Because unlike Hock alot of the other players doing the same don't just have sawdust blowing about in their skulls!

Hock is a moron and has got whats coming to him but he's not the only player doing this(far from it) and it's a problem for the whole game.

I know to some it'll be a laugh because it's a Wigan player but nobody should really find this funny......................it's fooking embarrasing for everybody concerned with Rugby League.

ahahahaahaha nice find!

As Ive said on the VT, I know of another instance of a player openly takiing it and being witnessed by various members of cherry&white

Good god. People do some silly things in life, don't they.

We'll say things like "what others would do to be in his shoes" etc, but at the end of the day twenty something rugby players are prone to doing some pretty silly things with themselves - drugs, spit roasting, D and D, assault the list goes on.

I'm sure when he's 40, he'll kick himself, but as Rod said "I wish that I knew what I know now, when I was younger."

Scrum-cap sales about to plummet.....

It's sad isn't it.

Even taking the glory(well even at Wigan he gets abit) away and the fact that it's such a dream job you've got the fact that a lad like Hock who's thick as a barndoor is earning something in the region of 120-150k a year which is an unbelievable wage for anybody.

He should feel honoured and privaliged that he's got such an amazing career that people would do for free but the guys that thick he doesn't realise it and has thrown it all away!

Get him in that dragon boa, he will make it zoom along.

I doub't think many would disagree with that. Of course people are going to make jokes about it and have a laugh but most would agree that is is bad for the game on the whole and the players who take the risk are stupid for not only risking their own careers but also for risking bad press for the game.

It was a genuine question. People are claiming it's rife but only the odd one gets caught. The two things don't go together to me. Are the tests fiddled? If so then why werent they fiddled for Hock?
No, either loads of players are not into it, or something is being fiddled somewhere.

I'm asking.

Very true, fingers xssed we are ok!!!

Just google "how to evade a drugs test"
evidently hock didn't
basically its really easy and a google search shows up companies who will sell compounds that will mask cocaine.

Well, well, you learn something new everyday. This Hock chap was stupid in more ways than one then.

Like you did with Pryce I assume...

Why?

Is Wilkin retiring?

Perhaps he was stupid enough to believe a google add

Shhhhh thats our 2010 scandal , were stickign to "mans head put into bin" scandals for 2009

its been a while since our last salary cap scandal?

Really?

What a muppet !!!

If he's proved guilty by his B test I'm sure he will get a mandatory 2 year ban and I would expect Wigan to sack him. Maybe in 2 years time they may consider taking him back ...

snow white..

Thats 2011 season, keep up will you

You are absolutely correct. There will be the inevitable ribbing and we both know if the boot was on the other foot it would be no different. It is quite sad for our game.

No doubt it will be big news, the only time it ever is for our sport.

The guy is a cock. I mean why would you risk everything ?

What a stupid man.

Yep deffo, got it from a very reliable source
