Juicewood, Collingroid.. It's a hard one to pin down. It's a shitty name, that's the problem here. Going Collingroid. Roads for short, so the roids Collingroid. You can use your own discretion whether you want to capitalise the "c" or not, it doesn't really matter.

If the Bombers only get six months, Pie fans will be enraged. AFL will be engulfed in a tidal wave of urine.

Lol. Collingroid.

I like it.

Yep. If they get that wet tram ticket, now the largest club in the land will have supporters with reason to cry foul.

And cry they will, because foul they are.

Could hardly come at a worse time for Essendon.

The timing is interesting. Hopefully the roids sack them on the spot to make a point. Are they good players or crappy?

According to the updated Age article linked above the drug is Clenbuterol

'Clenbuterol is a drug used for asthma that is also often used by body builders as a body sculpting drug that helps burn fat and build muscle. It is this effect of creating leaner meat with a higher muscle to fat ratio that has seen it used in meat production in some countries.

Famously in 2011 more than 100 Mexican footballers tested positive to the drug but were cleared after it was established the drug as used in farming in the country and was often present in meat in the country.'

What's the bet they claim they ate contaminated meat?

By the by i look at the Hun website and there is nothing about it. Love to be a fly on the wall at HWT right about now as they scramble to get some info to report. Beaten to the scoop again

Weight-loss drug[edit]

Although often used by bodybuilders during their "cutting" cycles, the drug has been more recently known to the mainstream, particularly through publicized stories of use by celebrities such as Victoria Beckham,^[2]Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan,^[4] for its off-label use as a weight-loss drug similar to usage of other sympathomimetic amines such as ephedrine, despite the lack of sufficient clinical testing either supporting or negating such use.

Notable cases of use as performance-enhancing drug[edit]

As a β2 sympathomimetic, clenbuterol has also been used as a performance-enhancing drug.

A three-year suspension for taking clenbuterol kept sprinter Katrin Krabbe from competing in the 1992 Summer Olympics, and effectively ended her athletic career.^[5][6][7]

In 2006, San Francisco Giants pitcher Guillermo Mota, while a member of the New York Mets, received a 50-game suspension after testing positive for clenbuterol.^[8] In 2012, MLB officials announced they were again suspending Mota for 100 games due a positive test for clenbuterol.^[9]

American swimmer Jessica Hardy tested positive at the US trials in 2008. She was subject to a one-year suspension, having claimed she unknowingly took the drug in a contaminated food supplement. Former New York Mets clubhouse employee Kirk Radomski admitted in his plea deal to distributing clenbuterol to dozens of current and former Major League Baseball players and associates.^[10] After finishing fourth in the K-2 1000-m event at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Polish sprint canoer Adam Seroczyński was disqualified for taking this drug, and Chinese cyclist Li Fuyu tested positive for it at the Dwars door Vlaanderen race in Belgium on March 24, 2010.^[11]

In 2010, St. Louis Cardinals minor-league shortstop Lainer Bueno received a 50-game suspension for the 2011 season as a result of testing positive for clenbuterol.^[12] Cyclist Alberto Contador of Spain was banned for two years from professional cycling after testing positive for the drug at the 2010 Tour de France.^[13] He was later stripped of the 2010 title of the Tour de France and the 2011 title of the Giro d'Italia.^[14]CAS found that Contador probably tested positive due to a contaminated food supplement.^[15] In 2013, Contador's team-mate on the Team Saxo Bank squad, Mick Rogers, tested positive for clenbuterol at the Japan Cup bike race. In April 2014 the Union Cycliste Internationale announced that it accepted Rogers' explanation that the substance had been ingested by him after consuming contaminated meat whilst competing at the 2013 Tour of Beijing, upholding Rogers' disqualification from the Japan Cup but declining to impose any further sanctions on him.^[16]

In 2011, players of the Mexico national football team were found with clenbuterol in their bloodstreams, but were acquitted by WADA after they claimed the clenbuterol came from contaminated food. FIFA has also claimed 109 players from the Under-17 World Cup in Mexico tested positive for this drug, because Mexican meat is contaminated.^[17]

In 2013, Mexican boxer Erik Morales was suspended for two years after testing positive for clenbuterol.^[18]

In 2014, Toronto Maple Leafs Forward Carter Ashton was suspended from the NHL for 20 games without pay for violating the NHL/NHL Players' Association Performance Enhancing Substances Program after it was determined that he had ingested Clenbuterol. Carter claimed he used an unprescribed asthma inhaler.^[19]

In 2014, South Korean swimmer Kim Ji-heun has tested positive for the banned substance Clenbuterol at an out-of-competition test on May 13, 2014. After completion of proceedings by the Korea Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel, Kim received a two-year suspension, back-dated to the day of his positive test.^[20]

In 2015, Yankees minor league pitching prospect Moises Cedeno tested positive for the banned substance Clenbuterol and was suspended for 72 games.^[21]

Innocent no doubt.........Bad beef at the Lexus centre,

B Fell on to a bed of syringes at the GP

C My cocaine must have been spiked

Maybe that's the mysterious Mexican potion Dank was also alleged to have given Essendon players? Now these two can blame their plight on eating too many beef tacos and enchiladas at Mexican restaurants.

Shredding for stereo, valid excuse?

D they were taking it to ward off asthma, like Essendrug did with their drugs and cancer

Keefe and Josh Thomas (The Age)

Surprised that they have named them.

Is that legally okay at this point?

Yeah the HUN article says the players agreed for it to be made public.

Be careful what you gloat about hh

precisely OD. widespread abuse across the game over a long time. no clubs are immune.

Could hardly come at a worse time for Essendon.

Wonder if Eddie planned it?!

I hear Warney gave it to them, from his mum.

Funnily enough © is entirely likely.

It better to find these drug cheats than to pretend they do not exist.

Essendon and Collingwood.

At least its happening to the right clubs.

Just take ANZAC day off them right now. What a showcase that will be....

Makes sence now why Eddie has been so quiet on the essendon saga

Watch them try to produce plane ticket stubs to Mexico and claim they ate bad beef.

Emirates will come to the party I'm sure.....
