If someone falls asleep when off their face drunk they need an ambulance?  Not in the world I have inhabited.  And if you were that smashed on alcohol you are not training at a professional football club the next day.

Geelong & you(and other Cats supporters here) are trying to sell Stengle passing out in a nightclub and being hospitalised, as if it was a result of drinking and nothing else.

The trouble is loads of us opposition supporters know it is much more likely to be the result of consuming illicit drugs, probably with alcohol as well.  And many cases where medics are called to passed out drunks it is likely the same situation - they have also consumed an illicit substance in conjuntion with alcohol.  This is a perfectly reasonable thing for somebody like me to conclude as I grew up and spent basically all my first 35 years around people who regularly drunk to excess at least on weekends, and I can't recall a single time an ambulance was called for a passed out drunk.

What you are not acknowledging is that if it was the result of consumption of illicit drugs then both the law and AFL rules both mean it would be in both Stengle's & Geelong's interest to lie about that.  Especially given Stengle is surely sitting on at least 1 and possibly 2 illicit drug strikes.  And his prior drug history also lends itself readily to the theory he was not consuming alcohol alone in that Geelong nightclub.
