Wendall Sailor sacked

[age_master]

He broke the rules and has been punished accordingly. He knoew the rules and definately deserved the ban.

To clarify no he cannot go back and play league.

The ban covers all sports covered within the whole anti-doping association or whatever it's called.

Besides there are no teams who need him even if he could.

Pretty sure Wigan would take him. He'll like NL1.

 

[Goughy]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke. He is probably the athlete I dislike more than any other and this could hardly be a surprise to anyone.

Long time rumours of drugs
Picked up for curb-crawling in Leeds
Arrogant nasty piece of work

Ah. Fair play then. I just remembered that when Dwain Chambers (GB 100m sprinter) got pinged for steroids there was some vague talk of him going to play American Football. Never amounted to anything, but it gave me the impression bans only covered one sport.

Although the cynic in me thinks that, judgeing by the size of the average NFL player, their anti-drugs testing may not be the world's most stringent...

Oh the controversy!

I'm fairly sure baseball isn't much different...

No doubt, but if they didn't test for recreational drugs, no one would be the wiser. I personally I don't think they should, why do they need too?

Because a lot of the substances in recreational drugs are also found in other performance enhancing substances.

Yeah, he's certainly no Ben Johnson, in terms of cheating. And it is unfair, in a sense, that 98% of the population would retain their job in such a situation but Sailor loses his. The flipside to that though is that Union (and other sports) need a squeaky clean image if they're going to prosper in the marketplace. Having your sport associated with such (pretty heavy) drugs can't be good, in that respect. Therefore, you can understand Union ridding itself of him. Personally, I think on account of his arrogance alone, Union is better off without him.

 

[Mr Casson]

When I heard he'd been sacked I didn't know that he'd been in the Big Brother house.

I was reading in the paper, that he could turn up (if he were keen enough to go to South America) and play Union in Paraguay or Boliva, where the sport is very much the minority sport and nobody is really going to notice (or care), and there is no way he could play for them anyway (unless he renounced his Australian citizinship I guess would work).

Or he could go play in the amatuer leagues in America, where it won't matter as such.
