Am I reading it right to suggest that it was all Rule's idea to lie and then the other 2 "grassed him up" afterwards and got lesser bans?

It's not clear if it was his initial idea but it certainly seems like he facilitated and coordinated the false statements etc. What an idiot. He should have sacked Cooper for failing to properly check the supplement and thrown Gleeson on the mercy of the UKDA panel. Worst case would have been a similar length ban for Gleeson.

The irony is that nobody actually set out to break any rules to begin with. I actually feel sorry for Gleeson as he was given incorrect advice - albeit second hand - and didn't think he was doing anything wrong.

He still gave it to Gleeson when it is not his job to do so.

Nothing wrong with taking supplements that don't contain MHA but have a similar effect. In fact, it says in the report that the clubs supplement provider have a similar thing, but Hull didn't have any in stock at the time.

How on earth did some of you believe he had off field medical problems, well suppose he kind of did and now its out in the open.

Its like tv soap at FC over recent years, hard to believe some of the story lines that have come out!

if there was ever a case of starting with a small lie and then realising you had to then keep adding bigger ones to it..

I've read it and my comment isn't daft. One brain dead moron who couldn't be bothered to spend 5 seconds checking the WADA website passes on a banned supplement to his brain dead moron mate who also couldn't be bothered to spend 5 seconds checking the WADA website, all under the watch of a third brain dead moron who couldn't be bothered to spend 5 seconds checking the WADA website (or decided he would ignore what it says).

Long DID do something wrong - he was using a banned substance which he hadn't checked out, then gave it to his mate which has resulted in him losing his job.

Feel very sorry for Glees though - clearly not the brightest and it's cost him throughout his career.

He could still have mental health issues alongside this debacle. Or this debacle could have brought on his stress related problems.

Kosh if thing had be done properly the ban just might not have happened and told UKDA that the man had a problem with his weight ..Somebody should have known
