was really embarrassing reading the PA's statement...honestly demanding ASADA do it on their timelines, acting like their is no existing process. Who do these guys think they are?

I really like the cut of McDevitts jib.

He is one switched on individual. Got some serious respect for the bloke.
One thing i've learned in this saga is there is always another twist .
It appears efc* are running out of avenues and it's to be hoped McDevitt plays a straight bat , no deals , and everyone involved at efc* receive the full force of the law !!
McDevitt has talked the talk now he's gotta walk the walk ... any deals or pissy penalties will have him consigned to history as just another tumbleweed blowing through town .

I find it laughable that the players want a speedy resolution this this drawn out saga, yet it was their own club that delayed the conclusion by dragging it through the courts.

FMD..
They're just good blokes, what part of that don't you understand? There's Jobey, Heps, Dusty, Lord Jim.

Could well be that the Cronulla players were dealt with as they were because ASADA wanted to get onto the frying of bigger fish.

Still have a gut feel that ASADA are after some scalps here, and I think with the way Hird went after the AFL the AFL may be less inclined to go easy. But even if they do, not sure WADA will stand for it.

But going to the tribunal is all or nothing, because deals are off the table and if two or more players are found guilty the WADA code says that the AFL has to sanction the club.

Little's insistence that all mention of doping be expunged from the charges that they pleaded guilty on last year will come back to bite them I reckon, because they will have to be whacked for doping if the players are.

Pretty sure that it has been mentioned that WADA are pretty upset with the way ASADA handled the Cronulla players and the leniency of the suspensions handed out so it will be interesting to see how they handle this lot

I absolutely hate the players association, not interested in the good of the game at all - a bunch of money grubbing self interested scum bags.
I think they forget they also represent another 700 odd players who have to compete against these drug cheats.
