Richmond fined by ASADA for neglecting administrative obligations

Unable to keep accurate books in relation to drug testing, not having a paper trail didn't do Essendon any favours, and it is good to see they are consistent in keeping Richmond under check as well.

Other clubs have been fined for similar indiscretions, however, this is not the first time Richmond has been found guilty of such carelessness. For what is such a simple administrative error, to make it twice shows a general disregard for anti-doping policies and a failure to learn from one's past mistakes (similar Hawkins' inability to realise jumper punches are a think of the past).

What other administrative errors are yet to be uncovered at the Richmond Football Club? Moving a decimal point, removing a digit, omitting significant details...all may seem rather benign in isolation, but could be utilised in a manner that hides a greater secret.

Youre a better poster than this. Keep the obvious trolling in the bay

Not updating a secondary database is hardly the same as a systematic doping regime.

Don't be naive, it's EXACTLY the same.

 

[Cleavy]

suspended fines are a complete joke.

 

[NaturalDisaster]

It's happened to a few clubs in the last couple of years and there was no thread about it here... WHy are we any different?

and people wonder why smasha uses that stupid hashtag

 

[Ron The Bear]

So we forgot to tell ASADA that Dusty's moved from Brighton to Toorak. Big deal.

At least we don't have any suspect premierships to lose.

 

[juss]

All our players should be banned for 10 years.

 

[citizen-erased]

Headline 10/10. Actual impact 0/10.

Although if we entered Fantasy land - I'd love for to be moved up to 6th to play West Coast at home rather than Sydney away.

for Melbourne to get in now, but then end up playing Sydney @ the SCG.....that's quite a rollercoaster.

Who gives a fat rats arse. Let's just focus on playing ****ing football for once.

 

[Ancient Tiger]

The addresses were only of Hypermed clinic and a Botox clinic run by MRC peptides.


Nothing to see here.

Maybe you can write to the afl and petition them to move the game to kardinia park as punishment this Friday?

As repeat offenders for this type of incident, it makes me realise why there was a push to remove Richmond's board last year. There is not much one can do about contracted players and staff, however a swift clean out of administrators and leaders is an absolute must to ensure rules are not repeatedly broken, bringing the club further into disrepute. Once is a mistake, twice is foolishness.

Haha not sure if you're trolling or a halfwit, more likely the latter

Tbh if Geelong supporters really want to play at KP this week, I'd suggest moving the current match up would be easier to do in 4 days than getting a team excluded from finals due to a minor oversight in club administration. But, hey, it's your call.

I'd like Hird's view on this

 

[Sherrinator]

As if they would disclose Dusty's address.

Might as well trade him while the cat is in the bag.

 

[Sherrinator]

It's ok.

Richmond produced a photo of a print out of a photocopy of the address form, to prove that they changed the addresses long ago.

ASADA were just being typically difficult by not believing it was legit, as they're not very trusting, for whatever reason.

They went to the effort to photograph a printout, but not scan it into their filing system.

Sounds believable.
