Ian Lenegan comes across as a principled guy.

The talk was , according to you, a couple of months ago whie the drug test was just over 2 weeks ago.

If Wigan knew there to be a problem they would deal with asap. Not wait til the lad got caught.

He is so principled he offered Stephen Kearney the coaches job behind Nobles back when he was supposedly negotiating with players in Australia.

As there was no link i did not know that the sample had been taken on 2nd of June and assumed wrongly that these things tend to break some months after the test.

As for Wigan dealing with it properely i find it concerning and unfair it has been leaked before his b sample has been tested.

I'm not au fait for the residence times for the metabolytes of cocaine in the human body but it would make sense to me to re-sample the subject asap. Delaying for 7 days seems stupid. Unless that's when the results are due and not the sample being taken of course.

i think they may take 2 at the same time and get a 2nd opinion on the same sample from a different lab or technician

Looks like Gareth Hock will not be coming to the Giants next year then.

the fact that there were rumours around him coming here a couple of months ago makes you wonder whether Wigan were trying to offload him before this broke without telling anyone. If that was the case they were being very , very naughty.

Wigan allowed him to speak to the Giants last time for another off the field incident non drug related. He said though he would get his act together and stop being a prat off the field. Clearly he lied.

If you want to call Lenegan a liar do so. I will certainly forward your comments to the Wigan club.

There is nothing unprincipled about offering a coach a job and doing so in confidence. if you have facts that prove IL lied then produce them.

If you took the time to find out more about drug procedures you would not need to be so judgemental about Wigan. This is exactly what happens in other sports. Blaming wigan here is a joke.

Why is it that people have a wonderful gift and they throw it all away?

From what I have heard he allegedly used to miss training sessions and go AWOL anyway.

A real shame if it's true.
