Link?

genuinely cant find anything anywhere that says gundogan missed a drug test.

if there was anything worse than logistical errors im sure it would be worse than a fine.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

on the daily mail site now.

 

[glenferry23]

Can't find anything on Gundogan on that first link.

 

[chef]

Fake news?

Not exactly a big breach, afl clubs get done for failure to notify ASADA of player whereabouts every season.

Once off offences aren't unusual but 3 times in 5 months doesn't seem right. Surely City can just pay someone 200k a year to keep exact records of player whereabouts, not like they'd even notice 200k spent.

Do you think there's something untoward going on at Waverley by any chance? I mean after all there were 3 breaches there too. Surely Hawthorn can just pay someone to keep exact records or do you not have any queries here as it's not City who you're obsessed over?

"The Hawks copped a $7500 fine for three breaches, the Eagles and the Cats will each need to pay up $5000 for two breaches apiece and the 'Pies, Bombers, the Bulldogs and Saints were each fined $2500 for one breach each."

Probably why City received fines and not suspensions, merely notification breaches not deliberate attempts to dope.

You're comparing Hawthorn (and footy players) to Manchester City? What a ridiculous comparison which shows your continued obsession with Hawthorn.

 

[Magma]

yes because human error = amount paid.

it's not the same 3 scenarios played over. if it was the same senior player missing a test 3 times then absolutely. if there was anything sus about it im sure we would've felt the brunt per usual.

Not at all. My club was also in there now wasn't it.
I'm simply showing it's just a clerical error, rather laughable Bojan even posted this, it's barely news or important.

and why not compare them, football clubs (albeit different codes) that have to adhere to doping codes. You made the inference something wasn't right merely as there were 3 in 5 months... Well your beloved also breached 3 times (and mine twice) so is something not right there as well or is this merely a comment because it was City, a club you love to dig the boots into.

Are you serious? The amount of money in football and professionalism in general is absolutely miles ahead of AFL players and AFL clubs in general don't have unlimited resources to call on in order to ensure errors like this don't happen. It's an absolutely ridiculous comparison to make.

It doesn't take endless money to notify the relevant authority of player whereabouts. It's completely fair.

Now, putting that aside it's still a minor error and if it were Liverpool you'd say exactly this, it's merely a fine for a reason.

most prem teams don't struggle with the rules. 1 team in particular seems to struggle with them immensely. Ironically, this is all occuring under Ped Guardiola.

Maybe so. Still rather minor, wake me when there's something deliberate, systemic and untoward or involving a needle.

 

[Magma]

wonder when the drugs actually start to kick in

No that's Cruyff14 I'm clearly junior to him and thus no.2

Bravo must have got a bad batch earlier in the season.

Boom!

 

[Cooldude]

Gundogan would be injured for the whole ban anyway so there'd be literally no point
