Ryan Crowley tests positive to banned substance (Opposition supporters tread carefully)

[Taylor]

For a game against GWS last year in round 17, it would be something to help recovery and not a performance enhancing. He got 9 touches that day and didn't have a hard tagging role according to fanfooty.

He was running with Tom Scully if I remember correctly.

 

[basashi]

Don't Essendonise this one.

All turns on the facts.

 

[Harry Reems]

It was as substance contained within a painkilling tablet not prescribed by the club.

Meanwhile Ben Cousins attempts to enlist in the SAS.

 

[Lach72]

What substance?

 

[Nuggets73]

The rumour was they had the flu v the Saints. One too many cold and flu tablets the week before for Crowley.

I sincerely hope you are right ... Love Crowley and the way he goes about it, be an absolute shame to see him go out like this.
Lets not jump the gun, wait and see what he tested positive for

Hahaha ... That was pretty funny!

 

[Taylor]

Oxycodone and oxymorphone will trigger a result in match day tests.

I believe any opiate based pain killer is going to trigger a result in match day testing.

There is a case of this in the Eastern states lower leagues, he got 15 months suspension.

 

[dockshark]

Do I get a prize !!

Yes. You get a prize for being so lonely that you have to quote yourself.

 

[Randomizor]

Weren't a couple of our games being looked into? I remember reading a tweet about it and nothing more. Was this one of them I wonder?

 

[kBuck]

What substance?

Main board seems to think a pain killer not prescribed by the club doctor.

Do you mean a false positive or just a positive?

Edit: Just read your other bits. Bugger.

 

[Jade]

If I could offer any advice, it's to wait for the facts. Don't let the sensationalist media guide your thinking.

Shit news.

 

[Eons]

Now Crowley knows what it's like to get pinched.

 

[RickSanchez]

Well I'm convinced.

Bush did 9/11.

 

[Harry Reems]

Rosich "The banned substance was a pain-killer. It was not provided by a club doctor or staff member"

 

[Doss]

I know the Essendon thing will be taking up most of their attention but I can't understand why Crowley still hasn't been given his hearing six months after a positive test. Surely in the case of a positive test reading, the player in question is deserving of a quick hearing. Six months later is not quick.

Anyway, I sympathise for obvious reasons. Good luck and yes, it would be sad to see Crowley's career end like this.

he always had more class than most, looks like Ryan is caught up in a pain killer issue, vague and problematic I guess.

 

[Moo]

Let's just make sure that we treat this case like we would if it involved any other club.

At a minimum- it looks like very unprofessional conduct.

 

[peppy la pew]

Stronzo will the Freo board be following the Dons' board lead and having a Freo Supporters Only SALADA Thread Opposition Supporters Will Be Carded?

Make it happen mods, for the lulz

Except everyone is allowed to comment and likes will be given to the most ridiculous opposition post.

 

[Lost_Deputy]

Stevie J spiked his drink, no doubt in my mind

This isn't a joke when I say this but they are busy with something else at the moment.

 

[Unique Name]

Why was he sourcing pain killers from elsewhere?

 

[Doss]

This isn't a joke when I say this but they are busy with something else at the moment.

Not that hard to fit in a separate hearing for one player, I wouldn't have thought.

I'm not carping Freo or Crowley here. I'm carping the AFL. Crowley deserves to argue his case and learn his fate quickly.

Senior player sourcing pain killers from outside the club? 31 years old? in the system since 2002?

One day you clowns are going to take responsibility for what you have done.
If Crowley took a banned substance without defensible cause, then he will be suspended. He knew the rules and took a stupid risk by taking an unauthorised substance.
