There is nothing unprincipled about offering a coach a job and doing so in confidence. if you have facts that prove IL lied then produce them.
If you took the time to find out more about drug procedures you would not need to be so judgemental about Wigan. This is exactly what happens in other sports. Blaming wigan here is a joke.
Obviously now the other thread is locked you seem to be trying to pick an arguement with another poster even one from this board normally i would ignore you but hey what the hell.
Where did i call Lenegan a liar
You were the one who wanted to raise issues about Lenegan being principled. As that it is a matter of judgement rather than facts everyone can make up their own mind . Personally i think that offering a job to some one behind the incumbents back is a bit unprincipled.
maybe sack Noble and then ask for candidates is the principled way of doing it. just my opinion.
As for Drug procedures i well understand them and as far as i am aware it is not normal practice to release details on an indavidual until the B sample has been tested on the grounds that the said indavidual is now condemned before the evidence is verified. Innocent until proven guiltyis usually the basis of justice.
he could have been quietly dropped for a game until the test was carried out or even an unnamed player without releasing A the name or B the drug is usually the way.
I am not blaming Wigan because it may have been leaked by someone else which forced Wigans hand so again no blame just stating that it still appears unusual that it has all happened so quickly.
In respect of Wigan i do accept that they have responded as per the doping rules ( although i disagree with them as i make a differentiation between performance and recreational use of drugs but that is a separate discussion).
No doubt you will carry this on with the usual pattern of your behaviour on these boards, pedantic point scoring, personal abuse and then making a joke of it all before the thread gets closed down because you have derailed it again but at least it will keep you happy.
Notice the little wink for you
