The one and the same. While Lance is a denialist, he picks his battles and doesn't try to defend the indefensible and have a certain degree of logic to them. He has made the argument numerous times (with links to the AFL code) that under the AFL code the AFL are have sole discretion over team based penalties. Over that last 12 months I haven't seen anyone post anything concrete to show this premise is incorrect.
Hey if you go over the the HTB and post something about team penalties for EFC he is sure to respond.

Mate - I have read everything Lance has posted - and then - gave up since he broaches no criticism of anything he posts, no matter how concrete the evidence is until it become so ridiculous he is laughing stock of the board, then, simply changes his position.
I have absolutely ZERO interest in engaging him - he is TWAT who at the start of the ENTIRE SAGA made so many outrageous and ridiculous claims that I put him on ignore for a considerable time.
Claiming I should instead engage HIM in debate is frankly insulting.
Especially when I have no need to do so - I have posted the RULES to which the AFL is signed up to, so whatever RULES the AFL have in place for themselves is absolutely, totally irrelevant.
Again - if they are signed up to the WADA code (and they are) then the rules are beyond question - two members of a team found guilty means TEAM WIDE PUNISHMENT - period, end of story, no ifs, no buts, no LANCE UPPER CUT SAYS DIFFERENT - irrelevant. These are the rules to which the AFL have signed up to.
Who governs the policing of sport in Australia - ASADA - who hands out the bans in Australian sport - ASADA (not AFL - ASADA).
Lance is correct that only the AFL can hand out team wide bans in governance issues, since they are the final arbiter in GOVERNANCE issues - but not doping issues - AFL is GOVERNED by ASADA as they are the RULING AUTHORITY IN AUSTRALIA ON THIS ISSUE - as per the WADA CODE.
No ifs, no buts, no maybes and definitely no "LANCE SAYS".
.
If you want to come back with some evidence to the contrary be my guest - If you want to go over and speak with Lance - BE MY GUEST. Till then - Yes Essendon will face team wide bans for doping if more than two members were found to be engaged in systemic doping - and 40 PLAYERS have been issued notices - let me spell that out FORTY.
It simply blows my brain that you can think a team, signed up to the WADA code will escape team penalties with systemic team wide doping, when this has been the proven case for almost a decade now - because an Essendon* supporter thinks otherwise ( and thinks so despite being proven wrong on almost every issue he raises).
As I said - think about things before responding. Think man.
