Drug Testing

Post by gpartin »

How often do teams get drug tested please? Just out of interest.

Or you can forget you've been asked to do the test and just go shopping!

Lee Briers and Ben Harrison were both tested after yesterdays game. Tony Smith was not impressed as it meant they were unable to go back to the dressing room to share the celebrations with the rest of the team.

Just read it on news... it's tough isnt it... no exceptions we have drug testers for a reason. It was a game of rugby so why should the CC final be any different?

They would be better off testing bank balances...

If you read the Radlinski book he does talk about it taking 4 to 5 hours, which seems harsh especially after a CC win, how much would we hate it if Pat and Sam get tested after we lift the trophy at Old Trafford? :D :D

But to play Devil's Advocate we want to stamp out the use of illegal drugs in the game and therefore isn't the Lance Todd winner the obvious candidate for a test?

Not on this occasion. IMO, tests should have been carried out on the people who awarded him the trophy! :o
