| Quote RUGBY LEAGUE:
Wigan confirm Gareth Hock's B sample has tested positive for Benzoylecgonine'"
I'm blind and couldn't find the old thread as i cant seem to see the search option on the threads. Anyways it appears to be true now. Shame as well as much as I hate him as he if dirty, he is a bloody good player and could have done with him fronting the Aussies

| This whole fiasco has made me angry more than anything.
The lad's got all the talent in the world, kids around the world would kill to be in his position, but he's chucked it all away for a few nights out, utter stupidity.

I fully agree, but what is even more annoying is I think most fans are aware that there are probably a lot more players being equally as stupid and just being lucky so far to avoid being tested and caught.

It's a problem in the game big time in this country, there needs to be more done to clamp down on it.

| Interesting to note aswel that apparently cocaine only stays in your system for a maximum of 36 hours, meaning that he has been using the day before the game in all likelyhood.

Keep an eye out for him serving in McD's in the north west.

| Silly lad. He'll pay the price though, with two years away from the game he loves.
I hope he learns his lesson and comes back clean.

Indeed. That's why i'd bet any money loads more do it. In fact my mate has seen one ex leeds player doing it.. obviousley i'm not saying who it is.
Lets hope if any are this will put fear into them and make them stop. This is why it's important to unfortunatley make an example of Mr Hock.

There are many current SL players who can be seen around Leeds of a weekend and seem to have sinus problems on a weekly basis.

Agreed. Once he's done his 2 years I hope he realises what he's missed out on and comes back mentally stronger for it.
I would imagine Wigan will have no option but to get rid now, I just wonder what will happen with regards to his registration when he's cleared to play.

IIRC if his contract ceases doesn't his registration go along with it, i.e. you can't register a player with whom you don't have a valid playing contract - hence the reason the RFL couldn't object to Harris's registration with the Bulls?
So if Wigan cancel his contract they lose his registration, and he can sign for whoever he likes when he is able to return - much as Ryan Hudson did.

They'll have to get rid. Otherwise they're left with a player on a large salary not playing for 2 years...

That was my thoughts. Given the salary cap I can't see him being retained in any capacity, although like Andy says, that does leave him free to sign up for whoever wants him when he returns.

I wonder whether there would be scope under his contract, employment law and the RFL's rules for Wigan to suspend him without pay for two years while he serves his ban, thereby preserving his registration?

Well he's not available for selection, so I'm sure they could fine him, but that's not getting around any salary cap issues. Thinking about it, despite it being a sensible idea, I can't see it being a starter.

if I were Wigan I'd get rid - after all he's done more harm than good by his 'recreational' lifestyle & I think he now should pay the penalty - 2 years away from the sport may make him realise how stupid he has been - after all look at Hudson - he has really turned his life around since he was found guilty a few years ago Publicity like this isnt needed in our sport (I'll get off my soapbox now )

Some people on the Wigan board are saying he can't work for Wigan in any capacity during any suspension.
