Thanks Xman but i think you've got little more to offer on this one ol chap.
Pookus I still think you have the separate issues of scrutiny and leniency a little tangled in your take on what I'm saying. If the public community hears about a school teacher acting ala big fev or cousins, they'd be out on their ear quicker than you could bounce them out of the school. Sure if its not public the teacher may get away with a more lenient charge but i know and i think xman would too that the education department takes a very very hard line with those who are caught with drugs. Politicians are much the same as are all highly regarded professions in my opinion.
Now the scrutiny players receive is a different kettle of fish, its harsh and a very difficult thing to address considering the popularity of the players. NRL players in melb and AFL players in syd are living the dream really. Why big fev would prob be sitting in star casino right now relaxing after a win with the swans by chucking a few thousand on the tables if he played in sydney.
You claimed the AFL players should have harsher penalties for enhancing drugs! this shows you have no idea what you're talking about because the vast majority of sports use WADAs guidelines for performance enhancing drugs, which involves instant bans.
King-Eliagh: ...I believe [RL] is popular in all the other states and territories, bar tasmania.
