| Another idiot with too much money and time on his hands.
Quote Hull KR have been rocked by the news centre Thomas Minns has failed a drugs test, the Mail can exclusively reveal.
The 23-year-old has been placed on leave by the club pending the outcome of a UK anti-doping (UKAD) investigation.
Minns, who the Mail understands will plead guilty to the offence, is facing a suspension from the sport of two years.'"

| Sounds like he's had a tough time, but has clearly made some bad decisions to deal with his issues.
But whilst I'm all for personal responsibility, we seem to be hearing these stories with a worrying and increasing regularity. I do wonder how many more stories we have to see before the clubs or the governing body grasp the nettle and addresses why a disproportionately high number of players in this sport seem to be turning to recreational substances when compared to other sports.
We used to hear a lot about the State of Mind campaign, and yet it seems to have disappeared without a trace?

Probably to help people alleviate the pain of how terrible and cringeworthy his show is.
As for Minns, clearly he has not learned from Hardaker, Chase and Walker.

“I want to personally apologise to everyone involved who I have let down and disappointed.
“I admit to taking a banned substance on Mothers’ Day 2018, which was a hugely difficult day for me following the passing of my mother last year.
“I was low and depressed on the day and I felt at the time I needed to do it to get through. I now totally accept that it was huge mistake which could cost me my career.
“I can now only ask for forgiveness and for my arguments of mitigation to be heard and understood.
“I do not wish for sympathy. All I ask is that I am listened to and I can make everyone aware that I did not take this substance to enhance my performance at rugby in anyway.”
I don't buy any of that statement from Minns . He lost his Mother , so he is now saying he took the substance on Mothers day 2018 , this sounds like a sympathy vote to me . I've lost various family members over the years , but I didn't do any snow or weed , whatever he took . I'm guessing snow as its part of society now . He will play the depression card too, no excuses he has been caught , period.
Lets face facts most players will be doing every week , they just take the risk of getting caught .

FFS here we go again. This type of comment came out when Hardaker was exposed for drugs last year. There was a wild accusation then that the mahority of 25-35 year olds regularly took illegal substances. No one could provide any proof of that other then the comment of "well loads of my mates do on a weekend", which spoke volumes of the type of people they knocked about with.
Cocaine has always been around, its not a new thing. Its also been a Class A drug, there for illegal, let alone a banned sporting substance. If people choose to break the law, they have to accept the consequences if caught.
You final comment of "lets face facts" is quite the allegation. Are you stating that you know for fact that most player take illegal substances, or are you just hoping this comment doesn't get seen and you avoid (a) a ban from this forum, which I appreciate is a trivial issue, or (b) avoid further scrutiny for defamation of character for what is essentially a guess and probably an untruth.

The important word is highlighted - he regrets it *now,* because he was caught, which is almost always the case.
I make no judgement of recreational drug use - but for those people in a profession in which it is prohibited, they have a responsibility to either not do it, or take steps to make sure they don't get caught, which isn't actually that difficult. So he's just another in the growing list of idiots who has probably chucked his career down the crapper.

Only speaking from personal experiences, I have been down the avenues in Hull with players from both clubs in previous years and its amazing how many big athletes can fit into a toilet cubicle. Now it may be a elaborate game of human jenga, however I very much doubt it. No accusations, just telling you what I saw and applying common sense.

| I know its a different sport but I seem to recall Jake Livermore, a Hull City player in the premier league at the time, failed a similar drugs test under similar circumstances. He said the death of his new born baby affected him to the point of taking drugs, he wasn't banned rather pardoned (or given special dispensation) by the FA due to his circumstances.
I only bring it up as when others have been caught they just hold their hands up and don't make excuses where as Minns is citing the death of his Mother in all this. Not condoning or trying to justify his actions at all but wonder if he be looked at and treated differently to Hardaker (though still don't know the outcome of his failed drug test) though you would have thought with such a high profile player getting caught and the reaction following that players would maybe take a look at themselves and think twice but guess not.

| So he did cocaine on Mothers Day, yet was caught after the Huddersfield game 4/5 days later. To me, that means he did a hell of a lot of the stuff for it to remain in his system, or he is a regular user

Not really . It depends on how cut the snow is and how much he allegedly did . It can stay in your system for 3 days to a week
Also depends how they tested it for a start ,if it was a blood test it can be 2-4 days . Urine test again it depends on the cut , from 2-4 days to about 10 days. The most stringent testing would be the hair as snow concentrations in the hair are there for months after you have used it .
