I wonder if Zak has been taking coke during the past season, just riding his luck, he only had to wait three weeks and the season would be over, he could have hoovered up all he wanted for six weeks, assuming that he wasn't gonna be in the England squad.

My question would be, has he or anyone else ever stopped taking it? isn’t it in and out of the system in the space of about 48hrs? No wonder rumours are rife that so so many in the game are dicing with danger if that happens to be the case.

I would like to ask does the club have a drug testing policy if not why not it just might help the club and it’s staff in the future by adding a extra safe guard for the clubs investments and extra deterent for the staff
Drug testing in the work place is becoming more common so it can be done.

I think someone asked Michael Carter the same question and he wanswered that it was extremely expensive. I suppose if you're testing 28 players every week then you'd either have to purchase the machines to do the task or pay a neutral chemist to do 28 different tests weekly, I can't see either option being cheap.
Ps, just done a simple Google search, the minimum is £30+Vat pp, up to £130+Vat pp dependant on certain criteria. If a positive sample is returned then it can be re tested for £90+Vat pp.
The minimum weekly outlay would be £980.

Not sure how anyone on here would know that, maybe it should be a e-mail asking the club. Although I see your point , I believe it would be very difficult to police .

Basically a petition to RFL requesting leniency for recreational drug users , and saying these players need support and counselling .

I agree with this petition, it's not a rugby issue it's a society issue! There's no gain whatsoever for them, if anything it's negative on performance!

Really, so its nothing to do with who he hangs around with. He has a choice and made the wrong one. I don't believe he has any mental health issues and its probably not the first time he's taken it this season if you ask me.

I could name you 2 others right now that were on it only the weekend before the GF.

No leniency from me, he gets paid a fortune compared with most of us, he knew where the line was drawn and arrogantly crossed it, ban him three years.

Too many Cas fans in Normy at the moment for my liking, the sooner the wheels fall off the better? :)
