PSSST. You there, listen up. You know the AFL has cut a deal to get all its players off charges of drug use. Yep, dead-set. Essendon players won't face any charges over that peptide stuff.
ASADA is in it up to its neck too. The federal government is smack in the middle of it. Mate, just be told this is the biggest rort since cricket introduced the DRS. That AFL how-good-am-I-bloke, Andrew Demetriou, is the Gaiser Soso or how ever you spell it of the gang. Keyser Soze that's it. Watch him, Demetriou only limps when he wants. Mate, we're telling you he limped into the meeting that set up the deal. No limp when he walked out. Just saying.
It could bring down the government. The boatpeople won't decide this election. This is so big you can't call it a gate. It is more like a foyer or an entrance. Yeah, that's it, this is a vestibule. Demetribule.
We are telling you, they are all in it. The AFL, ASADA and Kate Lundy, the Sports Minister. Sorry, she's gone. She's now Minister for Assisting The Digital Economy. That's code, don't worry about that. Minister for Shutting The Vestibule more like it.
Don't worry, though, the NRL boffins are on to it. So are the NRL remora. They have got the document. Yep, the DOC-U-MENT. Not sure they have actually read it yet but the rort has been exposed. Some of the News Corp Australia papers published bits of the DOC-U-MENT.
How about this. These are some of the things agreed on in the DOC-U-MENT:
• Players will be given every chance to escape the mandatory two-year ban for illicit drug use.
• ASADA will explain to the players that these are exceptional circumstances and the defence of no fault or negligence may be available.
• It will be explained to the players that under a no fault or negligence defence a player can receive a complete elimination of sanction.
• Where a player does come forward and provides a sworn statement regarding his involvement or the involvement of any other person, ASADA and the AFL will fully explore all avenues in an attempt to provide a no-fault or negligence defence or substantial assistance.
• ASADA agrees that a significant contributing factor in the consideration of a no fault or negligence defence will be the extent to which players knew or suspected they had used prohibited substances at the instigation of sports science staff and took utmost caution in relation to the treatments they were receiving.
• Where ASADA forms the view that the defence of no fault or negligence is available in relation to a particular player, ASADA and the AFL agree that they will support the application of that defence to that player in proceedings before relevant sports tribunals.
In return for such consideration the AFL would ensure all players would co-operate with ASADA investigators. They would all be represented by AFL Player Association lawyers to facilitate what would be a protracted and difficult investigation.
Well, there it is. Demetribule. ASADA's obviously corrupt if, as some News reporters wailed last night, a deal had been cut even before the investigation started. Don't worry about the government. They agreed to it when the deal was puffed up at a bunga bunga party.
Just a warning. Don't fall for those AFL toadies who say the DOC-U-MENT only shows a framework for a very difficult and unique investigation. They will tell you it was a way forward for a complex inquiry. We'll do everything to help you, if you do everything to help us. That is, to attend interviews, tell the truth, protect no one. No guarantees about penalty, just that you will get every chance to explain what happened in 2012.
Come to think of it, this Demetribule might just be a beat-up by NRL sympathisers who have watched their own competition totally botch their chance to co-operate. The DOC-U-MENT guarantees nothing about sentences, penalties or secret deals. It is just a promise if you co-operate with authorities then the players will get every chance to state their case.
Reckon that is exactly what happened in the Lance Armstrong case. Give evidence freely and honestly and consideration will be given to your co-operation and penalty.
Hey, you better listen up again. On reflection this looks just a loud whinge from NRL sycophants covering up for their own bumbling sport. A bit of mud throwing. Call it just a jealous little Grubbygate.

The NRL however there is big problems with co-operation and the NRL has finally done something after all this time - talk about shutting the gate after the horse bolted!
