By the time we'd signed him, he'd already been at wakey for 2 years....,so if he was banned it was time served. Hardly ran away from oz, he just couldn't get a gig. You didn't see gallen running away....

it all came to light in august 2014, you signed him in 2014, should have been banned when they were found guilty.

Deary me.

Does anybody remember Aiton's mysterious illness in 2015 tho?

He was out for weeks with no real explanation from coaching staff, I always thought this had summat to do with the drugs ban, whether they weren't playing him whilst investigations were ongoing?

yep

No one cares, you're the only opposition fan rabbiting on about it.

catalan said he served the ban with them he wasnt the only player to of fought it till the end when took the ban. brearley84 should worry about his own clubs history but that wouldnt take to long . lol

No this story is misleading, the drugs were apparently been taken by all Cronulla Sharks players in 2011, so if he did take any he had been off them for 3 years before we signed him. Thats even if they did take them anyway.

The majority of the players,including Gallen, served their '12 month ban' (actually 4 games), in 2014 as the Sharks had nothing to play for anyway, even though all the players denied any wrong doing in the first place

Aiton didn't and (as he was allowed) pleaded not guilty, and apparently they have retroactively banned him, whatever that means?



Of course you could ignore all these facts if you were a fan of a team that managed to finish below us in our worst ever season

Still, at least we know they're clean.



No way have Hudds players ever taken anything remotely performance enhancing. Ever.

Maybe they should.



They might actually win something.

All very cloak-and-dagger stuff at the time.



Nothing to do with the Leeds club though... obviously.



The cloak-and-dagger stuff, that is.

Wasn't Sam Barlow one of theirs initially?
