AFL outrage over drug claims

Lewis was ostracised for these comments, from memory.

 

[Redline]

is this limited to the Dees?

I am sure they will implicate us somehow

Burgess lifetime ban incoming.

Will be the only sanction.

 

[FR0GGY]

Burgess lifetime ban incoming.

Will be the only sanction.

Probably where his philosophy of play through injuries came from after all these random injuries at Melbourne popped up.

 

[cmndstab]

Burgess lifetime ban incoming.

Will be the only sanction.

Since Melbourne is involved, I'm sure the AFL will find a way to exhume Dean Bailey and scapegoat him again.

 

[Pugsley]

I'm not surprised.

 

[feenix67]

If the AFL were complicit in players avoiding SIA testing and thus being in breach of WADA code, there's a whole shit ton of govt funding about to be flushed down the toilet. Not to mention the match fixing implications.

Super League anyone?

 

[BunjiMC]

At this stage I'm not even sure Rory really has sore eyes....

 

[WAG]

Funny - I can’t find any mention of this story on afl.com.au

Australian sport's version of Fox News

 

[BunjiMC]

This aged well....

 

[FR0GGY]

Injuries from self tattooing?

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

At this stage I'm not even sure Rory really has sore eyes....

 

[Samcro24]

It’s more than likely true.

Nothing is likely to happen.

 

[Anzacpaul]

It’s more than likely true.

Nothing is likely to happen.

Exactly, will be a fall guy or 2, likely people long out of the industry, an internal investigation, and a promise of change.

The AFL is too large to fail.

Wouldn't be too sure. WADA has teeth.

 

[Sanders]

Injuries from self tattooing?

Definitely the only needle work going on between his toes. Honest

 

[Sanders]

Definitely glad we got rid of Stengle; can’t have a solitary bad egg like that

Got him out before anyone else could be poisoned

 

[Sanders]

Got him out before anyone else could be poisoned

What with his tiny quantity for personal use, imagine the decline in club culture!

Won’t someone think of the children

This is the big story.

I don't think match fixing allegations would hold water, or they would have been discovered (irregular bets would be spotted.) But if players and officials are named, WADA will be looking for SIA to hand out 2 year bans for fun.

 

[Moonwatcher]

We clearly don’t do it because short of losing a limb our players always play.

Maybe all our young kids are on the gear and that's why we don't play them.

So how is this any different to breath testing yourself before driving home? And if you blow over you don’t drive?

I think it’s like being law that the cops are at the exit of the pub car park. But you’re breath testing yourself while fumbling for your seatbelt and rolling to the exit, then suddenly pulling into to the disabled car park when you blow over.

But you haven’t broken any laws though?

 

[relapse]

The problem is that this is allegations from someone the AFL will paint as a "disgruntled former employee".

For it to go anywhere either the government or WADA would have to launch an independent investigation.

Will it happen? Most probably not, it will more than likely just get swept under the carpet.
