This is such a poor article by Pierik and a weak as piss attempt to sell further (BREAKING!!) news on the back of Ryder's exit.
First of all - and Ryder has made this abundantly clear -
he is not a Bomber.
The article is based purely on Pierik's imagination that Ryder could be first player to strike some sort of deal. It could very well have been titled 'Prismal could be the first player...'
Ryder was unavailable for comment. So, no confirmation to back up the assumption.
Port gave Ryder the option of going his own way with ASADA, as they did with Monfries already.
Prismal & Crameri are already being represented by their own lawyers, having broken ranks with the EFC boys.
Then he goes on to regurgitate the SCN news, which applies to all 34 players.
Next he states that Ryder could actually fight the charges with the rest of the players. (ie. Not striking a deal)
We then hear that both Ryder & Monfries are keen to have this over & done with. I guess the other 32 are pretty happy with the situation is dragging out to the 2 year mark?
"It's understood Ryder has been told if he was to do a deal, he should not fear public backlash". Good luck with that one. You'll be labeled a drug cheat for life. And told by who? Caro?
The rest is further rehash of Dank & AFLPA stating that no illegal substances were administered.
Absolute dreck.
