More like Waster.

Why do they still chance it knowing what will happen if they get caught....

Money
Fame
Sycophantic halfwits around town
Its usually stuff like that makes sports stars think they are invincible.
I don't think that it is exactly a shock to people that a top RL player has been caught, just that it has taken this long.
Tip of the iceberg I reckon.

Rumours have dogged Hock for a long time.....looks like chickens have finally come home to roost!!

Will be at Fax in 2 years.

ahem......durbin

Durbin as well? Thats good news.

doh

All should be banned from the sport for life. No second chance. Its the only way you get anywhere near stopping the cheats.

Gareth Hock's favourite rock song of all time is Motorhead's 'White Line Fever' now we know why !

Had to change his name years ago as he was and obviously still is a loone of the highest order, it begs the question in todays society how many other players are powdering their noses at regular intervals?!

and some others at the club at the time too, allegedly

all the others were let go to other clubs,except him

Must have had a good dealer.......

Should be a lifetime ban,and before anyone shouts DURBIN,he should have been banned for life too.these players know the penalty for drug use but continue to set a bad example to the youngsters watching the game.Bring back hanging.

How stupid ,very good player .

didnt he get a lifetime ban as a amateur player and they found a loophole so that he could play again

Something like that from what i hear the whole family arn't wired up right!

Why should it be a life ban when it isnt a performance enhancing drug?? a big fine yes, it doesnt make him a better or worse player. How is he a cheat lol?? and before everyone starts yeah its not good and im not saying no penalty but banned from the game is too far

Well said, its not as if he's taking anything to improve his game. And before the "Well he's a role model" crowd pipe up - no he isn't, any more than anyone else in employment is. His job is playing rugby, not teaching right from wrong.

someone who has their head screwed on lol

Unfortunately Scooter Nick he knows the rules as does every other RL player,i know the list is substantial,but it sounds like Columbian marching powder to me! if it is true what a waste and ALE is enough for most of us!

ale might have been enough for him also, who is to say he wasnt spiked??

yeah but i still dont understand why people are calling him a cheat??? people act like it anything to do with them its nothing to do with anyone but gareth hock i dont understand how you can get the same lenght ban for coke as you can for steroids absoulutly pathetic

I think if you do your research, you'll find cocaine can be used as performance enhancing either as an entity or as a by product. Also gives totally the wrong message to young speccies....ban them for life.
