So Gabe Hamblin get's a two-year ban for testing positive for cocaine. His defence was hilarious:
[from the BBC]
"Mr Hamlin asserts that on the evening of 7 February 2019 (the night before sample collection) he was at his home with a woman he had met through an online dating application," explained Ukad in its report."Mr Hamlin indicates that he and the woman kissed during the course of the evening from around 10:30pm. Mr Hamlin maintains he did not consume cocaine or see the woman consuming it; he suggests that she appeared 'very chatty and visited the bathroom several times' and that he discovered white powder in his bathroom the following morning (though he did not presume this to be cocaine at that time).
Professor Kim Wolff, having considered Mr Hamlin's account, was of the opinion that it 'does not stand up to scrutiny'.
A couple of points:
1. He shouldn't have bothered with spinning such a yarn, and instead just said he had **issues**. That gets you a reduced 14-month ban.
2. No doubt there'll be a job waiting for him back at the piedome once his ban is up. That's how it works there, as far as I can see. And he'll fit right in with the culture.
