AFL to consider independent sports tribunal for doping and match fixing

[Muggs]

THE AFL will sit down with ASADA’s incoming chief executive to investigate an independent sports tribunal to rule on drug and match-fixing breaches.

Anti-doping experts on Tuesday lauded the development as a significant breakthrough after a string of cases involving AFL players taking banned substances.

Former ASADA boss Richard Ings says a national and independent one-stop-shop for ASADA and corruption cases would remove conflict-of-interest issues.

Afl realising loading the afl drug tribunal to get the result they want is waste as the losing party(assuming the player (s) pleads not guilty )will go to Cas anyway

This bloke has very long arms.
And lots of tricks up his sleaves to avoid the discomfort of being held under an external glare.

This is still just talking. I can't see the OFFAL letting go of any control over the league, any time soon.

There will be initial talks, a protracted negotiation period behing close doors and then much (years) later, an announcement that an agreement couldn't be reached.

Unless of course, they (AFL) can string it out until the next ASADA Chief Executive is incoming and they can start from scratch all over again - the perfect strategy! Seen to be doing something but achieve nothing, control everything.
