On that, I assume she has been listing it on all her drug test forms for years. A little 'heads-up' might have been nice.

Hell they could have even listed it by all its names that it goes by. That would be you know, the professional thing to do.

I'm kind of hoping that because its for a medical condition and there is a long history of taking it that there will be a lenient/non existent penalty.


I certainly am so happy that this rampant Drug cheater is now getting punished. /s

Why would she get a tarnished reputation now, when she has been taking it for medical purposes for so long?

because she is going to be hit with a doping ban which could potentially end her career.

She is now in the eyes of all a "drug cheat".

Just like our players are now drug cheats despite any extenuating circumstances (being doped without their knowledge)

Not mine. Some people will say that, obviously. But you'd think most people will apply common sense here.

This shows just how stupid the whole WADA code is, Maria just like the Essendon players have been caught out by paranoia caused by the East Germans and Chinese, clearly WADA are all over the shop, why was this drug acceptable before January 1 but not after, yet 12 months earlier Serena Williams called for a coffee to wake her self up, clearly the WADA body needs to be cleaned up.

Maria will sadly be called a cheat just like muppets call the Essendon 34 cheats, the whole international sports drug code is a joke.

We have been conditions by the crap at Essendon but a few years ago the Australian response would have been to dismiss Maria as a cheat.

Muppets are not known for thinking too deeply, basically Australians have a long tradition of being zero tolerance on drugs in sport.

Officially she is.

Not sure what from the past three years makes you think that.

Officially, so it Warnie- but when you take out footy-lines, no one actually gives a shit.

WADA can tick another big scalp.
Such good work they are doing, really getting in deep and digging out these cheats.

They should all pat themselves on the back for another bit hit for world peace.

I was thinking the same this morning. Ings said that ~2% of all WADA drug tests last year tested positive for this stuff, so I was wondering if WADA did the right thing & informed that 2% (preferably by registered mail) that the drug they had been using would now be banned from Jan 1...

That said, I would suspect she has been using it for 10 years because some smart cookie way back when told her it was a legal way to boost oxygen levels or whatever it's good for, so she had an advantage until the rest of the pack caught up recently, hence the drug's banning. She cant complain too much, it's done the job for her.

Classic Ings. Getting his media hat on straight away.

Flogs gonna flog.

Although the more I read about it, the less sympathetic I get.

Strict liability and all.

what?!

You continually spout about how the players are guilty, wada are awesome, and efc need to take responsiblity; yet now you are more than happy to give the benefit of the doubt to a high profile tennis player who for some reason has been using a diabetes drug for 10 years that is now banned due to its performance enhancing qualities??

Truly remarkable. Wow.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

yes, you must be a flog to believe that a top line tennis player is using a performance enhancing substance to enhance performance?

What, because she's hella hot? Or a woman?

 

[rumply]

Cynic.

Yes, I find it hard not to be but good luck to her if she legally gained an advantage over many of her competitors for a decade. To be caught out now was a fairly dumb move though

 

[Buttsoup_Barnes]

*sigh* I knew it would happen and I'm stupid for falling for it but **** I'm still pissed. We're not a classy organisation you see, we're a callous, evil drug den that has no regard for decency I mean, why bother wearing a top hat when it's gonna fall over from bending over to get ravaged.

Calm your ****ing farm dude. Good grief.

When I posted that, it was reported as a drug that had been perfectly legal until about 3 weeks before she got done. So to that extent, I really didn't see her as a "drug cheat", no. To me, "cheat" implies a deliberate effort and desire to break the rules. Based on what had been reported at that time, it was a drug she'd been taking for an illness, which I accepted, so I personally didn't think that the case with her.

Since then, what I'm reading about the drug it seems maybe that wasn't the case. But given that post was made fairly shortly after it came out, I hadn't read any of that then.

There's a difference between "guilty" and "drug cheat". But I understand that gets in the way of your angry farm so feel free to carry on.

"angry farm". Funny deflection man, there's only one of us cussing here.

I think your assumption is telling. The way you've acted to the afl players, the male ones, about taking a drug that was prohibited only recently in much the same way compares quite starkly to your reaction to hot chick getting done
