they didn't say it at all Tel. They tried to claim it is a matter of lack of evidence, which you have already said is complete bullshit.Well, yeah, it kinda is.
They stated that they will go after doping without fear or favour. The "as far as our funding allows" is rather obvious and unnecessary i would have thought.
The Chip/Oz led agenda that ASADA are the devil is ridiculous and an easy copout for those caught. EFC on a grand scale, but also some undertones of bleating from Footscray and Collingwood...and going back further, from the Saad camp.
ASADA are underfunded. They are fallible, like all.
But are they competant?...yeah they do their best. Without fear or favour.
It's just a job for them. A legislated job.
They were presented with a job to do that entailed uncovering a mass cover-up.
They got 36 out of 37 convictions.
The one they missed on was Dank for traficking....which saved Bock's slimy woman bashing, PED using butt.
Maybe you just don't see what I'm saying. You and I both know that's the reason, but read this thread. Does anyone else? I haven't seen it come up too often outside the usual small perceptive group of posters.
You rail about the claims asada are the devil; well they're no worse than the attitude that asada are the righteous and infallible hand of god perception that is the mainstream view in here.
If you want a sport free of doping (the generic you, not specific you) then start opening your eyes that the current system is never going to deliver that. It is all based on the same politics and funding that everything else is. Asada were a very sub-par under-funded anti-doping organisation led by cretins before EFC, and the situation after EFC clearly isn't much better
