When they work out how to back date it so he misses about 3 rounds.

Won't happen this time. He played in the prelim didn't he?? Will at least get all of 2017 off and most of 2018

Deliberately missing a drug test is only a 9-12 month ban. But with the AFL, he is probably only looking at 3 months. To be served in the offseason.

Gee that would be bit of a harsh whack if that happens.

SEN said ASADA took this very seriously, and under their guidelines it constitutes deliberately evading a drug test (randomly attending your house). They said the penalty was a 4 year ban...who knows?

Excellent article from Tim Lane with these last two paragraphs being particularly well worded :

The AFL bears an onerous burden in this case but not just in relation to Jobe Watson and the many who admire him. Modern sport is suffering a dangerous crisis of faith. Around the globe, the public has lately come to doubt the preparedness of many administrations to put integrity before self-interest.

Tests of such preparedness can take many forms. The AFL is standing under a high ball with a critical gallery watching closely. Its decision will be a statement not just on behalf of its direct constituency, but on behalf of Australian sport generally.

Wet lettuce leaf

Wet lettuce leaf

It is the easiest of decisions to make, he has to be stripped of the medal. However, the AFL will turn it into a soap opera at every opportunity and will opt for the wet lettuce approach.

 

[Jabba73]

Would be too much to expect Watson would show some integrity and hand it back.

He could even continue to play the victim and claim he is doing even though he was unwittingly caught up in a rogue doping program run without his knowledge but for the continued faith in the system blah, blah, blah, history of the medal, blah, blah, blah, he feels compelled to give it back while still maintaining his innocence.

No one wins while he hangs onto it.

Great to see Yarran back at training today! Hope he can get back to his best despite playing for Richmond

wow i just checked out the photo of yaz. whilst he really is dead to me i worry for him. if its true he has been in training for three months and employed a personal trainer then by the look of his shape he is either still in trouble or he should ask couch for a refund.

 

[thylacine60]

That medal is a solid gold asterisk now.

The photo I saw of Couch he was in worse shape than Yarran. Out of shape PT's never fill me with great confidence.

SEN reporting Jarrod Garlett walked out on Gold Coast and headed back to WA. Signed 2 year contract extension a few months ago.

You mean to tell me that the AFL is incompetent when it comes to this sort of thing?

I'm shocked to be sitting here.

I read that article and it broke my brain with its overly-cumbersome wordage. Did he actually come out and have an opinion one way or the other or did he just set up the stakes which we already know?

Reckon Tim watched one of those Matthew McConaughey legal movies last night and suddenly felt all lawyery.

Unfortunately, he can't come out and directly slag off Watson or the AFL so he has to put up some other facts and theories to soften the blow a little.

 

[Azul]

All the best to jarrod Garlett and whatever 'family crisis' ails him. Sounds serious.

Seven clubs fined for Anti-Doping Code breach

Essendon* again .......

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2016-11-09/seven-clubs-fined-for-antidoping-code-breach

SEVEN clubs have been fined for breaches of rules relating to player whereabouts information under the AFL Anti-Doping Code.

Hawthorn was sanctioned $7500 for three breaches, West Coast and Geelong $5000 each for two breaches and Collingwood, Essendon, the Western Bulldogs and St Kilda $2500 for one breach apiece.

 

[Jabba73]

Happy we weren't one of the clubs.

Depends what colour glasses u wear. Checked out the Yarran thread on the RFC board n they frothing over his most recent pics. As a past personal trainer, i would say he's gained about 7-10% body fat which would equate to a loss of 5-10kg's of muscle. As a professional athlete that is horrendous. If he makes an impact in 2017 I'll eat my hat. Quick google search of him wearing cfc colours will show u how bad of shape he is currently in. Is sad really.
