Ch 7 reporting could have been a slap on wrist for a panicked mistake . What is it now then ?

A slap on the willy.
 
Well the saying of people in glass houses shouldn't throw stones should apply to Geelong Supporters.

I remember Gary Ablett Senior partly being responsible for the death of a 19 year girl as a result of a drug overdose. I wonder how many people remember this incident

It’s the Freo fans getting on their high horse that get me, they’re still the only WA club to have two players caught either with drugs or fail a drug test while on their playing list.

Tampering with a test is a bit worse than avoiding one although the motivation is the same. 12 months at best but more likely 24. The only mitigating factor is it seems to have been ham fisted spur of the moment thing and not premeditated plan to fake a test.
Is it worse if it comes back clean though? Some may call me naive in considering that possibility but I think the distinction is important.

If Willie's other sample comes back clean there's no way that is more serious than avoiding a test. At least there is a definite proof that whatever he did wasn't motivated by an attempt to fool the test.

If it comes back positive for illicit drugs it is about as serious as what Whitfield did and if it comes back positive for PEDs it's off the charts levels of seriousness.

That's the way I see it anyway.
 
'Sources familiar with the matter confirmed that follow-up tests were conducted by ASADA to establish whether Rioli had performance-enhancing drugs in his system. Those tests found no evidence of a prohibited substance.'

- From the Chip Le Grand article.

That seems fairly clear cut. On one hand I'm happy it's not likely to be PEDs, but on the other what a stupid, stupid mistake.

Oh Willie 😥

Dont worry about it mate- take it in for what it is- a supporter base so devoid of any football joy or success all they can do is try to convince themselves that the opposition having a tough time is a win for them. They are only spiteful, vindictive campaigners because deep down they hate themselves and understand that they are truly a subservient species not fit to breath the same air as the lowest of WC supporters.
 
I think I could write 10 pages on my emotions over this, (like many of us)

I'm in the angry phase, I am not feeling sympathetic, after the crap we went through years ago, the next player to fall foul, was going to cause major grief for this club, I am heartbroken it is Willie.

I'm not interested in 'support' your major obligation to a club that pays you hundreds of thousands of dollars, is to not shit on it.

I want any new players interviewed by Alejandro Sosa from Scarface, I want him to sit them down, eyeball them, and get the point across.

"Don't you fv*k me Willie, don't you ever fv*k me"

any transgressors, get a helicopter flight.

This stuff, stops people following this club.
 
It would have been a HUGE mistake in my case.

I dunno... ASADA has leaked what the officer present thought of ol' mate

Sorry to intrude, but just popping in to wish the best for William. He's a legend of a person and there's absolutely no doubt he and the family are doing it tough at the moment. Whether people feel that's through his own fault or whatever, Willy needs our support! Best of luck with the rest of the finals, Eagles!
