The thing is this isn't the RFL this is a national doping agency and as the report states the RFL might be appealing against this decision. |

| Quote Blueboy="Blueboy"Would've thought thats a guarenteed. These things only come out once the players are caught, e.g Hock and andrew johns.
Plus the Rugby league only test urine, not blood, this allows player to take growth hormone as opposed to steroids as it doesn't show up. One SL player i know quite well says he suspects the use of growth hormone in the game is rife aswell as recreational drugs.
If Gaskells ban starts now I suppose it doesn't really matter, still a poor decision though.'"
I am led to believe HGH is very very hard to detect in blood anyway as well as being a very expensive test. It also has to be specifically tested for. I don't recall any sports person being done for HGH ? As far as I am aware you need a standard sample from the person being tested to compare raised levels against - Problem is getting this 'standard sample'.
I for one thing the whole banning of Gaskell is a joke and would be more than happy signing an online petition if it was set up. |

Liam Fox has set up a group on Facebook called Dean Gaskell is innocent and it already has over 100 members. |

I'm not sure how hard growth hormone is to detect but the player I know believes it is mainly down to cost and the fact that the RL could be fairly embarrased by the number of players that would test positive.
Take your point about it being difficult to get the standard sample, could probably go into most gyms though and find somebody who would admit to taking it and give you the sample. |

You would need the standard sample from the person to be tested as everybody has differing HGH levels in their body - that is another reason why it is so hard to detect |

The RL will probably never test for it anyway just for the cost of it. Would be good to know which players are on or have taken steroids or growth hormone, because no amount of creatine, protein, proper diet and training hard will get you as big as a lot of the players! |

I agree that salbutamol can be classed as performance enhancing, and as such needs some sort of regulation around it. However, I think this is a ridiculous ruling and feel very sorry for Dean as he will have to live with the history of a drugs ban on his record. I wouldn't know how to re-vamp the rules, but something needs to be done. It is simply not worth risking an asthma attack.
