That's sooo 2011. They may as well close the book for 2012!

Red Bull is a caffine hit & depending on the ammount of caffine in your blood stream could find you disqualified in athletics (caffine helps break up lactic acid that builds up with exorcise) I dont know if that applies to all sports.

Another thing that I have seen today in the press is Hudgell quoted as saying it is a disgrace? as a rovers fan I wish he would keep his mouth shut on things that have no bearing on our club as it only looks petty & stirs up people, best to let it be.

Agree, aside from point scoring and calling your club.

Can you imagine him going to the RFL, driven by someone in a fish wagon "Mr RFL can you look at FC they are all naughty"

Mr RFL responds "well Neil, hows that golf stand? is it true you cant host an SL game?"

Doesn't the fact that an R.F.L. employee emailed UKAD on June 4th to ask for Gleeson's suspension be lifted so he could against Hull KR the following day have a bearing on Hudgell's club?

I just think it looks more dignified to say nothing keep quiet then when we need to say somthing important to our club people take more notice. It did not impact on our club & in my opinion we would look a lot better if we had kept out of it.

Well said.

There's been an enquiry. The bans have been issued. Everything else just seems like gossip at the moment, and until there is substantiated evidence, to throw an opinion out their like "it's a disgrace" is only going make people think what you have said (petty and Edit-AS stirring).

The only thing that is a disgrace is the misleading media reports that are comparing what was taken to something like steroids when, like you say, is more just a caffeine-like hit that, had it been taken a few hours earlier, would have been fine. For sections of the media to call Gleeson a "drugs cheat" is completely uncalled for and is intended for the reader to take completely out of context for the sake of sensationalism. "Drugs screw-up" would have been more accurate. "The whole team were taking it" also is another attempt at sensationalism if it is true you can take it up to 12 hours before competition. If they are, then they could very well be doing it legally.

Where is this "disgrace" report/quote? Can't say I've heard or seen it tbh.

Read a report on the bbc site which read more like Hudge trying to stir trouble towards the old regime @ Hull. Given his/their reported disagreements in the past can't say I blame him, but perhaps letting old bygones be bygones - would be a better option.

Grazie

TBF - I believe he's just trying to get the non existent dogs to pick up Ms Hetherington's stench in this matter. Perhaps he could've left it alone but in truth it would be nice to know if the saga passed up to Kath's desk. Still, not really our place to stick our orr in and I doubt any inquiry would really make any difference to what has already been put into the public domain in any event.

Exactly. It's like telling your ex-girlfriend that you cheated on that her new boyfriend isn't very nice and shed be better off without him. He might not be, and she might be better off without him, but you're not in a position to comment! You just sit back and keep it shut!
