No Oppo Supporters CAS hands down guilty verdict - Players appealing - Dank shot - no opposition - (cont in pt.2)

I imagine it'll come down to cbf

They got 12 months of free time, might as well go to Switzerland.

Plenty of good hiking to keep them fit...

I hope Jobe walks into AFL House, and throws the medal as hard as he can at Gills head, leaving a permanent mark, so every morning he has a reminder of the amount of a mess he and vlad created

Read the Herald Sun article called "
Essendon players’ ‘lack of curiosity’ condemned at Court of Arbitration for Sport"

seems like he gave evidence, it happened to be favourable towards WADA.

and engage in some casual arson?

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

You can be the club right now will be working their butts off to settle an agreement where the players won't sue.

 

[theboxmike]

WADA now have their precedent based on assumption. The level of proof they need to nail athletes in the future will be that much easier. Glad we could be their pawn in the doping game.

It's so ****ed, we think he's guilty but we don't have any real proof, BAN HIM!

 

[bombadeer]

AFAIK CAS will be determining the guilt of the players on the basis that they are "Comfortably Satisfied" that banned drugs were taken.

It's entirely possible that WADA may, on the basis of a failed prosecution, recommend that in the future the bar be lowered to "Gut Feel" that banned drugs were taken - but we're not there yet, so you can rest easy.

I would like to take this opportunity to publicly retract this statement - we have arrived.

 

[DapperDon]

and engage in some casual arson?

As long as they are neutral about what they set alight.

 

[ManWithNoName]

Reading that article about Reid, they didn't tell him about the injections and just said they were getting "vitamin supplements".

I struggle to believe that many players were so stupid/naive. The more that comes out the less sympathy I have for them.

 

[fairlight_cmi]

Everyone calling for Jobe's medal but not Cousins'?

 

[Rustler]

Like I said, doing so voluntarily is like admitting guilt, I wouldn't want him to do it.

And make Cousins hand his back, make Brisbane Lions hand back the 2001 premiership..... where does it end

 

[vaughany]

It didn't help when Bruce Reid gave evidence for WADA against the players that's for sure

What the...is this printed somewhere?

Assuming it was the truth, good on him.

Why would Cousins' be stripped? He didn't take PED's, let alone was charged and found guilty.

 

[Rustler]

For those of you who aren't looking forward to the upcoming season just remember Game Of Thrones starts on the April 8.

Just let me know what the #### has game of thrones got to do with this thread?

Really?

He has gone on record stating his drug use was wild during those years. The drugs he took were also on the banned list. I cannot see how that's not relevant.

He took a banned substance. Was suspended, therefore he should hand back his medal if Jobe hands back his. Maybe Jobe can hand back both of theirs and flip two birds to Gil. 2 for the price of 1. I hate Kyle Reimers!

None of what he took (to our knowledge) was performance enhancing. If you start taking Brownlow's away for illicit drug use you're opening up an absurdly large can of worms.

Eh?

If you want it straight from the horse's mouth, it's also in the "Arbitral Award" (i.e. CAS' statement of their findings and how they got them)... List item #79 (starts at the bottom of page 11) has Dr Bruce Reid listed as a witness 'for WADA'.

Are the substances on the prohibited list?

Idk. Do we start blocking Brownlow's to people with one strike? Two? How would this work exactly?

Well guess what Essendons stuck with and it hasn't been proven that we took anything.

We are the can the sh## comes in man. We wear the sh## and other teams get off Scott free. I'm sic of it.
