What a ridiculous statement to make.
The first part of my post (it would be awesome if...) was purely a "what if"...I'd find it funny. It'd also back-up my feelings on the Matt Stevens ban.
The second part was also comedically themed, I however find your somewhat myopic reaction to any mention of illicit drugs a little brash and undeserved.

Sympathy for the use of ILLEGAL contraband as low and pathetic as the scum who supply and use the stuff themselves.
Anyone who thinks otherwise seriously has problems.

Why?
What is your major problem with illicit drugs?
If it's got anything to do with "respecting your body" I sincerely hope you don't drink because you'd be setting yourself for a tar and feathering.
Just because a person chooses to use a particular arrangement of chemicals to feel a certain way for pleasure doesn't make a bad person. I will concede that there is cause for concern when addiction comes into the equation but what I've found is that the majority of people I know that "do drugs" are casual users, only doing them occasionally on nights out or in setting that suits them, myself included. Fair enough some people go a bit too far, but you can't judge everyone in one group on that merit.
Out of the two of us, you are obviously ignorant one in this particular instance.
By the way, I'm going to have a f***ing great time in Amsterdam next week.

The way I understand it, the Bath chaps have been accused of: starting a fight with Harlequins players at a London pub; taking drugs; and refusing to supply hair samples to the clubs investigators. Most delightfully, Justin "Plank" Harrison has pre-empted the results of the investigation and retired from rugby with immediate effect. He hopped on a plane to Australia after being knocked out by a Quins player during the fracas.
Just who might this heroic Quins biffster be? I suspect Nick Easter. If you recall, Easter was forced to withdraw from last year's tour of New Zealand after breaking his hand during a clash in the tunnel with Harrison in the fixture at Twickers against the Baa Baas. The duo have long detested each other. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that the gobby colonial turned up at the pub to start trouble with Easter and promptly found himself knocked into next week by our beefy Englishman.

Hands Off!!

I know they're Bristol's Rivals and all, but still, it's not really funny that this has happened. It's the players fault, and it could prove to really hurt the club on and off the field, which is very sad considering Bath are quite a big name in club rugby. It also affects the reputation of the sport in general, neither the fans or player want Rugby to have the label of the 'druggie-sport'.
So just have a bit of sympathy mate, I mean you'd kick off if I said something like 'haha, I find it SO funny that Bristol got relagated' wouldn't you?
[/b][/quote]
Quite honestly, I would't kick off, it's not as if I can deny it. We were pants all last season and deserved it. My finding it funny is my personal opinion, if everyone else want to laugh at Bris for getting relagated, their opinion.
If they didn't want to tarnish rugby with their actions then they should have used their brains and thought about it.
The Bristol-Bath rivalry is more than local. It started in the 80's with Stuart Barnes, while the game was still ameteur, Bath payed Barnes to play for them, totally against the rules at the time and got away with it.

For the (unofficial) record, it was Danny Care who supposedly sparked out Harrison with a single punch.

Being as I have an uncle 6 foot under who is only in that predicament because of cocaine, and I may add that's after seeing him fall down to the lowest rungs of society or get himself locked up in jail because of it, I fin that tone, well... There's no way of putting this politely, a f***ing insult. He started out as a so-called "casual user". So don't lecture me on stuff like this, it's apparent I know a bit more on the issue then you, but you are far too arrogant in your desire to "be cool and have a buzz" to take on a case point.
And Coaine is illegal in Amsterdam BTW. So have fun.

I didn't say I'd be doing cocaine in Amsterdam, and I'll concur that cocaine is a ridiculous drug.
I too have an uncle who uses drugs and has a story similar to yours, not that I'm trying to draw a parallel but I can understand where you are coming from.
I see you've been personally affect by drug abuse and I can understand why you seem to take umbrage every time drugs are mentioned but there is no need in insulting everyone who's ever done/supplied/defended them. This is where you have shown yourself to be somewhat close-minded, although I will agree you are justified in the "why" you hate drugs how you go about it makes you sound like a tool.
A large group of people are casual users and yes, some of them fall into addiction but it's not always going to be case.

Bath Rugby have been active in the recruitment market as we seek to bolster our squad for next season.
Although it is the off season - for Club rugby at least â€" it has been a busy time for Steve Meehan and others in the backroom team of late. Steve has been out of the country visiting his family in Australia but it has been very much a working holiday. He has been speaking to Bob Calleja and others in Bath every day to put together the new recruits we need for the squad ahead of the forthcoming season.
Certainly there has been no shortage of quality players interested in joining the Club but it is imperative that they are not just accomplished players but also right for the way we want to play the game.
If all continues to plan we anticipate starting to announce signings within the next few days.

This has nothing to do with being a bad person, the simple fact of the matter is these are professional sportsmen who have a role in society as well as for their club.
They are role models for young people who aspire to be like them. For that reason alone they shouldn't do drugs.
They are employed professionally by a club who want these players to be in perfect condition for the games they play, so doing illegal drugs is a ridiculous thing to do.
And as well as you have stated, they are illegal.

Im telling you now, there are far more players than these 4 who are on drugs at Bath. There is no reason for them all to get up and leave the club without a valid reason, especially the two vice-captains!
Sad state of affairs but they will be found guilty, I have no doubt about that.
