Schoolboy rugby is arguably one of the dirtiest sports around. This will set a massive precedent and it creates a mindset for life that you can get away with anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbacca Posted February 14, 2022 Share 54 minutes ago, DieselnDust said: and it creates a mindset for life that you can get away with anything This is also compounded by the fact that schools have a tendency to protect and hide the misdemeanours and behaviour of their stars. Rugby players at big rugby schools get away with murder with the help of the school body. Coupled with the open adulation and hero worship (also encouraged) of the younger kids, these guys are set up to expect to be untouchable forever.

dave303e Posted February 14, 2022 Share Picture this, ok they are going to ban the party administering the drugs/the support team and let her compete. School X decides 1 parent can do the administering of the drugs and the coach knows nothing. The whole team can dope big time, not even small scale. Then come craven week, whole team tests positive but with the precedent set- Ban the 1 parent from the sport and let the drugged up team compete because they are minors.

Only U16 though.... 16 and older and you're treated as an adult. It all just stems back to the fact that the kids might be doping, but the adults are the real criminals. Pushing your and other peoples kids to such a point should come with some massive penalties.

So you don't think that parents/teachers feeding kids under 16 PEDS should receive serious sanction? Dunno, if my kid was ever talented at anything and was influenced in this manner by people in a position to have said influence, I would definitely want some serious recourse.

Actually that is very flawed statement, the key part being "proper supervision" compounded by the lack of properly sourced peds, many of which shouldn't actually be used by still developing children. Prof Tucker has gone over this in detail before. And no, it isn't laughable at all. Julz, Scary Rider, DNC and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally? no BUT, teachers and coaches can be helluva convincing. Your peers even more so. Especially in a team environment and especially when teenagers are involved. I would wager that all of us got up to some stuff we know we shouldn't have due to peer pressure or pressure from people we looked up to WITHOUT telling our parents at some point in our lives. So as a parent, I can't afford to live in a world where my kids do everything they are supposed to. That is not the nature of kids, no matter how well you raise them.

If they weren't illegal, you would get a certified product and instructions on how to use it. Criminalizing things that people are going to do anyway, removes oversight completely, resulting in a poor and questionable product and even worse direction on it's use. Bring the things into the light and administer good quality products using the latest scientific best practice for their use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The very concept of 'proper supervision' does not include engaging in illegal administering of drugs to other people's kids...... Surely, by definition, that would be 'Improper supervision'?
