with the failed drugs test while at FC. Sad to see a bloke who loves to play the game at such a low eb that he felt he had to lock himself away from the world, but he looks alot leaner and fitter just sad that he never got the opportunity to show what could really do at FC.

Did Hull FC ever receive a fine/penalty for providing players with banned substances?

Didn't the conditioning coach get banned from the game, I understood it was all down to him

No, because they didn't. HTH.

I think a few people got some form of fine/ban im sure james rule was one of them

There a difference between stupidly not checking a substance and then lying about it and actively providing the substance, which was what BDC was saying.

Feel sorry for him for his treatment at Hull, he was one of several taking the banned supplement, but just the unlucky one who got caught...and then the club make a complete disaster by lying and covering it all up.

he was getting fitter and fitter as the weeks went by, and would probably be our starting centre now if it haden't happened.

Very talented player - nightmare situation at Hull pretty embarrassing episode for Hull FC. Just shows you're only as good as the personnel purportedly 'in charge' at the club.

Didn't James Fool get into bother too?

all three copped a ban

ben cooper (Now at castleford i think )
james rule ( now at widnes vikings )
marin gleeson (now at salford city reds)

yeah for trying to cover it up
