Quote ="Call Me God"Nothing attracts talented administrators like a total restriction on their lifestyle. Cocaine and other such drugs are endemic in society and to unilaterally have testing across anyone earning a wage from RL would prevent the sport from using any outside agencies......and drug testing isn't cheap. So you'd have the staff at the RFL tested say twice a year and limit the number of outside contractors. How would SKY TV like it if we demanded that every rigger and camera man that they use (freelancers) had to be clean? What about sponsors? Do we demand that they have the same rules that we do and demand regular testing? What about the BBC? ......I reckon that the economy of Colombia would collapse if you tested that lot
Morally you're not wrong, but the answer you have for it is totally unworkable.'"
it will always be unworkable as you say,untill someone makes a start.these bans are dished out by UKAD,why the RFL dont impose life bans,i dont know all the details about what happens when ukad attend a game,but i believe they only test one player from each team.so thats two out of a possible 34.yet every season they catch quite a few.so what is the real scale of drug taking ??.the RFL keep claiming to be a FAMILY GAME,but allow thugs, dog abusers,and drug takers into our game.every match has so called fans singing foul and abusive chants,the game is a laughing stock.some players have been caught more than once.LIFE BANS get rid.let them go union.
