Drug Test

[Junkie]

If you were randomly tested at some stage during the past 12 months is it POSSIBLE you would return a positive test to a recreational drug?

Not a chance

Never touched the stuff... Infact I dont think I have even seen it before, I avoid places like that.

Test them durin the season but honestly, what guys wanna do in their own time in the off season is none of our business.
There role models so keep front in public!
If they wanna rail up some coke in the privacy of there own homes in summer:Go For It!!!!!!! Just educate them and let them make their own decision like everyone else in this country!

But a footy player doesnt really hjave a private life. Player X knows someone who knows someonw who knowes someone on Bigfooty who spreads the rumors. Imagine if a youngster who idolises Ben Cousins were to come onto these boards and hear the stuff that he is aledged to have done, even though its private time all of a suddern its spreadi9ng all over big footy and can be a bad influence to kiddies who aspire to be like their heroes.

They definitely have a private life. Most of the crap posted on here is rubbish. I actually heard something about Ben Cousins from a friend the other day and I had to shut them down as it was ludicrous. What they were saying was simply not true and not even possible. He is arguably the fittest and hardest working player in the league.

You’re obviously a kid. You hear all the rumours yet you say you don't do it...show's that you have a choice. AFL players don't influence kids to take drugs!

Zero tolerance will save alot of the rumour mongering.

Why is the AFL scared to have a similar drug stance to swimming and athletics?.

I'm not sure what the policies are with swimming etc.

If you don't test for recreational drugs then this wouldn't even be an issue right now...

10 years ago you never heard a thing about it. Do you think there weren't any players back then trying recreational drugs?

Swimming and athletics, zero tolerance to all banned drugs (performance and recreational).

By the way, the term recreational is bulldust, illegal is the correct spelling.
