I was shocked to hear the news yesterday that Matt had failed a drugs test. I had heard rumblings on the grapevine of indulgence but just dismissed it as hearsay.
Matt obviously has an addiction which he admittedly recognises and had being seeking help before failing the drugs test.
I am surprised by the quoted comment in the Mail today by Bath Rugby Club Chief executive, Bob Calleja - I quote " Clearly the timing is most unfortunate, particularly as we are focused on the big game on Sunday. Hopefully we are still focused." I wonder if his response would have been the same if that was his son that was addicted to a recreational drug?!
I am convinced that Matt has the strength of character to get through this problem and I wish him all the best.
