I'm not saying there wouldn't be a serious cost implication and I admit I have absolutely no idea as to the logistics of such an operation. However, I would guess that a worst case scenario of losing another couple of England internationals would make Gillette think twice about their sponsorship deal.
All the clubs chair people meet up with Richard Lewis and Nigel Whatsisfatface at least once a year, surely, even in this day and age it's possible to be able to say to the clubs; "Either you sort this problem out or we will with extended testing that you'll have to pay for".
Interestingly I read somewhere on one of the other forums a quote from Hock's brother in law, Kevin Brown that seemed to imply that it was a fairly open secret that Hock had a problem. Fans on other forums seem aware that this is going on, can it really be true that nobody at the clubs know about this and if they do then surely they have a duty of care to their employees.
If that last paragraph breaks the AUP, then apologies GML, please delete it.
