This is a different take on the drug saga gripping the Bombers.

When you have a mechanical problem with vehicle you take it to a mechanic you trust and is qualified because you cant fix it as you dont know much about the car.
When you have a plumbing problem you call in a plumber you trust who is qualified as you dont know much about plumbing and you cant fix it and they can.
They also have insurance in case of a problem or you wouldnt engage them to fix your problem.

With a medical problem / issue you go to a Doctor and or a Specialist / Sports Scientist who is qualified and you trust them to fix your problem as you cant because you dont know much about " medical procedures" .

With the Bombers Administration , Coaches and players of the Bombers they went to the Medical person/s who they trusted and are qualified to help them with their sport.They did this because the Bombers are not qualified to deal with medical issues .They sought advice of qualified people.
However these or this medical person/s allegedly missled the Bombers on a massive scale it seems.
Now how can it be the fault of the Bombers , it cant be .
They trusted this person/s as they are qualified in Medical field/s which the Bombers are not .
It takes many years of study to be a Doctor and or a Sports Scientist as it does to be a mechanic or a plumber.

The Bombers placed their trust in this medical person/s and allegedly were missled re supplements given to players and or coaches.The Bombers are not qualified to administer or know about these substances so they went to people they thought were good enough to do the right thing by them.
Now WADA and ASADA are trying to sought out this whole " conundrum " .
How can the Bombers be blamed for going to the right people re Medical issues ?
If you went to a person who wasnt a mechanic or a plumber and things were fixed incorrectly for you then you would be furious , so off you go to the right people to fix your problem ( and if they let you down you go to an Ombudsmen or Consumer Affairs or to a small claims tribunal) , just like what the Bombers did, they didnt go to unqualified person/s they went to qualified person/s but unfortunately they were allegedly let down badly.
Dont say the Bombers should have gone and done more research and so on , they went to the right person/s they thought would do the right medical procedures .
What else could the Bombers have done ?
