Bec Wilson: AFL in Strife Now with WADA

[Proper Gander]

She's a rugby league journo who has the respect of no one inside rugby circles, continuously slanders Melbourne as "Bleak City" and dismisses anything that comes from there, and dislikes the AFL (and clearly knows nothing about it).

She has no clue.

Bleak!!!

Right Ms Sydney - that's it. Feeling lucky?

I wish I got paid to write unmitigated unreadable drivel like that.

Just staggering, poker, Anzac spirit, the Alamo. Shit that a year 7 student would be embarrased to hand in. (Sorry strike that, a year 11 legal studies graduate)

Shocker article. The only coherent bit was the 6-8 pointless Twitter cribs from randoms who didn't enjoy the game. I want damages for the period of time I spent therefore lost reading that thing

The farther away wada are from the afls slimy reach the better.

Bec Wilson is too the foamers what Sam Newman is to the Essendon fans.

Both are useless.

Surely if you used foamers you should also have used the term hirdites?

Is Bec related to Caro?

The more things change, the more they stay the same in this saga. Only the names and faces change...........well maybe not here.

Future of the HTB - without leaks to discuss, months and months dissecting Bec's twaffle and random stuff cribbed from the Saintsational thread.

So what binds you to BF?
Might be entertaining to confess allegiances.

No-one is hunting Rebecca.

What you got away with the AFL won't happen with CAS ... they don't care about some back water league in Australia .... EFC are gonna be a nice little test case for the rest of the world to see that no one wants what happened at EFC to happen in larger sporting leagues around the word.

Get ready to be made an example of.

Sort of fitting really.

 

[telsor]

Did anyone read more than the name behind the drivel before dismissing it?

I went back and edited it just for you.

The actual CAS tribunal holds no fears for me, only the time it's going to take to hear it. The case can't be proven in its current state, regardless of whether you lower the burden of satisfaction.

Correct, code and city wars.

RUGBY League has finished the home-and-away season so far ahead of the country's other three football codes that no amount of bluff and bluster from any of the losers can atone for it

The foamers should delve a little deeper and have a look at peoples agendas, but they can't, the hate is strong very strong, overrides any common sense.

There was also a article by Wilson stating the demise of the AFL because it's demographics are aging while RL'S are getting younger, soccer will die, so will rugby blah, blah blah

Another great article by Bec.

One of the very few journos worth reading during the drug scandal.

I think there used to be a thread kind of like that, only it eventually got locked down after me, Telsa and armchair spent a solid afternoon trading general insults and a mod got tired of it.

I think habit is a big part - or maybe it's a bit more like what a gambling addict might experience (though less critical of course). The one day when you don't go there might be the one day when something interesting happens. Or like a soap opera.

So now WADA is incompetent too? Wasting resources on an unwinnable case?

And yet WADA's track record in appeals is damn near perfect. Well over 90%. In fact closer to 100%.

And I wish you'd share your obvious knowledge of the vast body of information on the case which has never reached the public domain. Come on, share.

THE AFL is facing its most jittery and troublesome few months as it awaits the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s hearing on the Essendon doping scandal.

Bombers fans buoyed by the AFL Tribunal’s not guilty verdict are on high alert and in defensive mode. No matter what they claim about being dragged through an unnecessary new hearing, the CAS will not offer the 34 Essendon players any special considerations as it ponders their guilt or innocence over the needles program at the club in 2012.

Those sports fans who today feel numbed by the more than two years of hand wringing and ASADA investigations into the Bombers should be watching the next developments with renewed interest.

This hearing will not be conducted by one of their own. It will not be AFL people judging other AFL people on whether the club oversaw a program that involved the injection of 4000 needles in the 2012 season.

The CAS do not skirt around player welfare issues or offer special consideration to the AFL. They do not ask ASADA to jump through so many hoops that the burden of proof is impossible to scale.

The CAS makes it the sole responsibility of the athlete to prove his innocence without reasonable doubt. As it has been for every individual drug cheat snared by world doping agencies, these 34 will face the same grilling as a Russian hurdler, Chinese swimmer or American cyclist.

The evidence that the AFL said they simply could not accept will be fully admissible at the CAS. Written statements from suppliers and chemists, pretty much disregarded at the AFL tribunal, will be admissible.

Had to do a web search to find out who she is.
Ex Rugby Union blogger.
Jenny66 would know far more about the issue than Beccy.

You can get excited about WADAs case if you want, it's far better than watching Carlton play at the moment. I'm confident that no independent tribunal would be able to justify a positive finding and that the weakness of the case is well known at both ASADA and WADA. Perhaps they are simply using this as a means to subpoena Dank and get the 'truth', I'm not really sure of the motive.

Wat?! We were meandering discursively through matters great and small.

I thought so too. Your comment asking Armchair whether he posts as a civic duty is an HTB favourite, along with some of Percel's dad jokes. And chief deleting BF.

Pesky mods!

closer to 0% of Australian cases isn't it?

So typical, more interested in what can be proven rather than what really happened...

You only fear the truth.
