Please Mods dont ban this t£t the bloke is making me laugh so hard its hurting !

Why? We could do better than that.

good eh?

dya want some more?

No.

Thanks.

ok.
gotta go now do me homework.

cya soon.. ttfn.

I was just about to tell him he should do.

Why bother nothing interesting on the Wire board.

Think he'll go off the rails if club dump him. He's not the brightest button in the box. Imagine Hock having a quiet pint in town mulling over what he's chucked away, large salary, nice house, BMW, respect of 99% of rugby players and supporters world wide, along comes Mr Knobed gives him some mouth and wham Hocks off to Jail on assault charges. Green Vigo es.

bad pun!

stop defending him, he is a drugs cheat.

he's a drug taker not a drug cheat, slight difference

I thought the reason, or one of them anyway, that drugs are banned in sport is because using them is considered cheating?

N F L anyone?

if you were caught with cannabis in your system you would face a 2 year ban.
Tell me how cannabis would 'enhance' any sports persons game giving them an unfair advantage?

hence takers and cheaters being 2 different things

You didnt need to tell any jokes - your username was enough..!

cocaine has some enhancing properties. Granted, it has negative effects on performance too but it also enhances some areas albeit only slightly.

Even as a Wire fan, I feel sorry for Hock. I don't know his family makeup but feel sorry for him. He might have issues that made him take the drug. Lets not all kick the man when he is down. Don't know what Wigan can do to support him with justification for two years but I hope he can be rehabilitated and return to Rugby League. This in itself will have a good impact for the sport as we have not ostracised Hock altogether.
All that taken into account he has acted illegally and he needs to be banned for a period to send out a clear message to other players.

All the best Gareth.

I get the impression you doing your homework is a futile gesture. Steal some money from your Mams purse and buy yourself a bottle of Lambrini and stand outside the local Spar! It's only a matter of time anyway.

lambrinis crap lad. white lightening better.
and its cheaper in asda.
spar my calvin.

didnt know that were you at spar. say hello next time . you down + out .

Time for bobos wee man, you've school in the morn.

Totally agree with you. Equally I'm sure you'll agree that he (Hock) is an idiot, deserves the ban (rules are rules and it sends a stark warning to others) and will hopefully clean his act up.

At Least Hock will finish the season on a HIGH lol !!!!!!!!

AAARRGGHHHAHHAHAHAH! So funny!

We haven't heard that one yet!

ARRHAHAHA!

As a serving soldier, we have a zero tolerance drugs policy and are regularly and randomly tested but the amount failing is considerably higher than it ever used to be, i think this is down to the young people joining up today who have been brought up with drugs readily available in society,

But don’t get me wrong any one taking drugs should be punished, in the army its instant dismissal in most cases and some it’s down to the commanding officers discretion (dependent on what drugs he failed for)

As for drugs in sport, e.g. Hock he is 25 and will still have a career after his ban, but the question i ask myself is cocaine a performance enhancing drug?? My personal opinion is I think not, and does it deserve a 2 year ban?


Please discuss

The drug (or I think its constituents) is on the list of substances that the WADA people set out as prohibited. The RFL like other sports sign up to use that list and the associated penalties, testing regime and so on.

So everybody knows where they stand.

And since they do, why is there any debate to be had about whether it deserves to be treated differently to performance enhancing drugs?

It's on the list, don't take it and you won't get banned. It is very simple.
