When I played rugby, I got injured early one season in a friendly pre AIL (for once my blistering pace hadnât escaped the entire defence). I was on the sideline getting attention when a doctor/physio/coach from the other team Wanderered over and handed me a pill to take - an anti inflammatory so I could play on. Seemed bizarre at the time given I was already injured but I took it anyway. Didnât play on regardless as it was only a friendly.
Never gave it much thought at all until now.
That could have been Rohypnol, pal.
As smoking guns go I would have hoped for a little moreâŚ
Youâre watching too much tv. Itâs the little things that tell you the truth, not the big drama.
Amoxicillin usually a one tablet 3 times a day dosage?

Spot the lad with the regular STDs
It was better than your story about the business man being told to give ff a bribe, Iâll give you that. At least you knew the identity of one of the people involved this time.
Spot the lad who knows the treatment for regular STDs

It was for a different man altogether mate, keep up
Irish rugby players donât cheat, itâs only those pesky foreigners (except CJ and any IRFU employees.)
100% So this much we know, âJamesâ took PEDs but itâs not âJamesâ fault. Our boys are untouchable in other words, the rubby apologists very quiet today I see
Nicely tidied up by Gerry, all a series of unfortunate events
Has he gotten any recommendations so far?
Last week the Sindo - back of a truck, landed on the coffee table etc - said that the pharmacy in question has links to employees within Munster RugbyâŚ
Clearly Munster are trying to bury this. Hopefully WADA step in here and justice is served.
Thereâs a little clue in that Thornley puff piece above. He knows more than heâs letting on. Look at the last sentence in the next paragraphâŚ
âItâs understood that Munster no longer intend using the pharmacy, while the player is suing it in light of the legal costs he incurred. Why Munster and Cronin havenât said so is another matter.â
Also ignoring the absolutely bleeding obvious that the pharmacy thing may have been a hastily contrived cover story, and that the steroids found in his blood werenât actually due to taking a few prednisolone tablets that morning.
