Shouldn�t be anyway near the World Cup squad

He's already had much more help and support around his drug issues than any normal person gets, I have limited sympathy unfortunately.

Correct. There�s only so much help you can receive without helping yourself. First offence gets rehab and support with PCA and gets brushed under the carpet almost with only the county director being told of the outcome, so he�s had his help and had us privileges regarding it, it�s then his call to continue.

If Hales is the only English cricketer with a taste for marching powder then I'd be very surprised.

Which drug? White powder or green leaf?

Slap on the wrist, ECB has no discipline. Stokes and hales got away in Bristol and now only a 21 day ban

His 3rd strike

This.

Living the life and has more support than any normal person and still acts poorly. Zero sympathy and should be kicked into touch. This should always be unacceptable in such positions justify like police, fire, forces etc

Jack Burnham recently got a season long ban for cocaine use. Going back a bit, Ed Giddens got 19 months.

Burnham was three failed tests.

Tom Maynard and Rory Hamilton Brown two other examples in recent years.

I have a feeling this and the Archer issue is going to completely derail our chances in the World Cup.
I hope I�m wrong.

Only occasion I can think of where a player wasn't banned was Tom Huddlestone after the death of his son.

When I was under WADA regs I had to check every supplement I took to be sure they weren't contaminated, and I've never been tempted by anything recreational but I'm sure some team mates would have been indulging in the odd spliff.

Think that was Livermore not Huddlestone

I�d be very surprised if many players are stupid enough to smoke the devils lettuce regularly. It stays in your system for up to 6 weeks where as Colombian marching powder is detectable for 3-4 days.

It's quite ironic on Sky sports cricket they just showed Hales' ridiculous 116* vs Sri Lanka in the T20 World Cup.

Reading the Guardian article what strikes me though is how can the ECB possibly operate on an anti-doping process that only tests at the start and end of the season. That is absolutely ludicrous for a national governing body of a high profile sport. Even if they are using a hair follicle for previous 3 months use.

Now I absolutely don't condone what Hales has done at all especially as it's his 2nd time. But playing devils advocate here, if it is a 3 months test at the start of the season he has failed, isn't it possible that he has had a spliff in the off season?

I will reiterate that I in no way condone Hales behaviour just opening discussion.

@six and out this isn't an anti-doping test, it's for recreational drugs only. UKAD conducts anti-doping tests, not the ECB.
