Talking Footy

Here's the hole in your theory of the AFL trying to save face.

The medical experts insisted on the players confidentiality, not the AFL. If you think otherwise please provide proof.

The AFL do not name the player to protect them during their treatment. Yet the AFL release their results for all to see (unlike the NRL). Why would they do that if they were trying to protect themselves from scrutiny?? Could it be that they are trying to protect the player, and not their reputation, like they originally said they were?

a great read this story from an AFL jurno
sums it up nicely

the egomaniacal AFL is out to protect its image .. with no regard for its players
who'd know how many AFL players are on 1 & 2 strikes already .... but as long as none make the press .. thats all the AFL cares about
it is disgusting.
for shame .. for shame

I'm sorry but are you that silly?

Why would the AFL release the details of the positive tests every year, yet keep the players names quiet, if they had no regard for the player and were only trying to save face?

Surely they would just keep the results quiet, just like the NRL.

So Raider,

you still need to:

- show a list of sports that perform out of season/game time testing for ilicit drugs

- explain why the NRL hide their results

- explain what medical evidence you have to back up your theory of no strikes

the only holes here .. are in the AFL's drug policy.

So as usual you are full of opinions but have zero facts or proof.

Did you see the list of things you need to provide for any credibility on this topic?

If the AFL were simply trying to save face why do they release the results? They don't release the players names to protect their medical confidentiality as advised by the experts who developed the policy.

See, Xman?

posting an opinion piece that agrees with your opinion is just reinforcing your opinion.

It's not proof, other than someone agrees with you.

You still need to show clinical evidence to back up your no strike theory, and expalin why the NRL do not release any results.
