No, depends on the context. The players signed consents clearly indicating they did not want to participate in a wada banned doping program. Furthermore the leaders of the club repeatedly stated they wanted a safe and compliant program. If the players were given banned it was against the clubs wishes, either by deception or neglect. I personally wouldn't call that cheatingSo if the AFL states that the EFC used prohibited substances on their players, but couldn't identify which players were involved, then would you conclude that the EFC cheated ??? And what further penalties (if any) would you accept as appropriate if such a conclusion was made ???
