Fletcher not allowed to watch his son play

[BF Tiger]

If Fletcher is well and truly retired he could just show up at his son's game. If WADA/ASADA rule that he is not allowed then his 2 year ban gets reset. He can repeat indefinitely.

But if he wants a job within in the system at any time...

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

He cheated. These are the consequences.

Correct. In the racing codes, if you get caught cheating and warned off, you aren't allowed to attended race tracks, training facilities, the whole gamut.

 

[Herne Hill Hammer]

dustin has to wear the consequences of his actions, although i still have some empathy for him in this situation. also have a massive amount of compassion for his son and family and what they have been going through not just with this particular circumstance but the last 3 years.

I don't have much sympathy for them, if any at all, least of all for the likes of Fletcher. After 20 years in the system and so much education, he deserves none.

 

[DapperJong]

Pretty simple equation

 

[Lockyer24]

He shouldn't be able to watch his son for 2 years

 

[Boxhead_31]

Yeah cos he broke the law.

Sporting law, yes yes he did.

Question, how many times will the Calder Cannons play at Tulla this year?

Question, how many times will the Calder Cannons play at Tulla this year?

in a practice match

Exactly, lot of people getting upset about something that won't happen again this year.
Dustin will be able to go along to every proper game and watch his son play.

Shhhh. That doesn't help them flog their "poor, brave players" line.

It does point out what a stupid rule it is.

Rules need to be clear and not wishy washy. Do you propose that the rule should list a number of exceptions which include going to see your son in a practise match game?

Glad you ain't a legislator

Ah yes, rules a rule, no matter how stupid. I know, you guys keep telling me.

No it doesn't. It just highlights why athletes shouldn't dope. Consequences for your actions are a bitch. Welcome to life.

 

[threesixpio]

In my experience rules which are unclear are more stupid. That's my point and a point which is not about me being one of "you guys".

 

[telsor]

Ah yes, rules a rule, no matter how stupid. I know, you guys keep telling me.

But it's not stupid. He's not allowed to be in that place. Simple, concise, easy to understand and enforce.


That the punishment might inconvenience the cheat in minor ways that go beyond the original intent is neither a massive concern nor cause for a massive list of exceptions to be written in, complicating the rule and generating loopholes that can be exploited.

Holy shit here they come

Who here mentioned perspective the other day? Let's view life through legislation. What a nice life.

Yes, perspective....A convicted CHEAT can't watch one practice match.

This is not a major problem. Certainly not enough to go around changing the rules for.

If it was a big problem, then I'm sure there is a mechanism for exceptions to be made.

Are you going to be ok if I continue to think the rule is stupid?

Viewing life through legislation is pretty standard for me. (That's not even a slight compliment to myself ...)

 

[BF Tiger]

Or no matter how stupid those who choose to break them are.
