News Jnr Rioli - He’s back.

[Karim Abdul Yeo]

We don't know the full story. It appears Vozzo has no idea either. I tell you what, they better make sure they have evidence without shadow of a doubt to support their claim, cuz if they get this wrong and come out and apologise, then I would expect Eagles to go hard after AFL and ASADA, minimum 3 top 10 draft picks, with 7 optus games in a row like tigers. Also side note, if this happened 20th of August, why suspend him now?? either do it before finals or wait till after GF. why now?? conspiracy theory is also valid since we have former Geelong maggots running AFL these days.

Isn’t Willie a bit of a practical joker? Wondering if he thought it would be funny to fill the cup up with Gatorade...not realising the seriousness of doing so.

Blame me,
I put $1 on him at the start of the finals for Normy at 301-1.

My betting curse

Very sad news for Willie and West Coast. 24 years and ready to hit his prime. I'd say this could be career ending in the AFL if he gets 4 years.

4 years ffft lol that’s maximum, they always say that, like when a guy is charged with aggravated assault “it’s a maximum of 10 years”....he gets given a good behaviour bond.

Simpson will be gutted, spent time up north with Rioli and his family to get a better understanding of his culture. Coach player had a strong bond. This will really hit Jetta and Ryan hard too.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post in here? But all I'll say is, the club needs to close ranks around Rioli. As dumb as this would appear, it's important he's not just cut loose and left to end for himself. It's a tough industry...he appears to have made a really poor decision. Doesn't mean he's a bad person.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

s**t.

If he’s done something stupid and he needs to be banned, that’s that, but I really hope this doesn’t destroy his life entirely.

Huh?

At least Vozzo is keeping to his form.

Pull your heads out of the sand if you think the tampered sample is better than a positive. 100% worse.

He put something other than piss in his piss cup. There is no explanation for this.

 

[Tugga27]

That's not a case of semantics. They're completely different things.

No they're not.

The end result is he's not playing.

innocent until proven guilty!

After whats happened this week people need to not hammer him.

Feels like a mistake or a silly error i judgement.

If he has deliberately done it then ban him.

Oh boy, bet the champagne bottles are popping at all major newspapers & studios tonight. They'll be able to flog this horse for at least a couple of years.

 

[larrikin]

Hug your Riolis people. You never know when they will be gone.

Never! Trial by media!!

The outcome is the same, you got that bit right.

A mint fell out of his mouth into the cup without him noticing. #callFafDuPlessis

He is a bit of a joker, but time and a place for everything.

Story seems bizare so far, no doubt more details will be revealed in time.

Yes, they most definitely are. The end result doesn't make them then same.
