lol innocent drugs (sorry just found that amusing, no harm intended).Yes, sorry you're right, it would fall under S0 as well. I agree as to why the WADA code has that S2 chemical reference there, but it's wording is limited and opens itself up to interpretation (although I doubt you will be able to see that it COULD be interpreted that way).
I am still waiting for you to tell me why you think AD said there was a classification issue? If it's not what I'm suggesting I'd love to know what it is. Interested in your thoughts.
I cannot say what goes through AD's head. All I can say is that if I was in AD's position I would probably behave the same way. I would have a billion dollar TV Agreement that relies on an 18 team competition. I would be doing everything in my power not to jeopardize that.
I would be wanting to maximize revenue for the year 2013. An uncompetitive Essendon would mean low crowds and low membership. By allowing most if not all of the home and away season to go through without infractions he can achieve this. Finals is another issue. If most of the punishment is this year, it frees up next year for revenue too.
So you see why AD may be playing it this way.
Of course I have always said that until all the evidence is out we don't know the full story.
