We need to prescribe medical marijuana during games instead of all that rat poison. Don't panic it's organic
What painkillers are the players taking in game?

Shouldn't be to surprising for freo fans, as thats what crowley got done for.
Ive tried the ritalin and tramadol combo before after a rolled ankle, yeah you go all day but it didn't send me to beast mode like other combos

Doesn’t make you go into beast mode but keeps the heart rate, adrenaline and dopamine up and numbs the pain for a long time. Actually, that’s probably the reason why it isn’t allowed in the AFL, too many players could develop an addiction/dependency.

Used to take 2x paracetemol and 2x ibuprofen for any pain and it worked wonders.

Nope. There’s been a huge discussion for a long time about the abuse of tramadol in cycling but it’s allowed on the WADA list.

I was wondering this week and this seems a good threat to ask but what sort of doctors are the club doctors? GPs?

Depends on the rider’s medical history and team doctor. If someone is prescribed a medication because of a diagnosis then they are granted a Therapeutic Use Exemption, which means they can test positive for an otherwise banned substance (within tolerances). Imagine telling someone they can’t take their medicine for ADHD and participate in a professional sport.

Yeah, I understand someone with ADHD will get TUE. Doesn't effect them like it does to non-ADHD impacted people either. In saying so, dodgy doctors aren't too hard to find. I do WADA tested sport and ritalin would be of great benefit to performance on comp day.

Yea that would be a cortisone injection. Reduces inflammation straight away and a couple paracetamol and they’re on their way.

A pep talk by Mark Neeld should do the trick. I imagine that would have an instantly numbing effect.

The 'jab' is Cortisone, been used for decades. Fast acting anti inflammatory and accessible to everyone from a local GP. commonly used for arthritis.
I think it would have to be the basic over-the-counter medications such as panadol/nurofen/aspirin. Anything stronger or codeine/opiate-based can cause a drowsiness effect and would affect the player's abilities on-field.

I would have thought tramadol would have to be banned in afl??
And the cortisone injections makes sense. Never had one myself. Heard they can hurt like a bitch. I assume they allow you to play through pain and not feel it, which is the same reason doc larking said they don't allow opiates. Strange.

Where’s Dr Blackcat with the inside running on what pharmaceuticals are being used, or should be used!
No player would take aspirin. It has pathetic analgesic properties.
No player would take opioid/tramadol/ketamine/anything else which is going to dull the reflexes and almost certainly be banned.
They're all just popping ibuprofen and paracetamol like the rest of us... Or maybe the club doctors are being a bit sneaky and handing out celebrex/other.
I do wonder if local anaesthesia agents are banned? I broke my foot in a semi-final and blocked it for the Grannie and it worked well. However, that will require someone with experience or a good grasp of google.

That research doesn't pass the sniff test. The patient allocations look like the researchers might have had an agenda...
