Have you considered that Hibberd might just be a good bloke and that he's been fitted up on absolutely no evidence by a foreign court that doesn't understand AFL?

Those boys have done nothing wrong and look at how much they've suffered already and it will be a celebration of something or other when they return to the game.

Welcome to the future.

Please no more... my GP tells me uncontrollable laughing is not good for my health.

OD, I'm trying to work out whether "reverse" means your doctor said uncontrollable laughing is good for your health or whether your health is not good for uncontrollable laughing. If it's the latter, I think you'll need to explain a bit more.

Don't forget the priority draft pick to go with Pick one and the "No Soo Ars"  fifty million dollar donation from the AFL.

We didnt do it, but if we did, it was only half of us, so the other half should have been found innocent also.

Smart, professional,qualified people. Are we to think that their method of operation was to say "i will take it first to show that it is ok"

And by the way i am off overseas for a little while!

This morning brings the news that the head of that European IOC has been arrested in Rio for being involved in a ticket selling scam.

Hardly a surprise I guess but I think it is time this organisation was disbanded it is now reached the stage of high farce.

Maybe they could merge with FIFA?

[Mazer Rackham 14,971]

Mafia mobs and bikie gangs don't merge. They work out lines of demarcation.

The only thing the IOC and FIFA have to offer each other are tips on various scams the other might not have thought of yet.

Sadly I have lost interest in the Olympics. The drugs, corruption and politics of the event have led me to switch off. (I did watch some of the swimming.) 

I hope that the evils that exist at Olympic level sport do not expand in the AFL beyond the EFC or I may be lost to the AFL as well.

Thankfully there is netball, perhaps one of few untainted sports.

Robbo blatantly intimated on 360 tonight that Essendon tanked the Lions match to ensure pick 1 was theirs.

 

All those number one picks helped Carlton. Go for it Essendon!

I used to be an avid watcher, and recorder of Olympics and of Le Tour.........but have totally lost interest due to drugs and corruption.  Maybe I am just an old curmudgeon.   But if AFL continue to fiddle with our rules, and turn a blind eye to drugs, then I will lose interest there too.

Then again wonder what Bolt is doing after the Olympics? We could put him on the Rookie list, he could just run the ball out of the backline all day!

[FireInTheBennelly 4,072]

Does anyone know if there's any drug testing of these banned players during the ban?

Considering Essendrug has now managed to turn their cheating program into a number one draft pick (and potentially priority pick), as well as an 'enhanced' salary cap, is there anything to stop the players juicing up to the eyeballs whilst training during the suspension, and then work back from the end of the ban to determine when they need to stop injections so it flows out of their system and can't be detected post-ban? The only issue would be ensuring no tests were done close to the end of the ban, by, I don't know, disappearing on a Euorpean tour, or something.

Is there ongoing testing of temporarily banned drug cheats?

Thank goodness we've improved our trading and recruiting. Just a few years ago we'd have been more likely to end up with Andrew instead of Usain
