It's on the official Wigan site now.

All i can say is what a silly, silly man.

Deary me... Hock was never one of my favourite players, but he clearly has a brain the size of a pea. Two years off coming his way?

2 years minimum..

 

[WireMan]

Just heard, shocking if true which you can only assume it is.

He needs his b sample tested. But he will be given two years. After that he will be let back into the sport but this will put his development back.

Personally i don't know why he gets a ban. Its not performance enhancing or anything. It should be a legal issue if anything.

Still, he knew the rules, and he is a fool to do what he has done.

That's Wigan's season then..

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Always seemed like a brain-dead thug. Got some ability but he's just ensured he'll never live up to his potential.

Well there goes my favourite ESL player...

f**king idiot.

Agree 100% -

Let's assume a player has been arrest for handling stolen goods for example.... would that player be banned from playing if he's given a warning or suspended sentence by the courts?

Don't worry - you can always re-live the "Hock" experience by watching re-runs of Star Trek Deep Space 9.

In that series, Gareth Hock plays the part of security chief Odo.

Maybe they can replace him with his brothers Issac and Mike?

Did we ever hear what the results of the B test was?

 

[roughyedspud]

i'm sure eddie said ,during the 1st half of tonights game, he fail that too...

So why the cloak and dagger stuff? If the results of the B test were also positive then it's a two year ban, simple as.

 

[roughyedspud]

what cloak and dagger stuff?

it still has to go to a hearing..then he'll get his 2 years

Why no official word on the result of the B sample test? Why publicise the fact that the B sample would be tested on 30th June and then silence?

Shame really.

 

[bartman]

Would only be a bigger shame now if he went on the drink and took a dump in a hotel corridor...
