4 Roosters players reportedly drug tested on Tuesday

[Johnny73]

Where was this fervour over testing when Mitch Ross was rubbing desiccated Buck penis on the Rabbitohs back in 2014. Who knew deer had so much testosterone in them?

When do we find out the results?

Pretty sure we won’t hear the results.

Players are tested all the time but you don’t hear the outcome if they are negative. We will hear the results if positive but not sure how they deal with first offences and reporting.

I guess no news will be good news.

[Vasco]

No, but the snivelling man-child coward is playing the victim claiming he has been trolled by disgruntled fans.

Of course he has.

if a team's on performance enhancing drugs they can get a competitive advantage and it could affect who wins the premiership. if the nrl is going to ban drugs they need to test for those drugs to maintain a level playing field. testing for recreational drugs is more a social issue

Recreational drugs amongst mask the effects of injury and pain. That is performance enhancing also.

Has there been anything further on this?

Will they release the results so the players can stick it up the naysayers if negative?

[Roosterfarian]

Has The Mole (we all know his real name) apologised for pointing the finger at the players? I see he removed the tweet.

Hope they sue that bald fat ugly ****ers ass for all they can. Poor excuse for a journo. Happy to take the cheap shot behind his stupid moniker.

[Rooster_6]

No public apology but he has been posting some promotional material from the club on his Twitter account. I’d say they’ve come to a handshake agreement.

If they were only tested a week later then nothing to worry about, hopefully have short hair as urine sample would have washed away.
Unless they were silly enough to do weed, that stays in the system a lot longer.
so a friend tells me, I don’t touch the stuff.

not really - they'd be more likely to take stuff after the game. not saying they have but fingers crossed. can see where the nrl was coming from but the rlpa was right to complain

So do pain killing injections/needles that players get to remove the pain. Doesn’t that make them performance enhancing drugs by your reasoning?

FWIW I understand what you are trying to say and I also agree recreational drugs have no place in sport.

They don't have a place in sport - in recreation however is where I think some players and regular members of society may use them. Sport has nothing to do with anybody taking cocaine or the like. None of anybody else's business. Few too many judges I think.

Those are medicinal and non addictive when administered correctly. They are also legal. There is a difference.
