Not now he's admitted that they were self administered.

No amount of straw clutching by you lot about Cunningham will change the fact that Newton is a drugs cheat.

Can't see anyone saying he isn't. We just think it's a bit lame of you lot really and a tad hypocritical. Nowt knew there though is there??

Show me one post where anyone is saying newton isnt a cheat.

However its a bit rich coming from some saints fans saying about drugs cheats, one of your 'legends' has been caught red handed, and got lucky!

Now, I use loopholes all day at work, i dont winge when someone does it to me though!

Isn't HGH a different substance than steroids and used to loose weight and lean up your muscle tone?

If Newton had been given it by his club trainer and told it was ok then I'd have every sympathy with him.

But he didn't, so the two situations aren't really comparable. It's comparable to the young lad that got caught last year and was sacked.

You're just being defensive

No I'm not. There are other ways to cheat apart from taking drugs!!

Can be no sympathy for Newton.

Stupid way to end a career.

Breaking news on ssn wakey cancel terry newtons contract with immediate effect thoughts?

They've saved themselves paying another months wages before he was banned by WADA/RFL.

Yeah, how will Terry Newton earn a living for the next two years is one thought.

He doesn't seem the sharpest tool in the box, does he?

He's taken over/bought (not sure which) the Ben Johnson at Marus Bridge.

He's over taken Ben Johnson!











Bloody Hell, What drugs has he beenn taking then!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is deffo one for irony corner!

If he was a few years younger they would have "supported him through this difficult time"?

It's easy to be tough on drug cheats when you know they will be finished when their ban is up.

Saints could have sacked KFC, Wigan could have sacked Hock and perhaps that is what should have happened in both cases but I know there would be an outcry on here if Wigan sacked Hock and that Wakefield wouldn't bat an eye at signing him if he were available come June 2011.

I am afraid I am a bit cynical when it comes to how all clubs, Wigan included, act when it comes to drug cheats.

Dave

nowt but a thug on the rugby field good shuttance to him

Did they not??

Doubt very much they will be paying him for not playing for the next 2 years!!

He will probably end up working the doors with all the other knuckle draggers.

The only statements that have been made about Hock's future (if he has one) by the club are that the club will issue a statement on his future (if he has one).

I know they are not paying him but that isn't the same as sacking him in the sense the club makes a public statement washing their hands of him for good.

Nothing as specific has been said and there have been rumours flying around he has been offered a five year deal when he returns to playing. There has been a lot of speculation as to just what his future is with Wigan.

[url=http://www.ukad.org.uk/news/newton-gets-two-years-for-world-first-hgh-findingInteresting - Newton is the first sportsman in the world to has tested positive for hGh[/url

Because he's admitted his guilt straight away they've backdated his 2 year ban to the date of the test, so he can start playing again on 24 Nov next year.

I can't see him coming back and certainly not in SL.

how can u all slate terry like that
i no he has made a terrible mistake
but wht the press arnt telling us is that
he took 1 pill that he shouldnt have
just 1 pill and it was to help him with his broken jaw
and it wasnt even in season or pre season
i no its still wrong but
all the slating on ere is doing my head in
every one makes mistakes in there lifes
and i for one will still stand by terry
and im still proud of what he has acheived in his long carear
good luck terry lad you still have 1 life long fan mate
and i dont care who thinks im daft for that
terry is not a constant drug user he made 1 mistake
how many people on here slating him are or have used drugs themselves
not saying everyone dose but i bet some of you have

sup3rloyal
how do you know what amount of tablets Terry took or how often? .he knew when he took it that if he was caught he would face the ban.
his one saving grace in my opinion is that he admitted what he did and has not waited for the second test to be done before he recieved his ban.

Mate - You're making yourself sound ridiculous.

I have used both tobacco and alcohol in the past - Both of which are deemed to be "drugs".

However, I've also used Vicks Sinus Spray which is completely LEGAL, but is a banned substance for an athlete.

Terry has been an idiot, pure and simple.

He had a good career, and has just blown the (most likely) final 2 years of earning VERY good money to do what most fans would give their right arms to have the talent to do.

I for one am glad that he's been caught, as it sends the right message to the whole sport - DON'T DO IT OR YOU *WILL* BE CAUGHT.

He's the first in the world, and hopefully he'll be the last.
However, if they caught 50% of all players in RL taking "stuff" and banned them, then good - It will clean up our sport.

I'd rather have a sport full of clean young players than have even one that takes *anything* to cheat the system.

And as to him owning/running the Ben Johnson - If that isn't a joke then it has to be the most ironic purchase made in a long time.

Pie Eued ..he does own the ben with his father in law i believe.
Also sup3r Terry was caught during pre season training. it shouldnt and doesnt matter when he was taking the illegal drug .players are tested ALL year round, And rightly so.

i no cause terry is a good friend of mine and i have known terry since he was 8yrs old we grew up together and i no all his family and i have speak to them nearly every day
look im not saying wht he did was right i no its wrong
im just saying its no where near as bad as a lot of other people he didnt sniff coke or smoke drugs like other people have
and i dont no how not to defend a mate is all im saying
