For me shouldn’t be a ban at all, its non performance enhancing. Clubs however should put their own disciplines in place, including sacking, for such poor attitude towards their careers, and those same clubs should work together with the same values.

Come on, there's a bunch of clubs (maybe all) that would do f*** all if it was a key player. And it would cut the other way in that they'd use it as a means to get shut of those out of favour.

Cocain maybe very detrimental to your health, but it can definitely be performance enhancing over a short period of time in a physical sport like RL

Hardaker has a 14 month ban.
The precedent is set, why should anyone else get anything longer.

Didn't Adam Walker and Hock get 2 years?

I may well be wrong but I don't think Walker has been offically abnned yet, there's nothing about him on the banned UKAD list

Minns could try the stupidity defence. Hardaker gets 14 months for being upset & thick. Bailey gets acquitted for being too thick to comprehend information. If he plays his cards right, gets a good brief, he could end up with compensation & reinstatement.

Because the England team Dr gave evidence that Hardaker has other issues with regards mental health (that old chestnut) with helped get the ban reduced. Chris brooks is also the Wigan team Dr who are likely to sign him know. corruption from a morally bankrupt club again.
