Bombers scandal: charged, <redacted> and <infracted>

[skills32 229]

WTH !

Intravenous vitamins B and C?

If you beleive that rubbish you would have to beleive in Santa, Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy.

Intravenous Vitamin C injections are quite common. They inject about litre or so over an hour or two.

My sis, a nurse, gave me one once.

Sort of like a mega dose.

Most clinics have a supply hand at all times.

did you see the gathering at the public announcement, with politicians front & centre, & All codes represented with CEO's...

They have worked on their public relations on this fro months, I have No Doubt.

This is an Issue that must be stopped, but don't think for a second that this isn't an planned media exercise to minimise damage.

and to shoot the investigation in its own foot.

the trick is to stop this bad development into the game,, without hurting the game itself, or the public's faith.

the games power & reach, is also its weakness.

From what i could see it was just another Gillard Government screw up, they tarnished every sportsman in Australia, the worst laid plans ever, similar to the Leader invading Stalingrad, NFI.

Hows these bomber blitz quotes;

Yep, getting very unfairly treated by the media. A bit like the accusations against the Demons for tanking when they did nothing other clubs have done (not us BTW) and have to read ignorant guff in the press like deliberately not playing Sylvia in that Richmond match when in fact he was suspended that week. And accusing Melbourne of 'fumbling' - they don't have to try to do that. Demons supporters must be loving that another club is getting a raw deal from the media.

Melbourne and Essendon should play off for the Wilson/Smith Cup. Whoever wins is immune from having them write articles about them. This may be incentive enough for u to finally beat the Dees.

Pity then that the head of the ACC said the report had nothing to do with the government. He said they invited the sports minister at the same time they invited all the club CEO's to the press conference.

The Australian Crime Commission would have embarked on this investigation independently of any Government. The investigation has nothing to do Gillard and co. The resulting press conference, well thats a different story.

Smelt doesn't mean it was. Unless you want to accuse the ACC of corruption.......

Seems we're in the clear or the ACC doesn't have our phone number. Drugs investigation: clubs respond

Buckley seemed fairly content today when talking about Daisy. Didn't have the complection of a coach about to announce a sacking!

[FarNorthernD 5,861]

Never knew there was a Fortescue River.

Next you'll be telling me there is Fortescue lager as well.

Sounds pretty reasonable to me - unless you want to live in a dictatorship

steady on there sue, no-one is suggesting that (even if today's choice is so pathetic - lol)

i was just struggling to see where corruption comes into it if the government convinced the acc to go public at this stage

Jason CLare has just taken over from ROxon. He wanted a big media event to announce his own arrival and he has got one.

[Guest José Mourinho]

I noticed that Dank was careful to say that he never INTRAVENOUSLY injected any Essendon players with peptides.

Well of course he bloody well didn't!

That's what the registered nurse was for...

[Guest José Mourinho]

yes, and its not the Ord, Collie, Fitzroy or Fortescue!

Judging by his WOG performance in Sorrento after the polo, I'm not surprised.

As I said at the time, I felt sorry for the bloke.

Looked a bit like Cousins at his worst, but more tranquilized.

Moreover, he's in in the all-important western suburbs of Sydney (if you think the election is actually going to be a contest)...

Those who don't think the ACC is a politicised body should ask Jack Elliott what he thinks of their forerunner, the National Crime Authority!

I think the supplements coming into our sport is too much & needs to be stopped, & especially with the advent of worldwide matchfixing & other corruptions going on. The betting thats growing into the footy culture & the implications of all this reraching players is too great.

In essence its about criminal gangs & bikies, etc.

We don't want it in our footy, or our society.

[dee-luded 2,959]

smelling isn't your offsuit Daisy.

but your vision?

I'd say phylosophyical & political Astigmatism.

That maybe something you should see to.
