I meant everyone move on, not Hardie (but I was ridiculously unclear in doing so!). Got to congratulate the SRU on the timing of the announcement. The team and management being thousands of miles away and unavailable for comment and they even wait for the raft of weekly rugby podcasts to be recorded and released so as to avoid comment and discussion until it's pretty old news. They really are getting their sh*t together these days aren't they?


Nah, I knew what you meant, it was clear enough, but just think that the whole episode will have created antibodies and this sort of scenario is not usually recoverable. Easier for a player to move on particularly as Hardie will be coming to the end of his contract, will be on a good wedge that can be freed up and has not actually played an awful lot of games for us for a variety of reasons. Best all round I think?

Cocaine leaves the system quite quickly, so a test might not be too conclusive.

Not strictly true, depends on frequency of usage and testing method.

Urine test is 3-14 days depending on frequency, hair test can be up to a year.
