If they succeeded in their cheating objective and won the 2012 flag, you would have joined the chorus of supporters (not just us) screaming blue murder.
Cheating is all about intent. The fact that they were shit at cheating doesn't change their cheating intent and the actions taken under this intent.
Of course I would have been, but they didn't cheat us, Hamish missed and we lost.
Cheating is about obtaining an unfair advantage.
They cheated and went nowhere.
Ben Johnson is a cheat.
Jobs Watson is not.
I couldn't give a shit about their intent, I deal in actuality.
Anyway, I'm out, we are different people who live different lives. If the ban had been immediate, I would have loved it, but 3 years later is unjust, whether they intended to cheat or not, their performances over the last few years have been a cautionary tale against cheating for the entire competition. And that for me is enough.
Who gives a flying fundamental if dopers are outed and a team penalised by having players banned? The competition will continue and those not doping will be playing on a more level playing field.
My point was the entire competition has suffered, we have suffered.
If you can't see that, then so be it, but this my only concern.
As for the racist remarks, please mate. We are in Australia, the sport is only played here professionally and should be governed by Australians. Not some two bit operation who couldn't organise a root in a brothel.
