While I agree with most of your post, why don't the Governing body follow a similar stance on GBH or other criminal acts (of which there are plenty).

Well that is my point Peter I think it should not be banned and be left to the individual.

how would the rest of the sporting world behave towards rl if they refused to enforce bans that all other sports enforce?.

Dico you are dead right about the GBH thing but did'nt a Leeds player get 12 months in the nick for it. The thing about health related problems is they can't compare it with alcohol as people who use drugs only go to hospital when they are really in trouble with their problem. Two last questions if you were an employer and you caught an employee drunk at work what would you do? If you were an employer and you caught someone doing coke at work what would you do?

Quite easy Frank Cocaine heroin etc... were made illegal after a multi country meeting on drug controls in the early 1920's (I think it was), and alcohol and tobacco was not on the agenda because at that time the trade in the other drugs was not controlled by multi millionare companies and countries got no tax from, I bet if the same meetings were held now things would be quite different.
All the 'natural' Narcotics have been around for centuries and both heroin and Cocaine were freely available and legal for a long long time in this country.

Some of you are wrongly thinking Im advocating Cocaine use I'm just giving an alternative argument than the 'hang em high' brigade also a lot of you are mixing Cocaine use/abuse with Crack-cocaine use/abuse which is a totally different 'animal' and is highly dangerous and addictive - it is said that Crack-cocaine addiction can be 'caught' by just one try of the substance, and is taken in a very different way than powdered Cocaine.

No but one wonders why they (the rioters) ransacked supermarkets and off licences for alcohol then?

I would think that in Govins case the substance was taken recreationally and not as a performance enhancer and in which case should he be banned or counselled?

Pretty sure not many people wanted Hock counselled more like banned for life!!
One thing that needs to happen his hes needs supporting and not being ignored and left to rot!

But that's not always the case Frank - for instance you have given up smoking now for how many days? Yet I am still suffering from being around you all those years you smoked

Well done you for giving up though and KEEP IT UP mate
