I agree - there should be more tests and more frequent, but it's the cost involved which is the problem. We should be pleased, however, that our sport takes this seriously where the biggest sport in this country appears not to. Yes, we may get more positive tests, but that can only help as time goes on.

Short term cost is a price worth paying and it maybe that we catch more out and bring shame on the sport, but it needs to be done.

The future of the game needs to be cleaned up.

It's also for the benefit of the players. If you create an environment where they are just compelled to say no because of their jobs, then they won't take drugs and will lead better lives for it. We have to remember that a lot of these players are just young lads who will want to go out and enjoy themselves, and often have disposable cash. Anything that helps them say no has to be good for them.

Also, you have to question his mates. If they know that he will be banned if he is caught with the drug in his system, why are they offering it to him. If I saw a lorry driver friend about to have a third pint when he was driving home, the first thing I would say is to think about your job. What kind of mate would I be if I told him to drink up and enjoy the night, which is effectively what his mates did?

It is often highlighted that the cost is prohibitive towards regular drug testing becoming the norm and I wonder how much WADA contribute to the tests, Surely if they are setting these laws then they should provide the sports who sign up to their stance the support to carry their policies through. I don’t know if this already happens but it would be wrong for it to relay on the governing body to finance drugs testing.

Especially if it was your round
