Times must be hard up your way if you're reduced to reading chip paper.

Interesting 'article' this from dunneman. I've heard of a number of similar stories regarding national league clubs from very good sources.



Also baffled as to why he would make this up? doubt he would get any payment for such a outburst.

Well said. If they got told when they are coming, why have so many got caught for performance enhancers? Oh, sorry, they only take them when their 'personal trainers' recommend them, without checking. No player would ever knowingly take something, of course!

The problem with hock is that he probably thought that he could have multiple doses over a few days and it would be out of his system 24-48 hours later when it isn't the case with multiple doses due to the stimulants half life.

I heard a rumour about an international player with a massive cocaine problem,

as for over the counter stimulants/pain relief drugs, its ridiculous how many you will see in any dressing room before a game...pills mainly painkillers, caffeine (even ephiedrine) are used to such an extent one player will suffer one day from an overdose

I believe he is talking about his time at Halifax!!

Was Martin Pearson there at the time?

Just google pro-hormones, these are basically designer steroids many end up banned in the end

I am far from an expert on this - but somewhere in my addled memory I seem to recall hearing that some types of pro-hormones were virtually, if not completely, undetectable? Something to do with the way they convert into natural chemicals? Or something?

Aye, likely story... I bet you're juiced up to the eyeballs aren't you!
