You do know the AFL 3 strike rule is only for non-PED illicit drugs not on gameday?

You do know the AFL 3 strike rule is only for non-PED illicit drugs not on gameday?

The AFL brought in the 3 strike rule to cover up the games drug problems, and to protect the AFL brand
We all know that when a player get 2 strikes, he suddenly gets injuries, and miss's a few games.

Sure, except it doesn't relate to PED usage, so not sure how it's relevant to Pogba's case?

It's only for illicit drugs, and only if they're not pinged on gameday when they're classified as PEDs (refer Joel Smith).

I don't think we've had many examples of positive tests for actual PEDs in the AFL.

The only one I can think of is Keefe & Thomas with Clenbuterol, and they copped the full 2 year sanction.

Magpies Keeffe, Thomas accept two-year doping bans

Collingwood players Lachie Keeffe and Josh Thomas accept two-year bans for testing positive to clenbuterol.

Smith had a match-day positive for Cocaine which counts as performance enhancing and therefore isn't subject to the AFL illicit drugs policy, if he can't prove he took it not on match-day (e.g. took it Friday night out partying and it hadn't cleared his system yet) then he'll cop the full 2 year sanction for that. Plus the ancillary charges he's now copped.

Career threat: Melbourne’s Joel Smith faces two years on the sidelines for cocaine use

Melbourne utility Joel Smith has failed in his attempt to have his penalty for testing positive to cocaine on match day set at three months.

Incorrect.

If you are a drug cheat, that is, you are found to have used a PED, then it is a one strike policy.

How do so many people not get the difference?

How would treat Drug cheats then?

Seems to be in line with ASADA protocols - suspensions, and pretty lengthy ones at that. Willie Rioli the last and he got two years.

2 years is not long enough in my opinion.
You need to hit drug cheats hard.

* you are an idiot.

It's about using performance enhancing drugs and cheating.

You don't suspend a player for smoking a joint, 3 strikes is for recs.

What don't you understand about the 3 strike rule?
You seem to be putting it in the same sentence as cheating.

It's not for Performance Enhancing Drugs.

Are you *ing stupid?

People are idiots and idiots who use the “Essendon are drug cheats” mantra are just that. Idiots. See OP

Can you explain why your club destroyed all evidence of what was injected into your players?

Did wada find something? Well colour me shocked.. hear i was thinking all these decades later we were found with needles sticking out of our arms

 

[Aussie in exile]

WADA didn’t find anything so yeah, play on

No because your club destroyed all evidence of what was injected into your players.
Even you players admitted to being injected, but they didn't know what with.
The darkest day in Australian sports history without a doubt
