MFC supplement scare

My hope is it is purely a precaution:  We are responding to what has happened to the swimmer by being ultra-cautious. I’m sure we will get a lot more testing now (red flag to the ASADA bull), but *hope* there is nothing to see, just good governance to remove an identifiable risk....

    Its all starting to make sense now......Why McDonald was missing goals from 20m out.....why Angus looks lost and players were not taking shots from 25m.......and Pruessy manning the mark the wrong way......theyre on the good stuff!

    More like the bad stuff. ?

    Don’t bet on it Ethan, having sat in about 15 lectures from ASADA, cross contamination is one of the leading factor in positive drug tests in athletes. Every athlete (and coach) from about 14 years of age that has any involvement with Australian and state based teams must complete a host of education measures including completing an online module provided by ASADA. I myself have to complete this module yearly to remain qualified to coach on teams. In those modules it discusses the very topic consistently.

    Heres an interesting article on the Shayna Jack issue:

    And a link to the topic on the ASADA website:

    https://www.asada.gov.au/substances/supplements-sport

    interestingly Swimming Australia is sponsored by a supplement company, so they must be considering their position right about now.

     

    I don't think any of Norm Smih's teams took any supplements - how about just some good wholesome steak?  ?

    Supplements have destroyed EssUndon's brand forever.   Why use supplements at all?

    Cause no Aussie athlete would take performance enhancing drugs on purpose.
    We're far too righteous for that.

    No Chinese players at MFC, and not too many performing so we are surely in the clear.

    Might also explain why Trac swam toward the bottom of the pool rather than across it Wadda.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
