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 poop 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.

Referring to the taxation of drugs and the extremes what they will do to get them Regarding Walker he must be as thick as a submarine door to throw away the job that he had, not only that but keeping young lads out who I'm sure would do a better job than 3 games played and 2 years out.

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.

Yeah this is true. I used to send lads for Drugs and alcohol tests in my former job. Cocaine is usually up to 2 days in the blood but as Slugger rightly says. Your hair is like a tree, you can read it like a timeline. Remember when Britney Spears walked into the hairdressers and shaved her hair off and everybody thought she had gone loopy? She was in a custody battle and had to provide samples to be analysed for drugs. Not so loopy after all but the media bought it.

On the subject in hand. Walker is an idiot. I have seen many rugby players doing it. I have even walked in on Gareth Hock doing it in the toilets with 2 of his mates before he got caught. I think the RFL need to take a hard line on this now. Automatic 5 year ban. No excuses.

The thing is if you dye your hair they can't test it for drugs which could account for all the players dying there hair blond throughout the season under the guise of some sort of bonding excuse

To be honest i have no idea at all whether hair dye would mess the test up, however what i will say is that sometimes Wigan players turn out with blonde hair, although there is no conspiracy involved in that one i am afraid. Quite amusingly, that is Shaun Wane's punishment for being late for training.

The whole drug culture stinks throughout society, not just amongst sports people. I believe in hardline punishment for ALL offenders. What I can't understand is why the NHS and suchlike terat smokers with such disdain, and alcoholics a little less so, yet they bend over backwards to help drug addicts.

Re: Adam Walker : Sun Aug 06, 2017 4:55 am  

It's been a problem for years I'd like to know if other teams been randomly tested. A unamed group of players from a certain club in Spain had bags of the stuff. U can't tell me sandow was playing clean all last year . Rubbish just not been tested. Walkers a idiot but they must test more teams and not just this game as the scapegoat.
