CRAIG Cook returned to track action in Berwick colours last weekend, only a matter of weeks after his withdrawal from Leicester’s Premiership side sparked plenty of social media speculation about the Cumbrian’s future. In his first interview since then, the former British Champion and GP racer reveals: “I got diagnosed with ADHD three years ago, so I was still trying to get the medication right....it wasn’t fair for me to go and race for Leicester. I haven’t explained anything, not been on Facebook or any sort of media. I haven’t read anything. It’s frustrating, because it doesn’t matter what I say, I’m always going to get criticised for whatever. I just kept myself to myself, worked on my health and then tried to get myself ready to race. At the end of the day, I’m not going to go and race and make a fool of myself or worse, injure someone. It wasn’t fair on me or anyone else to go racing, the fans, or the opponents…anyone. I just made the decision, which wasn’t an easy decision, but it was the right one.”
