Sale Sharks' Jake Pope banned

[Jimmy Skitz]

Breaking news on Sky Sports News, banned for 6 months for second drugs violation, had already been banned and will be back in June

[CitizenSmiff]

First player ever to get busted twice for recreational drugs and he's only 21. The club are standing by him so they must see some potential.

Second conviction and only a 6 month ban.
2 years would have been more appropriate.

[Scott1]

2 years?! Should be a life ban! Rugby isn't a tickling contest.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/47868613 a second failure for Cocaine also traces of cannabis

[Scott1]

I apologize,I thought it was performance enhancers.

[voice of the crumbie]

Complete joke when you consider Matt Stevens was banned for 2 years for using cocaine.

[Jimmy Skitz]

I apologize,I thought it was performance enhancers.

in some sports cocaine is considered a performance enhancer

personally I am of the belief Cannabis should be legal so anyone caught using that I would be happy just just see them fined

Yes they do,why I don't know! Youre asking for a heart attack if you played a rugby match while on cocaine. Agree about cannabis,far safer than nicotine or alcohol.

mainly combat sports I believe because of the effects Cocaine has on the user
