None. All drug tests are confidential and a matter solely between the player and the testing authority. Until and if a guilty verdict is reached there is no obligation for the player to even tell the club. So how such information can be public is interesting. Who told you?
From a personal standpoint, I am a little baffled as to your use of the term "borderline". Its not like a breathalyser, you've either taken something or not. |
You would have thought so wouldnt you? You'd think thats any illegal substances found in a professional sportsman's body would be enough for a ban etc but apparently they are allowed a certain amount of some chemicals in their urine and some players were just over that limit. At the end of the day, taking drugs is taking drugs regardless of how much and how long ago. What is the point of appealing? If you failed, you failed.

The ads work on a "google bot" system and are completely out of our control. The "bot" scans the thread and puts the most suitable add to fit some key words in the thread. Hence in a thread about drugs you get such an ad as you have seen. This is why the normal threads have random ads about hotels and stuff in Bridgend. |

WRU media manager Liz Jones said the tests were carried out by UK Sport, an independent body, but she could not confirm either man had failed.
There are loadsa recreational drugs out there. Do we have any more details of their test results? |

Thanks, WR.
Sad situation altogether. Sign of the times, I guess. Beer isn't enough nowadays.
