Mega Thread AFL to investigate Essendon for controversial fitness program - PART3

[ManWithNoName]

That's his job. to find out though.

Wouldn't have thought the duties of club doctor extend to testing substances and running WADA style drugs tests.

 

[ManWithNoName]

I'm sure if there was a problem and there was evidence left behind they would have the results back by now.

don't think there would be evidence left behind though.

So by your logic then there's no problem?

 

[whiteoak]

Watch out for them pedpites!

 

[Jesse Custer]

You never know. Look at that League club that found all those urine samples.

 

[Higgs Boson]

OK so now we all understand why Jack Watts would be getting injections in his abdomen.

Joke's getting old bro, real old. Unless you're in the Bay. And this ain't the Bay

 

[Jesse Custer]

My inside source tells me that Richmond is the unnamed second club, and mentions that the investigation concerns a "recent, high-profile, high draft pick".

Heard that too.

 

[ESKIE]

at any rate, who calls ASADA down to say "hey... come and look at my legal supplement program"?

Ha ha ha, nice Lance

Criminal investigation and they still don;t get it

 

[Gus Poyet]

Wouldn't have thought the duties of club doctor extend to testing substances and running WADA style drugs tests.

Jarrad Waite said in an interview that players (Carlton) have taken supplements they bought online and that everyone has to take it to the club Dr who then checks it off that what's in it is OK with the guidelines.

That's the Carlton procedure, I'd assume most clubs would have their Dr perform a similar role.

You could chuck the ingredients into Google yeah, that's easy enough. But I'm talking about actually testing the substances. Which is what I assume ASADA is doing.

 

[juzzo]

Could this be because the player has either changed clubs since the alleged incident or retired and they need to clarify which club(s) can or should be informed?

Nope, AFL doesn't know who the player is yet.

 

[Pie eyed]

These pedpite things don't show up in drug tests, according to 7.30 last night. So I'm guessing it was "Here's what he gave our guys, was there any pedpites in it?".

What is "pedpite"?

 

[Jesse Custer]

Nope, AFL doesn't know who the player is yet.

So they say.

Strikes me given the Wade Lees case that is an odd way to do things.

I would have thought that rather than source supplements online the sensible and safer thing to do would be to have all supplements supplied by the club.

this rumors has been done to death. its false. move on already

They could be nothing more than some squirrel nut sack or frog testes that's supposed to have some beneficial effect.

I suspect they are using someone a little more reliable than a random on ebay or elsewhere on the net. Somewhere like http://www.mrsupplement.com.au/quality-assurance who have QA in place.

1 5 yr old jar of urine, good fact checking

 

[juzzo]

So they say.

Pretty simple for the ACC to dispute Demetriou, they have no interest in upholding the AFL's PR.

Sheesh docker supporters...
Another muppet from another board was trying to tell me because 'he knew' 20 eagle players are under investigation.

pathetic supporters.

 

[Percel]

Guessing a bloke like Doc Reid might not have the technology on hand to test substances for legality and what's in them etc.

I'm into complete guessing territory here by the way. I'm not claiming to have any secret source or anything.

Probs not mate, $1000 a throw, im not sure they would have the money, let alone the technology.

And it shouldnt be his job anyway, too many doors left open. Reckon the Doc is real clean in all of this, he's solid.

Just what do you bring to this site apart from the constant childish, obsessed shots at the Dockers and our supporters, and lame-brained, border-line ******ed conspiracy theories about the Victorian media?

You sir, are an arse.

And you can't even read. That was NOT what was stated at all you cretin.

Which if you paint in the wrong way could be blown out of all proportion....

Plus they'd want independent verification.

according to caroline she has a player on record stating that he was injected into the stomache by dank himself at the football club. she also has a player on record stating that he received an IV drip at an off site clinic

both would mean curtains for essendon
