barnyia 1,252 Report post Posted August 11, 2017 The French federation has been told they have to publish the copy of the paperwork they've been sent from the testing organization, it's been published on the local papers website, It seems very vague. Apparently he was worried and acting strangely and was said to the tester he took cocaïne the night before and asked two other players to urinate for him, then he said in a quiet voice to the trainee tester he had money in his car for him, also he asked how long it stays in your system! All their words against his! Sounds to me like he walked in saying "ooofff big night last night on the coke anyone want to pee for me"! Then saying in a whispering voice "I've money for you in the car" then asking how long it takes to leave the system ! If he did it like this he really is not very intelligent !

Hvy wg 1,858 Report post Posted August 11, 2017 They state that "in presence of a sworn tester and a graduating tester, Tony Gigot showed himself worried and disturbed, announcing that he had used cocaine the day before. The athlete repeatedly asked for another player to urinate for him or, if not, one of the testers and spoke - in a low voice - about the presence of money in his vehicle".

I think cocaine is 24h-48hrs? Or am I mixing it up with HGH? Take it after a game on Friday night, and it should be out of the system by Mondays testing. Allegedly. Quote With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take it after a game on Friday night, and it should be out of the system by Mondays testing. Allegedly. It's not "fixed", depends on the dose, on the body etc... But on a single hit, expect 1 day to a week (depending if you mixed it with alcohol or not) Depends on the administration method, it's quicker to get rid of with intravenous than snorting. Depends on whether you drink water or not. So, single hit, intravenous injection + a lot of water, I'd wouldn't expect anyone to detect anything 12 hours after use.

The 2-year ban is the equivalent of failing a drugs test in competition. So in effect he has been given a drug cheat's ban. It is like the police knocking on your door and you saying "Morning constable, do you want to buy some stolen goods?" Then being arrested, convicted and sentenced for the equivalent of possessing stolen goods. As opposed to a caution for wasting police time.

DoubleD 5,211 Report post Posted August 11, 2017 Rio Ferdinand was banned for 8 months for missing a drugs test. Gigot was found clean. 3 months at worse for me. This is the French we're dealing with though, and the establishment Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hvy wg 1,858 Report post Posted August 11, 2017 I think you're all missing the point there. He wasn't banned for taking drugs but for trying to overpass the test. I see it a bit more like this situation : you had a couple beers and you're taking the car to go home, you get pulled over by a cop. He asks you to take the test. You suggest another guy to take the test for you then suggest the cop that you have money in the car. Doesn't matter if you're joking or not, you're busted. You can be positive or negative, you're busted for bribery attempt. Gigot played with fire and burned himself, you don't say those kind of things to a sworn tester. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Southerner80 892 Report post Posted August 12, 2017 Gigot already been banned for 3 months. Yes a silly thing to say, but 3 months for not taking drugs but making a joke?? NRL players could snort coke, ###### on their best mate while filming it and get less matches.... RL basically being screwed with here. Doubt If someone like Gael Fikou or Trin Duc did this that there would be such a threat of a two year ban. Gigot may be a bit silly, but he's basically THE interesting French player Catalans have and actually is one of the few players in SL who actually is memorable. Without him, SL looses character. Same with Luke Gale, JJB, Gelling etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
