He's a professional sports person and IS thereore by that nature looked upto by Children, thus he DOES have a social resposibility in staying "clean" playing a family sport more than "Joe Bloggs".
If he chooses to become a bum and take drugs then he can do so outside the sport as other people do and stay out the public eye.

A life ban for any professional sports player dabbling in drugs is justified for me as he's indirectly supporting the drugs industry by buying it thus helping keep the scum that sell this crap on mine and your streets (with the associated problems EVERY town & city now has because of it).

Sorry to be pedantic but it isn't. My Mrs is a copper n everyone who is arrested is for theft crimes is tested n if the test is positive they are not even asked about it let alone cautioned, they are referred to a drugs worker for help which is private and the police not involved.

having lectured in the subject for 8 years I can assure you I am right, what procedures the police take is down to them but it is still possession of a class a substance, the case law is there and in place.

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.

Agreed Nik ,

The lads young and has been doing what all young people do every wekend .

He needs his legs slapped and a 6 month ban and warned about his future conduct .

And as a person that takes your young people home late at night at weekend in all the states they get in,

Look closer to home , you may find your Son / Daughter is a Charley Head

It will surprise you as it surprised me Who under the age of 25 isnt on this crap

in the 60's and 70's the hippies were on acid

then in the late 80's and 90's the ravers were on extacy

now, you'd be surprised how many youngsters are "white liners!"

especially the young girls, wish i had a pound for every stupid girl who says " i do it, cos it keeps me thin"

A great post indicating the bigger issue that some seem to think is bizarrely irrelevant and of no consequence.

Not wishing to defend him or any other players that fall into the Charley trap but I can understand why they do it .

As full time professional athletes they cant go out and get rat ar$ed like we can , so they choose another option to have a good time , be it weed or coke to get off their face .

It just shows how random the drug tests are when an experienced International who knows the risks thinks its worth taking a chance and hope that they dont get caught .

Is it worth it for one nights so called pleasure buzz ?
