Absolute rubbish - there are a few but there are in every sport Hock the other week by the way.
In fact I have never seen a sport which is so clean certainlty where running is concerned and this all happens within the proffessional side of the sport.
Even in amature events there are rigorous policies against the use of drugs and the list is endless right down to certain cough mixtures.
The point I was making is that in athletics there is a definite slant towards a good attitude which includes dress codes and performance,
unlike some Super League players which have been mentioned in other posts. These clubs should take a look at how it should be done.
I'm 51, still train hard, coach and compete and have yet to witness one single drug related incident-and I hope I never do.
