Evolution of society........
Evolution of society........ Drugs have been around for ages and is a part of society's social scene whether you like it or not, concerning for parents that dont know how to deal with it. Pressure on a club to succeed these days is huge, its a massive money market now, doesnt suprise me to hear a club tryin to get the edge. Problem is now, whether they find their actions to be illegal or not, everyone still will think the same....Poor Brendan Goddard, has walked into a storm..... The media, ahhhhh gota love their shit too, oh did you hear Buddy hasnt resigned blah blah, WC and Freo Blah Blah *eyes rolling back*........never a tv on at my house at 6, never buy the newspaper, dont listen to the radio either.....Dunno why they have promotional matches pre season either, and to no suprise, the big gun players are 'ruled out'..
I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

Theory
I reckon they got the word that a big story on it was about to break tomorrow, hence the hastily arranged presser.
Be interested to see the front and back pages of the Herald Sun and The Age tomorrow.

Systematic club wide doping a bit more serious than some players self reporting Garry.
You might not have a club to support for two years, bit of a bugger really as i'm lining up Anzac Day MCG members tickets.

Bucket
Seems Reimers may have been a bit pissed off about the Bombers not renewing his contract and no other AFL clubs wanting him so he's gone and dropped the bucket on their ''supplement'' usage.
Be interesting to see where it goes.

Sometimes I laugh at what gets pinged
Like the shooter who took caffeine (I think he was a Pentathlete) - well hello, to much caffeine makes you shake, not bloody good if you are a shooter. As for cough mixture and a diuretic, what performance enhancement are you going to get out off that.
Having dealt with ASDA (Aust Sports doping Authority) in the past when Rally Australia was asked to tests drivers the banned list is extensive, but doesn't look at individual sports. Some sportsmen and woman may indeed be hindered by some banned drugs. But its a minefield IMO.
Fresh on the heals off Lance comes the Essondon Football club etc etc.
Where is this going to end??

That's the thing Crasny
That's the thing Crasny it'll never end. Some of these guys think they above it all. I mean from what I'm hearing they all signed papers saying that what they were being injected with was borderline illegal. WTF!!! how dumb are these guys to be ijected with anything let alone signing waivers. How far it's all come from doing a few laps around the feild to get fit. The footy forefathers will all be turning in their graves. What a shame.

If you are talking about
If you are talking about Russell Mark the shooter he wasn't allowed his sleeping pills or a shared room with his fellow Olympian wife.

I think Crasny was referring to Alex Watson
Alex Watson, a fencer from Australia who competed in the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul was banned due to an elevated level of caffeine in his system.

Got it Alan
I thought he was a shooter, but that is the one.
Ah I looked further and he was a Modern Pentathlete. I wouldnt want to OD on caffeine in these events. Pistol Shooting, Fencing, swimming, horseriding and a run.

AFL and sport in general
AFL and sport in general needs to have a look at itself - they all test for drugs and then shit themselves and make every excuse under the sun when they find that participants fail.
Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
Sam Riley got banned years ago in Perth I think because of Paracetamol(?) because she had a headache - but did it enhance her performance because it got rid of her headache?

I think it was Panadeine
So had codeine in it. It would in theory dope you up, slow you down. It is Banned unless prescribed, but no way would it have helped her swim faster, probably the opposite!!!
Reason for all this doping in sports --- $$$$ Chaching!!

Shame to see
Drugs useage and abuse has been around in many sports, some worse than other. Has a lot to do with how and what the individual is exposed to. But when it's pushed/supported by trainers or mentors of the younger generation what chance do they have. The attitude of "I must take what ever to keep up with the rest of the field" is not a good thing. Most codes are bringing in very young players with no life skills and once removed from the family home it's easy for them to become "sheep". It's not easy for anyone to report that they have a substance use/abuse problem, it's not till they get caught, reported or hit rock bottom that something can be done about it.
It's very concerning that a person like the Weapon (if involved) could be involved with this kind of situation. Does raise the question about what he did at Geelong.
Agree with Tim-o about the media. Report the facts fair enough but they can crucify a person whether guilty or not. Wouldn't it be interesting if the camera was turned around on them and their personal lives.
Old fishermen never die they just smell that way.

Having too many puffs from your asthma puffer
Can also put you in the bad books with the anti doping authority. And it isn't that many. You see a lot of players taking several hits at a time, over the course of a game, and it is enough to be over the required levels.

Even if it is uncle what bothers me that these guys are injecting whatever into their bodies to get some sort of edge. Like Paul Murray said on the radio yesterday they take no doze and other legal crap to get hyped but sooner or later it leads to the serious drugs. Ah make em do sprints I say!

It better be all above board
2 Yr Ban for Players involved, 4yrs to life for officials involved. Some clubs might have a very empty roster if it is not above board. And what about Jobe Watson, Brownlow winner with possible Illegal stuff onboard. Who came second again??
This could be to big to handle.

No different to clubbers on shit in Northbridge, or blokes walkin along the beach lookin like a stocking full of walnuts, been happining for years, take the risk (illegal activity) to enhance their social experience or physical appearance, same as to take the risk to enhance your physical ability in sport, Like Lance Armstrong said, you have to do it to be at the top, cos the bloke next to you is probably doin it too.....Its not all doom and gloom tho, for those that can have a good time, legally or become HUGE by just eating meat and eggs for suppliment or become top level athletes and achievers in a sport, legally, good on em, hopefully they arent the minority
