I have been thinking about that for a while... can someone make sens of it?
Case one: C. Mainwearing drug addicted footy player, killed by drug overdose now a role model hero, has a tribute game to his memory every year??????
Case two: B. Cousin: admitted to have a drugs addiction tried and managed to become clean got sacked from his club and was disgraced even he never got caught with substances in his blood!
WTF???

what about andrew john, admits he was party pill head for years but no investigation into everyone else who was out with him.

Wendal Sailor (ok I'm a bad spella) coccain head, wanrne the drug cheat, and somehow people think cycling has a lot of drugs?

Golf is the real unkown.

Whereas Darts players openly sup pints and are often quite pissed by the end of a bout.

They do but being a bit more fitter and better paid they tend to snort coke.
I remember Higgins smoking ciggies and swilling piss when playing a world tournament.

just wondering if they test any professional surfers ?
cycling is trying to clean the sport up, a few other sports just turn a blind eye, or do some basic urine tests, because the blood tests are expensive.
