Add Aussie swimmers, athletes, footballers usually threaten court action, clubs generally get dogs to eat paperwork etc etchas there been a statement saying they are going to contest it, that would be setting alarm bells off for me, I follow MMA where fighters are caught alot lol, first thing you here is they are innocent, will be contesting it blah blah blah
clubs generally get dogs to eat paperwork
Did he eat the paperwork or feed it to his poodle?Are you calling Dean Wallis a dog?
No, it was a game day test. You can’t get a strike.Hypothetically, if he had run the gauntlet, provided a sample and was busted for a recreational drug, am I right in saying that he would have received a strike (assuming it was his first), nobody would have known and he could have kept playing?
In all seriousness, if that's the case, it's mind numbingly dumb. And so sad that something so stupid might railroad the career of a kid with so much more natural talent than most of his peers. Where are the people educating the players at the Eagles?I hear Marijuana. And he wouldnt of gone for that.
Awaiting B Sample late news said.
Test was done on a TuesdayNo, it was a game day test. You can’t get a strike.
Hearing how you have to give a sample with your pants down and shirt up, I legit wouldn’t be able to piss with someone watching me like that.
100%. He should play the stage fright defence.Hearing how you have to give a sample with your pants down and shirt up, I legit wouldn’t be able to piss with someone watching me like that.
if the protocol is correct it would mean willie has taken a bottle of a popular drink and literally poured it into the container with the bloke watching only for him to go you can't do that willie, seal it and then get him that way. going "gotcha". no player would be that ******* dumb and the whole thing wouldn't make sense. they'd just ask him to do the test properly and stop being a dickhead.
doesn't add up.
unless you are suggesting he's had others help distract the tester then got caught after the sample was handed over. or he tampered with it after that.
the way the AFL worded it is that the sample was sent of for testing and came back as not urine!
We are all going to be deprived of seeing someone with a once in a generational talent from playing all because he is a selfish, stupid and naive individual. You can't expect to get away with this sort of stuff.
He has that x factor that we love in the game such a shame because I don't think he is coming back from this. He doesn't tend to stay in great shape when out of the game.

Last 2 jobs I've had required this as a pre-employment check. First time was a shock and a bit of stage fright, after that was not a big deal.
and if proven guilty, a cheat. Don't forget, cheat.
Look after reading through 13 pages I still cannot see how he has done what is implied. Would appreciate if someone can break it down succinctly
It's not a case of the tester seeing him do it and then telling him to try again, tampering with a sample is a sanctionable offence and a tester just providing their description of an attempt to tamper is insufficient proof. Everyone is assuming that (a) the tester didn't see him do it, or that (b) if the tester did see him do it, they'd just tell him to stop messing around and try again, which is not the case.
Instead it would be something like the below;
- Willie attempts to mix
Gatoradepopular sports drink in with his sample via some means.- Tester witnesses him do this.
- Tester notes said behaviour.
- Sample is sealed and sent for analysis.
- Analysis comes back confirming testers version of events.
- Athlete is sanctioned for tampering with a sample.
From what I've read the tester can also (once in possession of the first sample) ask Willie to provide a second - untampered with - sample for analysis.
Thanks mate, I was going off the original fox footy article which stated it was a game day test, they’ve since edited it to the 20th. Obviously in too much of a rush to ‘break’ the story and didn’t check their facts. Good luck for tonight, I’ll be at the game.Test was done on a Tuesday
