He's a cheat, the likes of him Hudson and the rest should be banned from our game for life, if union want em, let em have em.
The longer we let these to$$ers remain the longer we will have this problem.
I'm sure these things go on in all our clubs, but like the kid says on the announcements, rugby league is a family sport!! And we don't want drugs in our family!!!!

Problem is that generally those doing the educating know less than those they are trying to educate. It is no use telling kids that all drugs are bad and evil and make you sick/ill or kill you when all around them they see people having a seemingly great and safe time using them.

That is very true, I used to get fed up of all these drug experts coming in telling us stuff we already knew, so if i knew they were going to be there I just did not bother showing up.


Everyone knows that using drugs is not a good thing even if you have not had any education

I was just talking about drugs in general.

Once you have had any sort of drug you will try something people say is more harsh.

No matter how much education you get I don't think it has much affect on wether you take drugs or not

This is just the sort of rubbish that kids are told as fact which is in fact not true.

Not saying that at all. But imo education will not change opinions of most.

When I was at school all these drug experts came in and it still did not prevent people from taking drugs....

says who? i think you'll find there are huge swathes of people who would completely disagree with that statement and who themselves are extremely intelligent and successful. that however is another debate, the point being here that hock is in a position whereby he has an obligation to his employers not to do anything which may impair his performance. using cocaine is likely to have a detrimental effect on his performance, especially if used over a sustained period.
someone called him a cheat which i think is off the mark. i cant see how using cocaine would in anyway make him play better.
