Unless you are willing to provide concrete proof to the local constabulary, I suggest you keep your libellous accusations to yourself. Karen.

Probably to help people alleviate the pain of how terrible and cringeworthy his show is.

As for Minns, clearly he has not learned from Hardaker, Chase and Walker.

Thomas Minns said:

“I want to personally apologise to everyone involved who I have let down and disappointed.

“I admit to taking a banned substance on Mothers’ Day 2018, which was a hugely difficult day for me following the passing of my mother last year.

“I was low and depressed on the day and I felt at the time I needed to do it to get through. I now totally accept that it was huge mistake which could cost me my career.

“I can now only ask for forgiveness and for my arguments of mitigation to be heard and understood.

“I do not wish for sympathy. All I ask is that I am listened to and I can make everyone aware that I did not take this substance to enhance my performance at rugby in anyway.”

I don't buy any of that statement from Minns . He lost his Mother , so he is now saying he took the substance on Mothers day 2018 , this sounds like a sympathy vote to me . I've lost various family members over the years , but I didn't do any snow or weed , whatever he took . I'm guessing snow as its part of society now . He will play the depression card too, no excuses he has been caught , period.

Lets face facts most players will be doing every week , they just take the risk of getting caught .

FFS here we go again. This type of comment came out when Hardaker was exposed for drugs last year. There was a wild accusation then that the mahority of 25-35 year olds regularly took illegal substances. No one could provide any proof of that other then the comment of "well loads of my mates do on a weekend", which spoke volumes of the type of people they knocked about with.

Cocaine has always been around, its not a new thing. Its also been a Class A drug, there for illegal, let alone a banned sporting substance. If people choose to break the law, they have to accept the consequences if caught.

You final comment of "lets face facts" is quite the allegation. Are you stating that you know for fact that most player take illegal substances, or are you just hoping this comment doesn't get seen and you avoid (a) a ban from this forum, which I appreciate is a trivial issue, or (b) avoid further scrutiny for defamation of character for what is essentially a guess and probably an untruth.
