The Gleeson affair. Says the rlf were involved in cover up, whole team could have been taking Oxy-Elite. Rule blamed too.

Personally I feel if rlf involved then cover up was for the game not just Hull. Must have been other clubs involved.

One thing is for certain, we have been lucky. We could have been "potentially" in big trouble. RLF also have been tarnished. Bad press for the game.

Ballotelli style "WHY ALWAYS US"

Where's the link?

Got it through a journo on Twitter. Not linked it phone about to die. It's a huge article and bad for the sport and HullFC.

Oh dear, what a sad state of affairs!

i wonder how many other clubs were taking oxy-elite?

it was reported the ukad came back to test hull players the following week and they were negative results

still, puts a bad light on us and the govening body

..and potentially the whole game. They would not just save us, feel this runs deeper.

sadly i agree, unfortunatly the daily mail will revel in a story like this


will be interesting at wednesday nights forum

More skeletons unearthed then in a Time Team special. For the sake of the club and it's fans, I hope this is the last. Got a feeling though that it won't be.

reading the time-line snippet, imo, if cooper had done his job properley and simply checked this product, nobody would have taken it and we wouldnt be going through all this!

Well nobody's going to come out of this smelling of roses.

I honestly don't know why the club and the RFL didn't just tell the truth.

Why did UKAB lift the suspension? Why did the club risk all the players who were possibly taking it by playing them in the next game? Why didn't Cooper check the banned drug list?

I don't know - perhaps there are two sides to every story?

4 or 5 to this one I guess.

true - and can they prove that it was in anyone else's system without them coming forward and saying they took it?
