Just don't send them to Colombia....
Jesting apart, yes, the club should exchange the shirts. |

| Quote ="andy hound dog"Long shot but not daft....don't shoot me down!
IF the sample B test comes up positive and he is banned - would it perhaps be a hugely kind and politically correct move by the club to offer replacement shirts for kids who have been bought shirts with his name on them?
He was seen and promoted as a role model and as so, his club also have a social responsibility.
Would it be worth the club ofering this option as a good will gesture. I know a couple of people who's kids have his name on them who couldn't afford to fork out again, even if it is to spare the kids feelings.
Other clubs haven't done this, but with Gaz being as many papers have already pointed out, the biggest name to be involved in this type of thing and Wigan surley not wanting fans to be penalised...would it be worth a ground breaking gesture of support?
Opinions?
 '"
If I am not mistaken B sample is half of the original sample. A sample is taken and divided in two. |

How is sending shirts with the name of a drugs cheat* on the back to orphans - good publicity?
*if he's found guilty |

Bit of an overreaction these types of comment no? Its not like he has murdered/raped/molested anybody. Just had a bit of naughty chalk - hardly worth disposing of perfectly good kit - when there are many needy people who could do with it. |

well remove the bit with the name on and recycle the rest.
no way should the club be allowing kids to wear shirts bearing the name of an "alleged" drug cheat (if found guilty)
and i think this thread is all speculation and hypothetical. It would have been better to discuss this after the verdict.
it is a good point to raise though, and im wondering how many people with hock shirts will still wear them , even before the verdict.
anyone on here got one? |

I am in no way defending Hock, but how exactly is he a "drugs cheat", it isn't performance enhancing. |

Charming. Dump your rubbish on those that have nowt.
Nice idea, but even Malawi's remaining orphans who Madonna didn't want, won't want to wear Wigan shirts! |

It would be more embarrassing having Riddell on the back of your shirt. |
