Play Nice The CAS Appeal thread - update: appeal fails (11/10/16)

[FootyGeek]

Mitchell and Cotchin might care.

To be fair I suspect Cotchin's hair may be performance enhancing and illegal under WADA S0 provisions.

Will be interesting to see what the league do now with the tainted Brownlow.

Just don't ask Jobe to make the decision, it'll take him another year to make up his mind.

 

[Laphroaig]

Lol

Can you give us an insight into his finances?

You know these things so well... bahahaha

Ahh the empty vessel. Still nothing. Just noise.

Ever had an actual thought in your entire life Bunk?

 

[Spongebob]

Seems the decision been leaked...

Chip is brushing up on his German...

My google grandmother tells me he can name the book:

die gerade dope

efa

Sorry wrong thread lol

 

[Boxhead_31]

Surely Jobe has to hand it back voluntarily?

If he had any integrity, he would be the first one through the AFL doors tomorrow handing it back

The 2012 tour was riddled with drugs. Why are Mitchell and Cotchin undeserving of the medal given that they played out the season without an unfair advantage?

Because to be totally fair they would have to go back and annul all of Watsons votes round by round and re do all the votes. The games he got votes in need to be re-voted on

 

[Boxhead_31]

So would now be the time Dankie has been waiting for to unleash his evidence that will clear the players?

 

[Boxhead_31]

Because to be totally fair they would have to go back and annul all of Watsons votes round by round and re do all the votes. The games he got votes in need to be re-voted on

Do they do that with players who get suspended during the year?

 

[Hearts to hearts]

They'd have to redo every Essendon game by that standard, which is silly. Give it to Cotchin and Mitchell. Should be like Tallent's medal.

Chip to be found in contempt of the Swiss court?

 

[Boxhead_31]

My Tea Cup looks to be a bit stormy.

Thats load of Bunk

 

[Muggs]

Chip to be found in contempt of the Swiss court?

No AFL.com.au also has a copy they contacted the court who lifted the embargo.

So he's safe.

Anyway suspect it be the leakor not leakee who be in contempt for breaking the embargo.

Well if that is the case then have at it:

 

[kazzooka]

The Brownlow Medal is meant to be awarded to the Best and Fairest player in a season. Why should 2012 be any different?

It's meant to go to the fairest and best. Fairest comes first as it is the most important and first criteria.

 

[Ron The Bear]

Australia needs a sporting win. Watson to be publicly defrocked during the lunch break of the Boxing Day Test.

 

[Laphroaig]

Always going to lose the appeal. WADA is European law no English law.
English law - innocent until proven guilty.
European law - guilty until you can prove you're innocent.

Judge: What were in the injections?
Player: I don't know.

Where TF did you get that one from? Bruce Francis?

"European Law" is a broad term.

But the principle difference, where it does occur, is that "European Law" charges the judiciary to seek the truth.

Whereas English Law is a bare knuckle fistfight between lawyers where the judge is the referee.

If I believed myself to be innocent I know where I'd like to be.

 

[HairyO]

It was a failure of prosecution, not judgment.

ASADA presented a poor case that was rightly thrown out. The tribunal did their job.

WADA took the same evidence and presented a much more appropriate case and succeeded.

The "links in a chain" stuff was never going to hold up. "Strands in a cable" did.

Jones, Nixon and Henwood could only judge the case put in front of them, that was their job.

Its hard to get a guilty verdict when innocence was preordained.

Maybe in future we need to have an emergency vote recorded and held in reserve, in case this sorry situation occurs again.
But then, what if the emergency vote getter is found to be a drug cheat?
Geez Louise!

 

[ziad]

Dont think it is over still have the coaching staff and club to be ASADAed

who was the coach back in the dark days?

 

[Muggs]

Well if that is the case then have at it:

So basically players defence team stuffed up at CAS and did not formally challenge the jurisdiction and procedure...

And for good measure even if players defence team did formally challenge there were no grounds to challenge on...
