In the words of Michael Ward:

"I love it when people spit their dummy out because someone opposes their opinion. It's kind of what this place is for

"

Do the RL clubs monitor their players by doing their own internal random testing?

Or just hope and pray when the officials turn up?

Quote ="Nozzy"Interesting to see that James Lockwood has been given a 2 year ban from RL after being found to be taking growth hormones. He is the 2nd player in a few months from Fev to be banned as Shaun Pick was also banned after taking anabolic steroids. Both of them played against us last year including in the Grand Final. Glad we stuffed them! www1.skysports.com/rugby-league/ ... -two-years'" Oh dear, this post will be haunting you like mad in a few days time, if what I'm hearing is true. (which i hope it isn't btw)

Unless your an official tester then what your hearing is b0llocks

They are still at it on the Fev banter page pmsl

Lets all hope your still PMSL in a few days then

It annoying other teams fans coming on here with rumours , it is facts about the FEV players on this thread not rumours .

Its not true.
Were top of the league and doing well means we must be cheating oh really

At least if we have a few players banned for drugs it might bring us back under the salary cap.

Getting a bit desperate now some of these other teams' fans to make stuff up.

You are letting your disguise come close to being revealed Mr Mookachaka.
Are you hooked on a feeling. Or high on believing?

Given the way rumours spread around here, it was three months ago when the testers came, if true we would have known by now, no one would have keep that quiet for that long

that information is wrong Lynda, they were 'in town' three weeks ago, but anyway those results will not be available to anyone as they are more secret than an MI5 file and will not be available to anyone except the RFL, the Club and any player responsible and any club tends to suspend a player straight off, but i would be surprised if they have been released to anybody as yet knowing how slow these things are.

Hopefully its all rumours, we can't be losing players when we're heading to the middle 8's

They seem to be pretty strong rumours and the Fev player was from a test after a grand final so not as quick as you think.

I didn't believe it at first but not so sure now

That fits in with snippet I read in one of the rugby papers a couple of weeks ago Fred.

So unless one of the testers is a rouge Featherstone Rovers fan that wants to get the sack, it's all a load of rubbish?

There are quite a few people that could let that slip if the RFL, club and player know.

Only takes for example the player to tell another player or his wife and that person to tell another and it can quickly spread.

This thread is getting ridiculous. Reduced to accusing players of failing drug tests and their family and team mates gossiping about it! Think they deserve better than that.

No point speculating on gossip that originated from a rival teams Facebook forum.

Got nothing to worry about then have you

It needs a simple statement imo, something like ''We are aware of certain rumours being spread about the club. All clubs in RL will be visited without notice for the purpose of drug testing players, our turn was 3 weeks ago. The samples take time to analyse and as yet we have not been notified of the results''

The constant accusations on social media are hacking me off and if players have been named and prove to be false they should be dealt with in court.

Don't be pathetic, it wasn't an accusation, it was an example of what could happen and that it would not necessarily be watertight.

Unlike a lot on here I don't have the unwavering belief that Leigh RL can do no wrong for which I will probably get shot down for saying. Everyone makes mistakes including us

The problem is the rumours are saying this relates to last year and not 3 weeks ago so it would not stop them! The Fev player was from November!

Agree Maurice.

Not the ones I've seen

Absolutely spot on, there's no way any of this is anything other than jealous opposition fans, be the same people that are always saying we're breaking the salary cap. A rival club has been done for cheating, we've been randomly tested & what limited imagination they have (which isn't being used to dream up new clubs for Brierley to have signed for this month) has come up with this rubbish. End of.
