Lastly, Cocaine is a performance enhancer. It has performance enhancing properties including improvements on recovery from fatigue. Yes it has negative effects but it is still a performance enhancing drug.

Straw, clutch, straw.................

no one said that there arent better options for cheating. I simply said it was a performance enhancer and it is despite your protestations.

Easy tiger! Purchase, possess, that sounds libelous to me.

By that definition so is coffee, so is food, so is sleep.

its a performance enhancer. Medical journals state this.

Had kind of a weird feeling when I heard the news earlier, part of me felt really gutted because Hock is one of the few players who I thought actually took pride in the shirt, however now I'm not so sure.

The other feeling was that his name did not come as a surprise because he has always struck me as exactly the kind of idiot who would do stuff like this.

I don't think the club have any option but to terminate his contract, to do otherwise would send out the wrong message to every player within the club and to the game and media as a whole.

As for the rest of the side I have a sneaking suspicion that Hock is not alone in his actions and as advocated earlier would test the lot of em regularly from now until the end of the season.

The club needs to regain its discipline and as such I would go one step further and impose an alcohol ban as well.

He has to prove he will learn a lesson imo to stand any sort of chance of a future here.

He should be made to-

Go on some sort of rehibilitation course

Take regular club tests when/if he does come back

Make some sort of statment apologising to all the people he's let down(granted the lads not a public speaker so let somebody else read it)

Make a promise to keep himself in a good condition so he's ready to make a comeback.

If he can keep to all those aswell as probably a couple more things the club could think of then he should stand a chance of a future within the game at Wigan. I suppose everybody deserves a second chance and if the likes of Feka and Greg Bird can be given them then maybe Hock deserves one aswell(aslong as he sticks to any promises).

Maybe there's a career for him in athletics. Dwain chambers thought he could come to rugby league when they banned him.

He's ugly enough to be a Womans shot putter so you may be onto something

t'others arent illegal though are they soft c*ck

He's a drugs cheat. Simple as

He isn't the first to be caught either. Ryan Hudson got a 2 year ban for failing a drug test. IMO they should be banned from competing in professional sport. This doesnt set a good example to children.

80%







Don't talk utter bollox

Difference is, Hudson took an over the counter tablet from Australia, not an illegal grade A substance

Even the "best" player in the world at the time Andrew Johns later admitted to using drugs. Went down in my estimations after that.

The toilets would look like Mohammed Ali's local laundrette

It would certainly make clubs more likely to weed out and line up any drug takers within its ranks and fire them off. I think Wigan should take a hard line over this matter and test our players off our own backs. Drugs in pro sports is a big no no.

None taken mate.



Hock is replaceable - he's a good player but there is always someone better or will be better in 2years time ie. Mossop/Farrell.

Hock had his chance he half took it, then he thought he was King Ding and blew it all away. IMHO he should be sacked.

So if coke was legal and available over the counter in colombia that would be acceptable

Like it

Thats along the lines i was thinking when i made the original post.

It's interesting how people's reactions throughout RL differ from thier reactions to the St Helens academy player who failed a drugs test for cocaine.

As I said at the time, would the same treatment which he got be given to a top player, and everyones reactions be the same. I've got my answer I think..

I believe that if everyone was tested this weekend for example there would be a lot of players panicking.

We all know the rumours about other players at different clubs as well as just wigan (and I know that is all they are),but why dont the authorities knock it on the head now and set the right example.

I know. I don't see why players do it. I just can't see the logic with such short careers and usually they don't get a life changing amount after it.
