I didnt think to ask - I will - I assume ASADA because the GPS were up in arms when they tried to test at the head of the river

IIRC they lacked jurisdiction to test underage amateur athletes without parental permission but happy to be corrected.

So they would have parental permission......that makes sense: as I recall that HOR test was completely out of the blue, in more than a merely random way: they just swooped and no one had ever considered the issue.
Is it open to the view that there has been some use of stuff and the schools now think they need to call in the big boys?

drug testing should be made madatory for any 1st xv. If you think about it, the elite gps schools excluding high and grammar are recruiting and training like a proffesional team so I am of the opinion that they should be tested like professionals. if anyone tested positive then whether the school is to blame or not is another issue ie if they supplied the drugs to the students. drugs are bad mkayyy........

Despite my overwhelming cynicism about some shool's recruiting policy I'm prepared to believe that no school would knowingly provide students with drugs.
I say knowingly because some of these supplements must be dodgy: Robbie odavis case!

People, the only reason why athletes can be drug tested is that they agree to it - typically, when you register to take part in a competition, there will be a provision on the registration form that says that you consent to being tested (or that you consent to the competition rules or by-laws that allow testing). In order for a school competition to permit testing, the players (or their parents when the players are under 18) would need to provide that consent. Whether the schools have taken any steps to procure that consent, I don't know. Without it, nothing can happen.

Sounds promising for Shore as the Trinity pack is is quite highly rated with plenty of rep players like Junior Satiu, Cam Orr, Jackson McLean, Malaki Afele and Vince Moresello to name but a few (and assuming that they played)
