Lachie Whitfield under investigation

It is the sheer lack of consistency by the agencies that appalls me

2 examples of supposed stupidity

Wade Lees ex Casey player served a full 2 year ban for importing but not using a banned substance

Maria Sharapova ban reduced, and she actually failed the drug test for banned substance, maybe if Wade was pretty and blonde with high powered lawyers might have got the same

Also

How ASADA has not even gone near DOCTOR Reid at Essendon is beyond me, yet nobody asks why

When somebody dobs in, the agencies never do the leg work, out they trot with an air of triumphalism saying 'look we are doing our jobs' 

How, if ASADA are so critical of Essendon's record keeping did they not know Whitfield had not been tested

Oh that's ok somebody will dob him in down the track

Wade Lees deserved 2 years, as did Maria. Fairly sure WADA wouldn't be impressed with Maria getting a reduction but that is not there fault.

ASADA did investigate Doc Reid, if you read the findings and statements from ASADA you would see that in their opinion he was removed from the whole thing and didn't know what was happening, and when he did he spoke up. Hard to pin a bloke for something that was actively hidden from him.

Again on Whitfield, this is not about him missing a test! It is about him not reporting his true whereabouts. Again, he did not miss a test so ASADA will have no such records of him doing so. How you expect them to know if he has reported his true whereabouts with GPS tracking him is beyond me. The only way they will ever find that out is if they turn up for the test and he isn't there or someone dobs him in.

You criticise ASADA and WADA a lot but you don't appear to have great understanding of the issues, the code, or the processes involved.

Oh let me think    the Russians,  Lance Armstrong so just minor misdemeanors 

How were either of these handed to them on a plate? They chased Lance for 10 years!

id suggest the inconsistency is the domain of the sport concerned...in this instance...the AFL !!

And didn't get him until somebody dobbed, my point

DOCTOR Reid removed from everything, assume that was deal between ASADA which surprisingly has doctors in its employ, AFL and AMA, now there is a grassy knoll for you

Again we are 12 months down the track with the Whitfield, nobody would be any the wiser if not for a narky girlfriendi

Just a technicality, Saty:  the AMA has absolutely nothing to do with disciplinary actions nor registration.  That is AHPRA, and I find it incredible that they appear to never have looked at Reid's role.

Hows hes not been struck off is anyones guess... Reprehensible and its not he alone that ought to hang a head low in shame

 

Saty...what we have here is a classic case of the Police  being hamstrung by the judiciary

WADA  have the Rules but the supposed aligned sporting codes'  tribunals etc are the ones who are letting them back out on the streets.  Sounds so familiar for some reason !!

Your comment on the scoring codes doing the wrong thing is not a WADA issue, except they need more teeth. These things are happening due to the sporting bodies. Your anger is pointing the wrong way. 

On Lance, they can only do so much, they knew it was happening and they chased and chased until they found a Crack and before you know it they all turned. 

With Whitfield, how could they have known without him being sobbed in? Your comment on that shows you have no idea what he is charged with, what the players responsibilities are, or what ASADA actually do.


WADA have written the BOOK..........but the sports codes are stuffing up the film !!

Or was it that he tried to make it a senator?

Hang on ... he said "Kingston Town Self Interest can't win this."

No wait .. he said, "Ed, my boss is coming over for dinner tonight and ... Ed, will you get off the phone?!"

It's not anger directed at the agencies, I just think they are useless and only have victories when as I say it is handed to them on a plate, I just think the air of triumphalism they then display is self serving and pathetic

We have been through all of this before without such as a  "boo" from Saty. The situation will never be done, along with the unknown unknowns.

We don't support these organisations we die. Simple!

Saty the thing you're missing in this case is the AFL tipped the bombers off that an investigation was coming, if they didn't know and couldn't destroy evidence imagine the things they would have uncovered, i suspect the biggest challenge they faced was the lack of material evidence that was left, 

Doc Reid was absolutely looked at, it says so in the findings, seemingly he was bypassed, which should be alarm bells for the innocent "duped" players in my opinion. 

 

The AFL expects a resolution within a week. When could the AFL bury this?  Melbourne Cup Day anyone?

Caligula .... an emperor of Rome with somewhat unusual tastes... was said to have planned to appoint his horse Incitatus a consul. He was assassinated before he could complete his plan.

Mind you the history writers of the time were a little biased so truth was a moveable concept (much like it seems to be with the AFL and others on this and related issue)

Yea Seutonius was probably doing a fair propaganda job with that one.

Edit: now I'm reflecting on the similarity of track between the ancient writers and their biases and those of Afl house/scumbag media.

Reckon you're onto something there Jim

A little off-topic, but a while back some guy playing Crusader Kings 2 managed to exploit a loophole and through much effort, got a horse to become Empress of the Roman Empire:

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
