Well it sounds like it, taking a steroid will only affect the person taking it (yes its wrong) . Seems beating the crap out of someone on cctv does not carry a ban as it did in the cases you refer to .

Because both of the cases reffered to involved something that would alter the performance of the players in the sport.

answer this HONESTLY would you have been as quick to sack westerman ,also your club tried to sign ben knowing of the assault

didnt get the right punishment though ive seen people jailed for far far less

Not denying that im just saying he went up before a judge who will be experienced in these types of assaults and he passed the sentance he felt the incident warrented. I know Ben did wrong but its not his fault what sentance the judge passes down to him. The problem is with the judicial system in this country

Is this the same Cas that chased Ben's signature during the winter even though he had pleaded guilty?

Yes it is, but this Cas fan did not want him, im all for second chances after your punishment is done, just seems to me - so far hes walking away scott free . If it had been joe public they would be behind bars now .

Wrong, again.

Go and find out for yourself.

So you dont know !

I know that WIH comment isn't strictly true, yes.

You seem to be insinuating that your club did indeed realise what they were dealing with.

If so, then yes, no signing should have taken place and yes, indeed, this whole show of "meetings" and "discussions" is irrelevant.

So ARE you making the assertion that Rovers knew all?
