[QUOTE="BigTen, post: 69589"] ak47, The real issue is that Sailor broke the terms of his contract. Everyone knows that rugby players get random drug-testing and the players have to make a decision whether they will take the risk of getting caught. If they do get caught they know that they are looking at a big ban with the loss of income that comes with it. If Sailor is guilty, and obviously the B sample will prove this if it is the case, then he has no one else to blame and it will be the end of his rugby career. I don't think that it is a double standard. If my work had drug testing then I would either make a decision to look for another job or not take any drugs. I would know the rules and would accept the punishment if I took drugs and got caught. The writing was on the wall for Sailor some months back and he apparently has not learnt from his mistakes. A disappointing end to a player who showed, at times, that he was a class act. It is a loss to Australian rugby but it is time for the ARFU to cut their losses and start looking at developing their players rather than looking across at league. [/QUOTE]
