Ah yeah, that's true.
you can't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
and it seems kerrs problems a lot of stemmed from issues outside the drug use.
Would Judd have stayed if it was controlled earlier?
Jesus, the guy is lucky to have come out without many more OD's than was what reported.
I always found it funny in his book he says he only felt like he was OD'ing bad once.
I suppose the next question is how did it get to be that way?
I've always assumed WC were happy to not know about it because you were winning but that does seem a bit simple and it does seem they tried to curb it.
I think I read here once in Perth Ben Cousins was the worlds worst kept secret and rumors had been going around for a while but the rest of Australia didn't know.

and found this part interesting:
It's well documented what happened post 2006 with injuries and the off field scandals that hit West Coast but is that all there...
Hi the West Coast Board,
One of my best (And longest mates) is a die-hard West Coast supporter, and he pulled up some of the drafting blunders by Richmond in recent years.
I need help to get him back, what (If any... I hope so) draft picks have backfired?
If you could list, any from the last...
It wasn't said that he was on the gear. There are many reasons why he was at the clinic. To see a psychiatrist for one.
But, all the best to Ben.
