Would suggest IF this is true, then the actual act of drug taking happaned before he began his Wakey contract.

At worst that will free up a fair bit of salary cap....and still leave us with Obst, Latu and Davey.

Obviously would have to involve us at this time of greatest success and public awareness.
Am happy with Obst and Latu, and agree with the salary cap comment

Can't really say that would be a right or wrong assumption, could be something he has taken that stays in the system for months in which case you maybe right, or he may have taken it in November whilst pre season training with us. Either way he was under contract by us at this time. Obviously no one knows what has been found in his system at this moment in time, hope to God its something he has unwittingly taken in a cough medicine or something daft like that but its very rare that's the case. We'll have to wait until the results of the second test are revealed (if they aren't already). As the thread says he has provisionally been suspended so it may noy be a clear cut case or that may be me clutching at straws!
