EUFA EURO 2024 - Group Stage ⚽ EPL 24/25 starts Aug 17
The problem with lying is it tends to get messy. What treatment does the medical team give the player who suffered a late "ankle injury" before the game. Do they strap it up or is it straight into the moonboot?
How long does the charade continue?
The interesting question would be how many 'secretive tests' were done on average per week.
Yep. How many positive tests for illicit substances are gathered each year vs how many strikes handed out. Spoiler alert they are very different numbers.The interesting question would be how many 'secretive tests' were done on average per week.
None of the parasites want to risk their place at the trough.This is the question that no journo had the guts to put to Dillon.
It’s not “self reporting” if the same bunch of players are getting tested every single week.
I know what you mean, but the unofficial test could also be easily used to check for performance enhancing drugs as well.Personally I don’t get the uproar. Seems like a pretty reasonable policy to me.
They’re altering the outcomes of games to prevent players going positive on match day.I know what you mean, but the unofficial test could also be easily used to check for performance enhancing drugs as well.
If clubs are doing that knowingly to protect their players from official tests, then they are delving into Russian Olympic team levels of cheating.
Cocaine is a party drug, but it is flat out performance enhancing too. Run through walls stuff. And if you still have it in your system, you have had it very recently.They’re altering the outcomes of games to prevent players going positive on match day.
It’s obscene.
Cocaine is run through walls stuff? Lol ok. You have an uber amount of confidence thats for sure.. I think you are confusing it with meth amphetamineCocaine is a party drug, but it is flat out performance enhancing too. Run through walls stuff. And if you still have it in your system, you have had it very recently.
Isn't that the job of the sPoRTs sCiENtisT?I know what you mean, but the unofficial test could also be easily used to check for performance enhancing drugs as well.

Not at all, you get energy, endurance and ridiculous self belief from cocaine. All of it really handy when playing a sport like AFL.Cocaine is run through walls stuff? Lol ok. You have an uber amount of confidence thats for sure.. I think you are confusing it with meth amphetamine
Exactly what i thought and then my thoughts turned to a certain player and the length of time its taken for his hammy to come goodSounds like two week injuries. :stern look
We can certainly rule out any North Melb player then. If its such a performance enhancing drug, explain curtis taylor?Not at all, you get energy, endurance and ridiculous self belief from cocaine. All of it really handy when playing a sport like AFL.
I know bugger all about meth, but I know what coke does for you.

Ok Shaun … nothingto see in Baseball

I want to know the highest number of tests for a single player. If they received a strike per positive test, what are we up to with some of them? Strike 20?
“What’s that big light in the sky?”Meanwhile over at North meet the Media we get journos asking everything under the sun
Yeah i agree and i think the AFL snookered themselves by signing up to the WADA code in the first place, it has forced them into a corner when a/ its not an international sport b/ despite some peoples view AFL footballers are not professional athletes the WADA code is designed for they are simply really well paid footballers and c/ they are footballers; young men in the prime of their lives doing something they enjoy being handsomely rewarded for it and indulging in all that being feted by the football public brings which is essentially sex, drugs n rock n roll. All very natural for young men which is why they developed this work around, otherwise I would hazard that some weeks some teams may have struggled to field a full AFL grade team, plus if players are wiped for 4 years that would have played havoc with some teams in particular big clubs. In relation to * I think the biggest mistake they made was not availing themselves of this policy at the time to check if their supplements were detectable and if they had come clean with the AFL right from the start in all likelihood this policy would have protected them.I just can't get up in arms about recreational drug use, I'm sorry. It's so normal, it's way too demonised (no pun intended), I don't think this can be compared to actions like the * Supplements saga where an organisation set out to achieve an unfair advantage through a secret injection program. I don't know if I can see it as immoral for the club to say "hey, it'll destroy these guys' lives way more to receive a long term suspension and have their names dragged through the media than if we just try to give them support behind the scenes, it might be better to just rule them out for a game and deal with the matter privately." And it kind of seems like that's what this was.
I highly recommend you look up the definition of "professional athlete"b/ despite some peoples view AFL footballers are not professional athletes the WADA code is designed for they are simply really well paid footballers and
Which dictionary? Or the WADA definition?I highly recommend you look up the definition of "professional athlete"
“What’s that big light in the sky?”
“Why is it so bright?”
“Should I look directly at it?”
Flakka for running through walls, lifting buses and taking on 10 usa cops on roids.Cocaine is run through walls stuff? Lol ok. You have an uber amount of confidence thats for sure.. I think you are confusing it with meth amphetamine
