Scandal Ginnivan suspended after been caught with illicit substance

[Orange Agent]

Maybe filming over the top of the stall.

How would it show who it's was? This is the Collingwood PR version of events.

 

[sthmelb_dimmies]

colour me surprised

 

[masai tu]

FFS what is it with people doing drugs and getting caught on camera.

Before partying, ...... put your f....ing phones away.

Partying 101.

Probably bring Johnson in now and go with the three tall forwards. Johnson Checkers and McStay..

Collingwood never stated how he was filmed. Just that the media had received footage.

 

[Osho]

It'd be tough to resist the pies as a young fella, bali trips, groping, powder. Much more attractive than the tiges and their anal / penial invasions or saints and their dwarf fests. Pies should make it part of their USPs.

 

[Tigerandy63]

If only he ducked one second before getting nailed.

 

[Fruit]

Penalised again for being caught high.

 

[kaiserchief13]

He wouldn't have been doing it otherwise.

Yeah but generally if caught doing something like this, the player would say "I made an error in judgement to consume the product. I will be better behaved in future", something like that. Instead Ginnivan points the finger at the video being made rather than what he was doing.

Lol 3/4 of the players in afl would get on the bags. Dumb to get caught but slight beat up

Also the percentage would be higher for non AFL players, much higher.

 

[ThePhantom777]

Ginnivan has done the wrong thing but are you allowed to film strangers in the toilet these days? Wtf is wrong with society?

Doubt it tbf, sport is almost a perfect storm in having a good amount of money at a young age.

 

[Dangas]

He got caught. I'm sure he isn't the only one in the AFL but media making it bigger than it has to be.

Drugs aren’t expensive. Not every drug taken is cocaine.
Most 22 year old males take drugs regularly, semi regularly or have done a drug. I extremely doubt the same percentage of AFL players do.

“Hey can you look after my anti inflammatory bag while I’m gone for the weekend mate?”

“Yeah no worries Wayne”.

Naive young man Jackie boy.

I was specifically referring to cocaine.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

There was a time when this may have surprised me, but hearing an AFL footballer caught using illicit drugs is hardly earth-shattering news these days.

 

[brutus76]

if he was in the privacy of his own home - no one knows.

Stupid enough to do it in public (albeit a public bathroom/restroom) - silly little Ginni

 

[Andronicus]

But he is truly sorry he got caught.

 

[RAPPA]

It's not the taking of drugs that's surprising, but rather the stupidity of getting caught. Dumb dumbs gonna be dumb dumbs.

 

[amazingjoshy]

Journos taking the high road (like in this interview) on this is the hardest bit to take imo

If u have any journo mates you know....

 

[sameoldsameold]

so do we work under AFL or under ASADA/WADA sanctions 2022

As per Code Article 10.2.4.1, where the Anti-Doping Rule Violation involves a Substance of Abuse and “the Athlete can establish that any ingestion or Use occurred Out-of-Competition and was unrelated to sport performance, then the period of Ineligibility shall be three (3) months. In addition, the period of Ineligibility calculated may be reduced to one (1) month if the Athlete or other Person satisfactorily completes a Substance of Abuse treatment program approved by the Anti-Doping Organization with Results Management responsibility”.

 

[FrustratedTiger]

HS says the media were sent it so I'm guessing since they didn't pay he will release now.

Who said they didn't pay? Channel 7 had the exclusive mea culpa. What did that cost them? Making the video they just paid for disappear?

 

[1970crow]

Are we sure it wasn’t crushed up Nurofen?

surely just some of that weizn pulver stuff.

Few rumours floating around about a betting scandal too
