and yet where was all of this through 05/06/07? He said himself he was a drug addict, but highly functioning, through those times. He recounts going on benders, and regular use as a reward for training, through those times. You may be right in the effects it has on most people, but by his own...

and yet it's banned in-competition because????

if you honestly believe that amphetamines offering you the ability train harder in the gym, and get stronger/fitter in a faster period of time, doesnt equate to an improved matchday performance, then you've lost me. and in-competition in a lot of codes is during the season, not just match-day...

actually, amphetamines are prohibited in-competition - http://www.wada-ama.org/Documents/World_Anti-Doping_Program/WADP-Prohibited-list/WADA_Prohibited_List_2010_EN.pdf So, bascially, you are saying you do not believe using amphetamines out of competition as a training aid is performance...

If the AFL was serious about having a drugs policy that was aimed at preventing a case like Ben Cousins from occurring in the future, then it would want to know the answers to hard questions like "how did Ben manage not to test positive in all that time", and "how aware was the club? and if it...

Steroids are legal, yes - but also banned by all the major sporting codes. Caffeine is neither. Illicit drugs are illegal, and banned on game day - but my point is you cannot deny amphetamines are performance-enhancing if used in training. Ben would have got the same as Wendell, or at least a...

At what point did I even mention the flag?? I didn't. You could argue it's mostly Fremantle supporters wading in with questions because they were also in Perth when all of this happened, and are familiar with the whole circus. If anything, I'm probably more on your side than you realise - my...

Caffeine is also legal - slight difference. There is a grey line in claiming you never took "performance enhancing drugs", only "recreational drugs" (all still illegal mind you) if you were using the "recreational drugs" to aid your training. It might be within the rules of WADA, yes, but apart...

+1. I got a similar impression out of it. And to those who don't think amphetamines/stimulants are performance enhancing - theres been plenty of examples of atheletes using them - just look at the Tour de France, amphetamine use was rife, Tom Simpson even rode himself to death on them. They're...

Questions I have always wanted answered, and after viewing the first half of the doco, still want answered: 1. How did Ben manage not to test positive at all, in from what the doco portrays, is at least 2 years of reasonably heavy drug use as a high-level AFL player?? 2. How complicit were...
