In the light of recent "facts" I don't know that you can say that anymore.
I think there is now a very very big asterix next to the 2006 West Coast premiership.
Amphetamines can be performance enhancing!
This issue has been discussed in two other threads.

My club's supporters have been bashed over the head with this accusation for some time now, so when considering the Ben Cousins case, I ask, IF he has been abusing amphetamines, would this constitute being a drug cheat.
One thing I noticed about Ice users is increased aggressive behaviour and a willingness to be more physically aggressive, even when the drug is not detectable in their system. In contact sport this no doubt gives an advantage.
So my question is, IF the WCE are rife with drug use, would this constitute them as being drug cheats and if so, would they be considered to have cheated their way to a flag?
Anyone who thinks that amphetamines couldn't enhance performance are kidding themselves. A very big asterix indeed.
