News Tyson Stengle rushed to Hospital

[spenze]

Out at a club, doing coke

So he was line dancing...

 

[robboaustralia]

Because cricket is so physically demanding… [emoji12]

It actually is, especially if you're a bowler. Even batting or fielding all day in decent heat. I often had double leg cramps in the middle of the night after bowling 20 odd overs in a day. So yes, it can be physically demanding and mentally demanding.

Yep, Talia's cat spiked his drink

Talia's cat is quite accomplished...

True, score a ton and you don't walk all that well the next day

Discharged Sunday morning, trained Monday morning

"Attended training": careful choice of words.

Read that he just ran laps at training.

Onlookers said he looked so focused that he barely wavered from the white line.

[footy4ever]

Was discharged and trained this morning

I assume Geelong will turf him?

I'd be giving him another bag to get back on the field.

....Geelong probably will.

 

[GROTTO]

Pretty sure Fowler got banned for that act. Hilarious goal celebration at the time.

 

[footy4ever]

I guess we can see how an actual football club reacts to an incident.

Our response would have been after we saw Emperor Dillion do a thumbs up or down

Except in our case regardless of who what or where it would have been a thumbs down.

 

[footy4ever]

I hope so, I want a big loss to up the pressure on Mr.NFI

The AFL did what in response to this? Drug tested him? Or is it too far down to Geelong?

Non responsive? Did they concussion protocol him?

 

[Crow54]

So it's perfectly fine for him to play on the weekend? No repercussions?

Looks that way, not even a "please explain" from the AFL.

Are we really all that surprised though?

 

[Cleansweep17]

Drink spiked? Well I give him the benefit of the doubt but knowing his history I doubt it.

Happy he made a full recovery.

 

[SugarShane]

Not only will he play, he'll feel he has a "point to prove" and will kick 4. Would hate to be going up against them this weekend.

 

[feenix67]

I assume ASADA will pay him a visit? Or don't we do targeted drug testing for past offenders anymore?

 

[FR0GGY]

I assume ASADA will pay him a visit? Or don't we do targeted drug testing for past offenders anymore?

No reason to “accident” drink spiked

 

[Interloperer]

I assume ASADA will pay him a visit? Or don't we do targeted drug testing for past offenders anymore?

what performance enhancing drug are they suggesting he used?

Bear in mind that it was after a match, so Cocaine would be fine by ASADA (who don't actually exist any more. it's Sports Integrity Australia)

 

[1970crow]

So it's perfectly fine for him to play on the weekend? No repercussions?

What if he's just overindulged in booze and was as dehydrated as buggery. Could have just fainted and that would count as unresponsive. He was out of hospital 3 hours later, that would be about the absolute minimum time. Why would he not play on the weekend?

 

[1970crow]

Looks that way, not even a "please explain" from the AFL.

We wouldn't get a "please explain" from the AFL because we'd already have stood him down for the rest of the year.

but who spiked his drink though??? did he self spike....

I'm sure they're going over the camera footage as we speak...

Apparently you just have to self report you have a" health" problem and you don't get included in normal testing for illicit recreational drugs, it's treated as a medical management issue instead. Which explains why the AFLs record of positive testing for illicit drugs is so very, very low

 

[50BC]

He went DUI and driving an unregistered vehicle early in the season

He got busted with Brouch buying coke in the city immediately after our season ended

Then about 4-5 weeks later photos of him sitting in front of a plate of white powder in Port Lincoln were published

That's when it all fell apart

The worst part of the DUI in the unregistered vehicle is he didn't tell the club for 2 days and when he finally had to 'cos the story was getting out he lied about the circumstances. The club then got hammered in the media for "sitting on" the story when they had had to wait for investigations to find out what had really happened. I have to imagine the relationship was pretty strained from that point on.

ASADA don't do out of competition for recreational drugs, needs to be game day. You're getting confused with the the AFL's illicit testing regime, which is totally separate and independent and includes out of competition testing.
