Itll be something to do with weight loss you’d think. Accidentally taking something best case? Otherwise he’s in the s**t big time.

 

[The wily weagle]

The timing of this could hardly be any worse

 

[Tugga27]

Well, there goes our finals campaign.

Thanks Willie.

LOL

 

[Freight Train]

F**king devastated.

This is actually a fold the club moment.

As attractive as that is, get a grip mate

Just changed my tip to Geelong.

Not sure what could be minor,

Took a commercially available supplement not realising it was banned as opposed to injecting growth hormones like it's going out of fashion.

West Coast Eagles premiership player Willie Rioli has been provisionally banned under the AFL's anti-doping code and will not play in the semi-final against Geelong on Friday night.

Rioli is accused of tampering with urine samples being collected by ASADA. He has not returned a positive drug test.

 

[WCE Wizard]

I hope its a minor infraction otherwise he is gone for a while

Not sure what to think currently.

 

[The wily weagle]

I can accept some kind of accidental consumption of a legal substance containing a banned ingredient

But if this is proven to be something like cocaine that he has chosen to take over the course of the week, on the eve of a semi final, and been caught.......he arguably needs to be sacked

 

[Crow till I die]

Just wanting to say that if it is illicit drugs only - then I don't see it as performance enhancing and this is where the AFL's drug policy exceeds community expectations imo. Hopefully young Rioli (if it is him that is being spoken about) can see the light and steer clear of them going forward. Hoping any punishment is very limited

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Even more damning is there’s footage of the incident

 

[Balls In]

So they ban him while they work out what's happened. Sounds fair.

This is huge mate. Could very possibly derail us in the middle of our window.

Willie's taking the piss

 

[Dark Sharks]

We have to fold, it's the only way.


Let's try again in 2028

 

[woosha24]

So if he hasn't been proven to have taken anything but tampered with ASADA testing equipment how long's the ban for? Im assuming the rest of the season, but how many in 2020?

In all seriousness, what is the criteria to be judged to have tampered with a sample?

Is this like having a fake willy to put clean pee in the cup?
