Its been going on for years but a blind eye will be turned against top clubs.

Clearly that is not true. Hock was done at Wigan.

As for Walker. What a waste. It was a great opportunity for him at Wakefield.

Little you know then

Ask yourself why saints let him go!
Did he only become a druggie when he came to us ? Come on poppy oldlad keep up.

So he's been on the smash 2 days at most before a game. What a moron. Let himself and team mates down. 2 year ban as it's in season testing.

Should not been on drugs atall ! He's not just let his team mates his club down what about his family who stood by him after the Hull kr incident when he was susspended for you know what.

I can believe a club would try and protect him and dodge the issue but they can't cover up a false test. That is audited independently of the Rugby league.

If you know better then fair enough but that is a big deal.

Glad he's been caught early in his Wakefield career. Don't want him setting a trend.

Clubs know who is taking whaever and some clubs will take a risk if they get caught then its down to player.

Let's not pretend this isn't an issue and hasn't been for a long long time.

The main reason Domic came to Trinity was due to the culture at the club he was at and didn't agree with.

Recreational drugs are and have been a massive issue in our sport for decades.

It seems the RFL have decided to make a stand in recent weeks and a couple of players have been hung out to dry.

Shame the same governing body used to turn a blind eye to it. If they had dealt with the issue before rather than excuse it maybe these kids wouldn't be on the stuff now.

Don't even think you should be banned for it personally. Anyone over the age of 22 has seen a certain Cas full back in a much worse state. It's a problem endemic in society not just rugby players. Unless you sniffed a line an hour before taking the field it is anything but performancing enhancing.

Sack the idiot once confirmed. He has wasted his talent and may appreciate what he had whilst doing a dead end job bored rigid whilst serving a lengthy ban.

As said he has not only let himself down, but his family and the club. He's a moron and so are the others that take Class A drugs. For anyone to suggest that you should not get banned for taking illegal drugs is just plain silly...

The start? I'd say it's been going on for years.

Get rid.

He's not the brightest bloke you going to meet , this year taking cocaine last year chatting to 14 year old girls on snapchat he's going the way of his brother

Does anyone know how long Coke stays in the system? It makes no difference whatsoever but could it be that he took it weeks since or does it suggest he's taken it within days of the game?

I am told generally no longer than 3-4 days, although it can be a bit longer for heavy users of the stuff.

In that case he's been a bigger tool than I thought!

Depends whether urine,blood or hair samples are used. Can be as long as up to 3 months apparently for hair samples but these are not as reliable as urine or blood tests.

This stuff is everywhere these days, go out on a weekend and you will prob see it.

Hair retains it, and can be an indicator of when it was taken.

I remember two Super League players a few years back both turning up with crewcuts when they'd previously been mopheads. I suspected why back then.

Get rid. Idiot. No time for them.

I highly doubt this is the first time he's taken it, I mean, you've got to be "into" it a fair bit to begin to not care or at least be casual about the likely hood of being caught.
We ain't never gonna know how much St Helens know about that, but I suspect they knew something.

Wakefield Trinity and hard drugs are not the kind of headlines we want placed in the same sentence.
Still, the guy has only been with us for a couple of months, but %h1T sticks, its the same crap for Widnes I suppose, at least nobody is surprised, Chase is a train wreck, and to a certain extent Widnes are distanced somewhat from a cultural association with all.

If it ain't performance enhancing then I don't think there should be an automatic ban. It should be on the employer should they want to discipline their staff for misconduct. But then I'd legalise drugs anyway and tax the out of it.

People will take it anyway and there will be a damn sight more than Rangi Chase and Adam Walker in RL who will have it in their systems.

Come and see the low life that's locked up at work that have and are still on drugs, taxing it means nothing to them as they thieve anything or anyone for it.

Sounds a right job yours, they employ drug users then lock them in, strange.
