Just watch the AFL squirm and spin their way out of this. They are not serious about drugs.

The AFL hate the WADA regime. They would much prefer to be like the major codes in USA and enforce their own policy.

First offence for PED in the NFL is a four match suspension.

 

Ahhh.....the good old days....

Isn't the reason that both NFL and Baseball didn't have a strong stance on doping in the past and the players stood up to being a part of WADA and the leagues have made these concessions.

This boy will be missing for 2 years at least, just silly

Well the NFL cannot function without artificial enhancement. Those freaks that play American team sports are not regular  humans.

Essendon demanding a re-match of last weeks game. 

Can we demand the whole year be re-played?

We might struggle, Petracca’s already put on 10kg and Melksham is in Spain running from bulls. 

 

Does this mean that technically we should have been in the GF last year? I thought the Eagles looked to be playing like a side on performance enhancers....

Perhaps we should share the flag with Collingwood? Well done lads, we've got number 13.

12.5 if we have to share it.


I'm annoyed that this has come out in the 24 hours leading up to their game tonight.  Would much prefer it to have happened tomorrow morning after the put Geelong out in straight sets.  Then we could've had Essendon AND Geelong fans going in to meltdown.

And for the posters questioning how this could happen - it's not the urine collecting officer's role to tell them not to tamper.  They just observe then report back to ASADA that the sample was tampered with.  Seems pretty straightforward to me, and makes that part of the process a lot more transparent.

This puts a stain on the impeccable record of a proud club. How could he have put the West Coast through this drama.

Silly boy !!

No 'tip-off' from HQ for starters.

Are you suggesting that the AFL tipped-off ASADA about needing to do the collection on a Tuesday?

Think you are misunderstanding what I wrote - what other people are questioning is how it (the tampering) could've happened given it was in front of a collector.

He was apparently caught red handed pouring the substitute liquid into the collection container, surprised he was allowed to play in last weeks final. 

He’s come out today and apologised, admitting defeat. Silly Willy, such an awful waste.

Ethan, I think him playing last week was more about the processes that ASADA have in place.  From what I understand (which is limited), I think when it was flagged by the collection officer, ASADA are then required to fast-track the case.

We're only talking a couple of weeks.  Given how long the Essendon saga went on for, for ASADA to notify the AFL 23 days after the event, I think is quite good (remembering that ASADA covers more than just Willie weeing in a bottle).

This article explains is somewhat...

From that article:

"The A-sample didn’t return any evidence of a banned substance in Rioli’s system, but the finding was that there was evidence of urine substitution, which is known as a “prohibited method”

If it wasn't a complete substitution this makes it even stranger.

I wonder what he was trying to hide, it wasn’t game day so they don’t test for cocaine and weed.

Well Willie clearly wasn’t trying to hide his willy in the hole he was supposed to.

No .... back to 2018 PF would be better.

Apparently he used purple Gatorade. 

Apparently it was a Gatorade slushy and he thought the cold day would work as an excuse

I want to know what happened to the poor bugger who thought he was getting a cup of Gatorade.....

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

  • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

  • CASEY: Collingwood

    It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
    The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
    Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
