They should be banned from all international competition.
Good to see ya taking it seriously pal. Lies and cover-ups about drug taking is now known and authorised by Fumble House. They actually admitted it. What a sport. You should be soooooo proud!!!!! Everything the critics of the mess have been saying over the years has been proven 100% correct.
The whole code from head office down runs on lies. Brand protection. And cover-ups. A stinking cesspit of a Australian sport.
Reading the responses from all the brain washed deluded little fumbler fanboys on line is both hilarious & pathetic
in their cheerleader outfits with pom poms flaying around ,
but they're the reason their sports leaders get away with this type of flagrant disregard for the rules that all other sports follow , no one holds them to account & when you're a brain washed halfwit then you will believe what you're told , do what you're told & ask no questions ever .
a truly disgusting sport.
I think the policy/practise as reported is flawed, but it has not broken any of the rules regarding performance enhancing drugs whether Australian or International.
It would appear that the “reporting” was between the player and the clubs doctor and the club doctors are not obligated to report a positive or a negative, in fact it maybe illegal to do so under confidentiality clauses. This is why the unavailability of the player is often reported as an injury, this is deceitful and perhaps unavailable would be more accurate although would be assumed to be an identifier.
My understanding that when a player has tested positive, other than game day, the are “unavailable” for the next game, which must affect their match payments, and put into some kind of rehab “course”.
How that could be kept quiet from the club, coach or other players is difficult to fathom.
I would think if a player is consistently unavailable they would be delisted or up for trade before to long.
That being said, would it pass the pub test, maybe not, but this is not about performance enhancing drugs.
Would anyone here like their private, albeit, illegal drug use made public by their employer?
It is interesting that the reporting was made under parliamentary privilege, from information provided by 3 disenchanted persons.
I would think a reasonable policy/practise is an affected player should be tested every week and suspended after a determined number of infractions.
I’m sure they will be much more movement on this, I would be surprised if the AFL was the only sport affected.
There are lies, damn lies and then there are ratings.
Rugby league, Australias most popular game in some of North Eastern Australia.
