How do you know that the clubs and coaches were well aware of the drug taking cultures within their teams?

How do you know that the medical staff and dietitians advise the players of cleansing their systems of performance enhancing drugs, or recreational drugs?

How do you know that the RFL know about this?

What have you done with the information you have?

Obviously, no names, clubs etc.

no I'm suggesting that more and more testing for more and more substances and lumping recreational drug use is the same as a sustained and deliberate attempt to cheat are the same is a niave and counter-productive outlook!

To pretend what hock has done is the same as what dwain chambers did is silly, similarly lumping a player taking the wrong cough medicine or pretending that something like benalyn is the same as hgh is silly

What hock did wasn't an attempt cheat, nobody sensible thinks it was, punishing him as if it was helps noone if we want drugs out of sport, let's be intelligent about it,

I am indeed, I'm very let's not punish people who have a medical problem and ver pro giving themthe help they need to recover!

I also couldn't care less what rl players do in their spare time, I pay to watch them play rl not to pander to some peoples (generally hypocritical) moral compass

All I hope for hock is he gets the help he clearly needed, any punishment is pointless moralizing
