Collingwood’s Josh Thomas, Lachie Keeffe accept two-year bans for taking banned drug clenbuterol

[baldandbroke]

Really glad this thread has given the Essendon supporters somewhere to vent, but this is not the same as the Essendon situation. Not better or worse, just massively different.

 

[Chameleon75]

Buckley setting standards that players couldn't met so had to go "outside" for help?

That's how it usually works, no need to bring it in house.

 

[Brighton_Diggins]

so what? You said he never tested positive. You were utterly wrong.

sure he did, but they didn't ping him that way. he was pinged thru testimonies

 

[NT.Thunder]

Looking at our board, most and if not ALL are united that if these guys are found guilty of taking a banned substance they should immediately be delisted. This isn't about Essendon and this isn't about Collingwood. This is about sending a clear message to the AFL, its players, supporters, sponsors and administration that this standard isn't acceptable and won't be tolerated.

Collingwood supporters should be commended for having such views and taking a no tolerance approach rather than the "but" "its ambiguous" "we didn't know" "it was him" approach.

Players certainly have rights and to me these rights are wavered immediately the moment you decide to take a banned, non prescribed or controversial substance.

Unless these players can prove that this was resultant of some act they were unaware of and unintentional they should be struck from our list.

What, Collingwood supporters disgusted by their players and wanting them out of the club?

Yeah, I can see why you'd be trying to wave that under peoples noses compared to the Essendon 'cling to any and every possible straw' reaction.

how do you defend a positive test, out of interest?

 

[Argy]

hey can anyone pick this quote:

"you can't catch me, I'm too smart"

????

Dank?

 

[Crawb]

Solid night for Buckley to debut on AFL360.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

They have confirmed the 2 names and that an A sample has tested positive to Clenbuterol

No statement about their stance of drugs in sport .... anything?

No, make ridiculous and stupidly premature statements about somebody's club, and see how they react.

i thought peptides were better for pectorals. but goshes paddock shirts off homo eroticism pics with brodie holland paul licuria shane woewoewoewoewodin would indicate bucks know pectorals, and androgens.

sorry Harry O

I need to finish up my beginner cat and get onto remedial cat.

No idea about this one.

 

[Seadog]

A number of Collingwood players were supposedly threatened with contract termination / delisting by the coaching staff if fitness and skinfold standards did not improve.

Push a man into a corner...

Yeah, makes sense. How do I have good time partying in the off season but keep my skinfolds down. I'd say they are 2 of many.

 

[Art Corvelay]

hey can anyone pick this quote:

"you can't catch me, I'm too smart"

????

That statement is still accurate, he's not being caught

 

[Marc_Remillard]

Ok, for the thousandth time YES. HE. DID.

got off on a tech.

Well, that's not technically correct. He got off because he donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the agency responsible for the testing...

Ordering vodka soda instead of beer would be equally effective.

With a good squeeze of fresh lime. I love a beer but geez this def does help keep the weight of

 

[Cylon7]

To be fair to Keefe & Thomas, if you had to turn up to the club everyday and see a perfectly formed specimen like this as your coach, you'd jump on the juice too.

Certainly not a free range chicken.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

everyone knows this. Wtf are you trying to say? Apart from being wrong on the no positive test thing?

Some articles that it might be related to could be:

Also a warning from Wada way back in 2011:
http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2014/apr/23/michael-rogers-uci-contaminated-meat

"Wada issued a warning to athletes in 2011, telling them to eat only in approved restaurants and cafeterias when competing in China and Mexico due to contamination cases in those countries."

So this Collingwood pair been to China or Mexico recently??? I'm guessing not likely.

No, I only heard via SEN

Who are you?

I haven't see you post here before?

 

[GarnerSmash]

What a pair of ******* numbnuts.

 

[Dan Cooper]

Only when the coach and the rest of the back ground staff are implicated in it.

Positive tests at Essendon zero

2 Collingwood players have tested positive - that's what the thread is about

 

[Armchair Critic]

The tour de swiss swept under the mat positive test?

It was not a positive, it was suspicious

 

[blackcat]

So this Collingwood pair been to China or Mexico recently??? I'm guessing not likely.

good post 61_99. I am starting to like the succour mom demographic
