This will stir things a bit in the lead-up to the Winter Games and also Russia's hosting of the World Cup Soccer. Penalties also againts key Russian perosonnel, so not just targeting the athletes this time. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/amp/winter-sports/42242007 Russia has been banned from...

Another doping, blowing of an "old whistle", again on Gernam TV. Doesn't leave a lot of time left, for any form of investigation, if found to be warranted. The IAAF gets another mention but we can all relax, because the IOC are at arm's length, but patiently waiting on WADA to independently...

An olive branch with a big stick behind it? Can't imagine this being supported in current political environment as would have to require additional funds and resources. http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2017-10-07/new-asada-boss-david-sharpe-diplomatic-on-afl-supplement-scandal/9023500?pfmredir=sm...

It's that time of year again, where the changes for next year are announced. Good news for some (sponsors), alcohol has been removed from the prohibited list - but anti-doping bodies can still assist with testing...

This could be interesting to watch. Unable (or unwilling) to go after those in Russia behind the systematice doping regime, 3 cyclists go after WADA and McLaren. It will be interesting to see how this pans out, as they have already lost a CAS appeal. Filed in a Canadian court. " Three...

" ... Sorry, I need greater proof if I’m going to hang him." http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/expert-opinion/mark-robinson/it-is-a-great-injustice-jobe-watson-handed-back-his-2012-brownlow-medal-writes-mark-robinson/news-story/4e31ff1f961368dbccb9275d2385df2b There's life in the...

Remember this time last year? Nope neither do I specifically ... but neither did a high-profile athlete i bet, who later got caught out for Meldonium when the 2016 updates came into effect. So ... let's spin the wheel, who will be a "winner, winner, chicken dinner", from January 1st 2017...

This will fire up the groups wanting to disassociate specific local sports from WADA / ASADA oversight. Not good news for RIO athletes either. The final curtain-closer entertainment from the "All-Russian Paralympic Games" event perhaps? Looks like the Russians have won the latest round of...

Just to give EFC 34 a slim glimmer of hope, CAS have shown this week that appealing to CAS on a technicality can come true!:) Although this does revolve around the shift from 8 to 10 years for testing samples, where the 8 years had already expired.:(...

Fortunately, we have none of those vultures circling our sport. No parallels here at all! http://the-japan-news.com/news/article/0002780023 "Though the issue of money has not necessarily changed the athletes and their focuses remain the same to do their best, it obviously encouraged a whole...

Interesting, alternate take in the leadup to the big game in just under two weeks. Another sports law perspective, this time via Law Institute Victoria. Refreshing in that, like the cricket-playing, sports lawyer from the UK recently, I doubt that they are AFL accredited...

After going quiet since the departure of their golden one, the club re-enters the media fray with a celebratory piece on how well they've managed their playing list. EFC can now advise their faithful at a special meeting, that they've successfully reduced the club's exposure to any adverse...

I couldn't find a suitable thread to add this too. Is the AFL trying some Aussie-style politicing, in attempting to gain access to a high-level WADA official at a dinner function? Certainly works with our pollies, so probably worth a try - we might get a few, new, manufactured stories out of...

Something new to mull over ... http://m.watoday.com.au/afl/afl-news/world-antidoping-agency-strikes-china-deal-to-hit-drug-supply-chains-20150923-gjtcxr.html " ... Though its outlook is far broader than the biggest anti-doping investigation in the history of Australian sport, WADA has since...

Posting anew as the most relevent, old thread specifically covering the previous ABC 7.30 reporting is closed down: Noticed this follow up from the ABC this morning in relation to the recent (in EFC saga terms at least) greyhound racing scandal...

Are the cracks of the saga just starting to show? Do we finally have some media discussion heading in the right direction? http://www.3aw.com.au/radio/bomber-great-matthew-lloyd-predicts-tough-510-years-for-essendon-20150612-ghmzxb "Is Wada a factor?", "The James Hird Factor?", "Should he...

Courtesy of Compact 72 in one of the other threads on the HTB .... Bruce's latest saga letter, to WADA's David Howman this time. http://twitdoc.com/view.asp?id=201419&sid=4BEZ&ext=PDF&lcl=ATTENTION-DAVID-HOWMAN.pdf&usr=TheGovernorSM&doc=268229023&key=key-21k2wGGJvKVUI6oFizLL Bruce appears to...
