In AFL you are also a role model and in the public spotlight which means you need to make sure that you hold yourself to the highest possible standards. Willing to bet Gold Coast have had a gut full of Harley Bennell and the baggage he is carrying around.1) In AFL you are a public figure. Straight up things will be handled differently. If you can't see that then I can't help you
If you took the drugs a week back you still took the drugs and the likelihood is you will do it again.2) it's better/easier to have a zero tolerance policy than to try to distinguish those who are 'under the influence' and those who merely tested positive after drugs a week back
Actually it isn't easier. Professional staff in mining and construction of almost exclusively located at a different site. This means additional costs of testing at the company offices which are elsewhere and the additional costs of those test.3) it's easier to have a zero tolerance policy across the entire company than it is to distinguish between 'dangerous' jobs (actual miners, machine operators) and not dangerous jobs (office workers). But to compare this to another company is fair dinkum ******ed.
But he didn't test positive so it's not a strike according to the AFLOuch!
That's 5 lines he's got racked up (that can be seen on camera)
I agree, but it hurts the club and its 'family' image. Alot.Meh. Few lines of coke never hurt anybody.
Didn't Libba and Tuck get a strike despite not testing positive?But he didn't test positive so it's not a strike according to the AFL
Suggestion is he got a better deal with cops who are interested in dealersI haven't been following this story closely, and tried to find the answer on the first few pages of this thread, but why has Hunt outed his former teammates?
He hasn't technically made it public. He named them in the 'private' QCCC investigation which I assume he thought would remain confidential. That information has since been leaked to the tabloids by someone inside the investigation itself.I haven't been following this story closely, and tried to find the answer on the first few pages of this thread, but why has Hunt outed his former teammates?
Both got charged by police for being in possession, so pretty hard for the AFL to dodge not charging them. This is just a photo and he hasn't been charged so working off the AFL Anti-doping decision it is not conclusive evidence that it was his so he won't get a strike.Didn't Libba and Tuck get a strike despite not testing positive?
You reap what you sow AFL and others.
Just a pity they didn't listen to Dale Lewis and Aker years ago when they said there was a problem with drugs.....instead they chose to deny and ridicule them for saying such a thing...
....fast forward and we have a problem that is out of control. Surprise, surprise!!!!......not.
I think the real question is why tf you'd dog all your mates like that.
There are a couple of blokes who used to play for Collingwood who would disagree with that I reckon.I agree, but it hurts the club and its 'family' image. Alot.
Plenty from Essendon too I imagine.There are a couple of blokes who used to play for Collingwood who would disagree with that I reckon.
“The disappointing thing is that sections of the media are making me out like a snitch or a rat and that I dobbed my mates in to get myself out of trouble,” he said. “That’s just not the truth.
“If you lie to the Queensland CCC about who you were with you can go to jail. If you refuse to answer you can go to jail. If you choose not to answer a question you’re locked up until you do. It’s the law.”
