Rioli urine test tampered

[kane249]

Game-day Marijuana positive is the least of his worries, though still idiotic.

No doubt, would be staggered if that end up the heavier of the two penalties

Still don't understand how a footballer can be banned for smoking weed.

If it isn't steroids, growth hormone or peptides who gives a flying fu**.

It's banned in sports where you wouldn't think it would make sense to ban it because it's too hard to create individual lists for individual sports.

West Coast chief executive Trevor Nisbett is optimistic Willie Rioli will play for the club again and has vowed to support the 2018 premiership forward until the end of his drug ban saga.
And the Eagles will ask the AFL to consider stepping away from the World Anti-Doping code because of the treatment of Rioli in the 14 months since he was provisionally suspended for two doping infractions.

One infraction was for tampering with a urine sample in August last year and the other weeks later for testing positive to marijuana.

yeah, nah sorry Trev, I agree, it would appear this has taken way to long, we've seen what the AFL would do if left to police itself....no thanks.

The only reasons the AFL (and likely a few other sports) is with ASADA in the first place is because they get a shitload of subsidies from the government.

 

[Tim Evans Beard]

There should be a finding made public in the next two weeks - likely by the end of next week.

If weed was in any way performance enhancing, Snoop Dog would be an NBA All Star

saying its taking too long.

He is getting 2 years minimum. Which is Sept 2021. Should get 4 years.

Not sure what the rush is. He isnt playing any time soon. Nor even training.

In silly Willie’s case it doesn’t matter, but if it were a situation where the athlete may be found innocent 2 years would be pretty ridiculous.

There‘s also the other scenario where an athlete is still able to compete with proceedings against them.
Imagine an athlete is allowed to compete for a couple of years while ASADA are bumbling around only to be found guilty later on.

 

[sosos]

Not even called ASADA anymore?

If you know anything about the public service, and I assume that they are, you will know that there will be good people, under-resourced and underpaid doing their best through mountains of regulations, torrents of ignorant criticism, and political masters swaying wildly from the gentlest of breezes.

I think we all can empathise with individuals caught up in the injustice inherent in the system (thanks Monty Python).

But "bumbling around" is almost certainly not what they're doing. More likely they're just trying to ensure a fair, and legal process for all parties.

How do you know its ASADA ?

Doesnt the AFL do the kangaroo court?

It's a joke how long this has taken and no explanation as to why the result is delayed.

The AFL are trying to work out how they can give him a minor penalty without it being appealed.

Its been 17 months. If he gets 18 months he should be preparing to play in a month...surely he gets at least 2 years given this
