Hmmm 12 months. Wonder if WADA sees this as inappropriate.
Dunno whether he will play again.

one would expect him to not play for freo again, but could be a possibility on another team

This isn't an ASADA suspension - is is an AFL doping tribunal suspension - ASADA can appeal it though I believe

Gaining a 50m penalty is nowhere near taking banned drugs. Please stay on topic.

How? Saad took a stimulant with performance enhancing effects. Painkillers are banned under the code because of addiction risks, not because they confer any performance enhancement.

Not ASADA, AFL Tribunal...
I agree it should have been longer. 2 years should be standard, with reductions only for rare and exceptional cases. (and higher for blatant ones)

Painkillers are also performance enhancing...They can help yourself push harder, etc.

How? Opiates negatively impact athletic performance.
The reason why opiates are banned is because of their addictive affects.

Effectively his football career is over. The AFL should offer him immunity to reveal all about the other drug cheats at Fremantle.
A whole year out for taking a pain killer. Seriously ridiculous.

WADA doesn't care about addictive, if that was all it was, it wouldn't be on their list.
The AFL is the one with the illegal/recreational drugs policy.
With hindsight would the Bombers have been happy with 12 months running through season 2013, thus avoiding three (or more) years of turmoil, the potential for future bans still a possibility, millions of dollars wasted and still having Albert as coach?
