Don't get why some of you are moaning TS has let Penny go on loan sold Gleeson and released Reardon bringing someone in who can play in that area is the right thing to do, how many times over the last few seasons have we fell short because of injuries to the squad we couldn't cope with.

the same Linford Christie who had stopped running competitive races and was tested on an invitational to 'up the card' with over 100 times the legal limit when he'd announced well before that race that he'd retired. Not exactly subtle drug use.
They didn't strip him of his medals so that says something .
