The case of the Cronulla five was mentioned last week in a Senate committee hearing where ASADA chief executive, Ben McDevitt, was asked why the NRL had not acted against the players.

McDevitt said he had asked the same question.

The NRL's approach to doping matters is to provide the parties with the notices, together with a brief of evidence. This includes information from ASADA, together with any relevant detail from the defamation case.

While the Cronulla five were subject to the same 2011 doping regime as the players who were given a backdated suspension of only three matches, they did not admit guilt.

The lawyers for the five will presumably argue they should receive the same suspension but the NRL is mindful ASADA would argue otherwise and potentially appeal a light sentence to WADA.

Should the players contest the case, it will be headed to the NRL's Anti Doping Tribunal, chaired by Ian Callinan, QC.

The 2 Situations were handled differently, and the crimes were of different severity. I don't care to explain to you in detail but if you do not know by now then you are clearly living under a rock.

The NRL's report is separate to ASADA's investigation, which was launched after the infamous "darkest day in sport" press conference in February this year.
Smith said no action would be taken against any players until the ASADA investigation was complete.
"Whilst at this stage ASADA has not given us any information warranting further infraction notices, that investigation remains ongoing," Smith said.

I think the big question that should have been ask is why ASADA/WADA choose not to appeal the sentences which were VERY light! Having John Fahey as the head of WADA and ex-RL player and coach - creates certainly the appearance of a conflict of interest!

Essendon were offered the same deal iirc.
