what happens if a player drops dead? Training or even competing?

That would have to mean instant disqualification. It would ruin the credibility of the sport if they had drape a medal around a dead athlete's shoulders.

Currently at training, report to follow. Players going down like flies!

Gol de Lucho... All I can think of when I see the dirty cheats. They are not quite as bad as Brazil, but up there with some of our Middle Eastern neighbours for outright anti-football shenanigans.

 

[Val Keating]

Didn't that fall through?

The games or his participation in them? Not sure on either count. I’ve only heard or read news about the organisers plans, nothing about it not going ahead or Magnussen pulling out.

I listened to an interview with two representatives of the games. They claim the athletes will be heavily monitored by doctors when they were pushed about athletes over juicing.

I imagine all athletes will have to sign waivers.

We have an unwritten law of a zero jokes policy when it comes to injuries

Red card for you

Maybe. There’s already professional bodybuilding which pretty much allows doping. Doping is already very common in the Olympics.

Have you ever watched Derek’s show more plates more dates? He often does shows about athletes and doping. Not a bad show if you’re interested in that type of thing.

 

[DuckYeah]

I think I agree here. Not sure if its contributing to injuries but its definitely far too early to play footy.

Body building is vastly different to being a power house aerobic beast.

So many athletes out there now are taking undetectable peptides and SARMs that can mirror the results of anabolics.

The testing even for the olympics is nothing short of embarrassing, the drug users and the countries that encourage it (Russia, China ect) are so far ahead of the tests it’s not funny.

Of course. Different gear for different purposes.

It's essentially an IQ test, as they say

Don’t care when anyone else starts

As long as I have my footy tips in and are sitting in the stands on Match 15 at 7:20 can have a Round 000

 

[Shinboner Supremacy]

With pro cycling, it was doctors who were in charge of the doping.
