There is one significant difference, though. It seems that Australian sportspeople caught doping are presumed by most Australians to be innocent until proven guilty whereas non-Australian sportspeople caught doping are presumed by most Australians to be guilty until they can prove their innocence.

You may never speak words more true than those  LDC

So very true

Cannot help but wonder if in a few years we will be reading about all the disqualifications from the recent Rio Olympics.

The performance of a certain female swimmer definitely raised my eyebrows and sent me off looking for her past performance record.

On the Wiggins affair just like the Bombers it needs to be made an offence for the player  to ingest something without proper records. This might stop the fiasco of the dog ate my homework excuse.

Finally what does this say about the recent dominance of the UK in track and road cycling. Naively I was thinking that the sport had cleaned itself up.

    Just remember .... he's SIR Bradley. That makes him half Aussie to start with. The mother country!

    Now take those Chinese!!! swimmers. And those Russian!!! weightlifters. You can see from just the look in their eyes and see they're drug cheats. You don't even need a tribunal or an investigation.

    It's clear someone in Team Sky went rogue. Just look for the person for whom everyone looks the other way and pretends they don't even exist, while attacking every other person or institution involved.

    Someone?! Mate there looks like a number of then went rogue, to many people involved for it to only be the Doc and Wiggins.

    I used to love the big cycling events, finding it harder and harder to stay engage. They don't seem like they really want to clean it up entirely or can't. Along with the questions on moto doping now days.

    The sanctimony of Team Sky combined with their propensity to create huge amounts of smoke while at the same time claiming there is no fire, makes the whole thing as suspect as it was when Armstrong was running the show.

    IMO DJ big sport is too rich and the rewards are too great for the majority of participants to resist drugs.

    The majority of sports are now tainted.

    I have for some time had no interest in the  Olympics, cycling, soccer and professional USA sports.

    I am a MFC fanatic and that is the only reason I have interest in the AFL. I seldom watch teams other than the side playing the Dees. If the MFC failed to exist I would have no interest in the AFL.

    Off topic I know but now that Essendon have axed general admission tickets to their Anzac day match and increased reserved seating prices by 50% I am so hoping that our Anzac eve match draws a bigger crowd.

    That was my assumption. I wasn't sure if they've tried to justify it some other way.

    Upping the price like that and there being no General Admissions makes a mockery of what that game is supposed to be about.

    It was supposed to acknowledge (and at one time, honour) what ANZAC stands for and to give the everyday citizen that goes to the dawn service, has breakfast a chance to then go and watch a game of footy. 

    It is now the preserve of the well heeled and well organised.  Lost all its ANZAC meaning at the altar of greed (and drug cheating). 

    I hope our ANZAC Eve game always embodies the ANZAC spirit where anyone can get in and it stays a game for the regular 'Joe'.

    Just further to this, i read that Coates was trying to be moved as well, could be trouble brewing in Australian Sports officials Circles, and i don't mean for the better. All to do with Oz's recent performances me thinks.

    Just to top it off, good to see half the TWSNBN players making it into the AFL Top Fifty for this year. Alright though if Melksham and Hibberd make it next year of course

    I know this is stating the obvious but, Regardless of the Pro EFC chest beating  and investigation into ASADa it doesn't change the facts Easendon don't have records what they injected players with nor the fact ASADAs investigation was found legal in the high or supreme court (sorry for my ignorance) nor the fact they were found guilty in the swiss high court. 

    Just sour grapes and im enjoying it.

     

    Personally im still waiting for james horss truth to come out that will prove essendon innocent......

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
