News Willie Rioli Provisionally Suspended

[Chameleon75]

Maybe he just likes Eric Clapton

Was tested two days after they played, Charlie wouldn’t bother asada in that instance.

I’m only surmising his music preferences.

You just know somehow we’ll be blamed for this!

Shouldn't the player who provided the urine also be provisionally suspended?

How do you know it was a player?

They're talking about it on SEN with Derm and Bob.
The testers actually watch you give a sample - the mind boggles how he's tampered with it.

They watch but there’s some modesty there so for example Willie turns around. Then squirts out from a pre prepared bag then urinates into bowl after giving sample.

That’s just my guess.

Unless he was worried about a second strike under the illicit drugs code? But far out, that would be irrational behaviour.

Apparently it wasn't even urine at all that was substituted - what a rocket surgeon

 

[foreigner]

If it was tampering (not a positive test) why wait until now to provisionally ban him? Surely they would have known as it happened?

Due process.

And that’s fair enough.

Could be, but as I understand it the asada tests and the afl tests are run separately

Amazing this whole matter didn’t leak earlier than today.

SEN were very reluctant to go with the club/player on air despite “multiple sources” naming Rioli and only did so after this article:

Do you reckon if it was a Collingwood player they would have been reluctant or falling over themselves to put it on air?

For anyone who has seen Withnail & I this image surely comes to mind:

If it were other hosts most certainly. Andy Maher, Bob Murphy and Dermott Brereton aren't the biggest Collingwood haters out there.

Fair point.

West Coast star Willie Rioli out of the finals, banned for substituting urine sample on ASADA drug test

Eagles star Willie Rioli banned for substituting urine sample in drug test

That's how you know it wasn't Collingwood.

Thanks - I have learned something new. Every day is a school day.

Wonder IF he has to wait a Season for his Hearing

One of my favourite films!

Glad it was not one of our players for a change, but when do they start to learn

No wonder he was strong enough to hold out Maynard...was on the juice!!!

If this is processed on the 'Murray timeline', the results will be made public in about late 2026.

But its not funny, its a serious issue, with a four year suspension being touted in the media.

But I'm confused. Didnt GWS's Whitfield avoid a similar test, with the assistance of the one and only Gubby Allen? Why is that not as serious?


One of my favourite films!

Whitfield avoided the potential of a test and conspired with Gubby to do so. He was done under the illicit drug code for misconduct. Hell hath no fury like a girlfriend scorned.

2012 - Essendon relegated from finals after being the only AFL to be found guilty of a doping regime, yet keep their win/loss record across the season

2019 - Essendon make the finals for the third time since 2012 and are eliminated by the first club to play finals with a player who's provisionally suspended 1 week later resulting from a matter the game before

You can't make this s**t up!

Probably.

That it was a Rioli, was more the reason they were being extra careful. Rioli is a little sacred for many.

Hang on ..

... are illicit drugs code testing and ASADA testing done in the same context? (Ie: same testers, and any samples taken can / are tested for both?)
