News EFC asks AFL and ASADA for probe into own training regime

[Shane Hird]

Can someone change the thread title...it makes no sense at all and is misleading to say the least.

 

[Debating Society]

Evans goes to AFL to get it what is probably a non-issue sorted.
Info leaks from AFL to a journo.
Journo phones de-listed Dons player and gets a nothing quote.
ESSENDON ARE DRUG CHEATS.

It smells like this.

There's some quality journalistic ability right there! I bet by tomorrow a half a dozen other former player names are mentioned in the media.

No doubting that mate, just passing on what I just heard...

it kinda made sense at the time

 

[Synth]

If this was anything serious, why wasn't it discovered during drug testing.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

I had to sign a waiver when I went paintballing, it didn't feel like cheating.

Signing a waiver saying that you agree to be responsible for your own actions isn't a big deal IMO

This isn't a game of paintball and I've never had to sign a waiver when buying supplements. They signed it so allows the club to have plausible deniability. I guarantee they didn't sign it for a bunch of other supplements they gave them.

its all good mate...no one really knew a couple of hours ago what it was all about.

but Jesus did I have a mild heart attack when I first read your original thread title...i was halfway through a sandwich and felt instantly ill...I went as pale as Hirdy's face looked in the press con

Now if ever a player was on weed...

"Dude, they're like running at me ... why do I have this red egg ... dude it's like they all want that red egg ... hahaha ... dude"
"Holding the ball"

 

[Cristiano Ronaldo]

wtf is this really happening to us? just found out a couple of mins ago. i'll be shattered if this affects our points count next season

This sounds like every time Alwyn Davey has the ball.

All good mate , I'm in Adelaide as well and I know (like you, no doubt) what the AFL media is like here when it's not the Crows or Power

 

[Donakebab]

The more I think about it the less there is to worry about. Why would an ex-player blow the whistle on something that would bring them into question as well and jeopardise their playing future?

If Adelaide didn't get points taken away from the regular season, I can't see it happening to us. Unless this explodes into something bigger very soon.

Duuuuude, pass us the cheezels

 

[LeverPuller]

Guys, sorry for the intrusion. I know it's a rough day. Just wishing you the best of luck. Know something about being stuck with a shit sandwich regarding the actions of your football club, despite you having next to no input. Don't listen to the trolls, read between the lines with the media rather than the spurious bullshit that they'll peddle (especially the Fairfax Witch Queen) and keep the faith.

 

[Tassieboy]

Up the Guts is a ****ing twat.

 

[Tassieboy]

I was a bit shocked to start with but I'm sure it's basically all fine. Just annoying.

 

[Burzum]

Sosa

Please stick Hirdy's head onto the gif of Arnold smoking a joint?

I started but it's too time consuming. Sorry.

I saved the project so I might finish it later.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Reimers is the snitch, it seems.

Somebody lynch him in the exercise yard.

 

[Zach Package]

So they just played a soundbite of reimers talking to damo saying 'yeah it was right on the edge'
To me (and anyone with half a brain) that implies it was our actions were legal

i cannot believe reimers phone hasn't been disconnected

Dean Robinson with a candlestick?

It's not a game of paintball, but that was just one example. Other things I've signed waivers for:
- bungee jumping
- sky diving
- parachuting
- several bike riding events
- the taking of certain medications
- having my medical history mailed to someone by a third party

None of these things made me feel like I was doing something illegal, so, as my original point stated, just because there is a waiver involved shouldn't be used as an indicator for 'illegal'.

Based on it, it looks like they wanted the guys to take something different and if they were going to take them, they had to sign saying that they knew what was involved and what the potential risks/side effects/whatever were. Not a big deal IMO
