4 years for smoking some weed. It’s legal is some countries. What is the world coming too?!

It's the tampering of the test which earns the 4 years. For years that clib trotted out the Ben Cousins never tested positive defence. Rioli with foot issues was struggling to get up week to week. We'll never know why he tampered with the test, they will maintain the line of it was only ever Cannabis. 

If that's the case take the test, get a strike and maintain anonymity

You know the 4 years would be for sample tampering, not weed.

Stop trying to push a pro cannabis line by stating untruths.

Something tells me Moonshadow doesn’t approve of people who smoke weed  

 


Mary Jane could def be performance enhancing if used to calm nerves a few hours before game time (can't imagine actually being stoned in a game would help)

You'd think giving up weed in exchange for a six figure salary to play footy is a complete no-brainer.

...but apparently not.

There is no way you’ll ever convince me that weed is a performance enhancing drug in any contact-sport. 

 

Can't think of any sport it would be performance enhancing.
Not unless delayed reactions times were important.

What about the 'Munchies Cup', held at 4am world wide that may involve kebabs, pizza or Cheezels?

The only “sport” I could see it helping in would be Fortnite.

4 years for tampering with a test.

A fine and counselling for first positive test.

4 weeks off for second test and publicly named.

12 months suspension for third positive test.

It doesn’t matter that it’s legal in parts of the world, marrying your sister and marrying a 10 year old is also legal in other parts of the world. Doesn’t make it right.

Nope .... You need fast reaction times for Fortnite.
You'll get cleaned up by kids all day long.

Actually,  I've thought of one .... Fishing.

How many warnings do they need? Tampering with a test is severe IMO. They know the rules, they attend WADA/ASADA training and awareness sessions, do the crime....

Forgive me for not doing my own research here, but was Rioli looking at missing out on finals matches had he just ‘fessed up to a bit of weed?

Sure, at the elite level. 

I’m talking about the local intra-share house comps.

Not sure, since he was named publicly it was at least his second positive result.

Hmmm, 

Obviously his attempts to deceive the testers were foolish and naive, but the prospect of missing (and the pressure of not missing) finals might have persuaded him to take that clumsy risk.

While gaming on dope is fun, Fortnite is a game of reflexes.
You gotta build like a madman and hit those shots and if you delay for a split second .... You're back in the lobby.
About to have a couple games now with the kids.... ?

Above I suggested fishing.
But second thought at the top level you still need focus.

Makes sense. 

I can understand why some a questioning how canibis, weed, etc can be a PED on game day, and I'll attempt to explain why. ASADA, WADA, etc are not after the guys that smoke weed, they're after those that are using a liquid extract from it that can calm nerves, but also reduce pain and increase pain threshold. This small liquid dose doesn't give you the mind numbing effects, but because it is from the same plant, when they test for it, it comes back positive even if you've smoked it, and thus you are penalised regardless. I hope this helps explain it.

Sounds like the same effect of camomile tea. Is that banned also?

I merely tried to explain why it was tested for. If the only way of having it was through a puff or two, I would imagine it would be a detriment as you can't control the dosage. But in some countries, this extract is used medically for pain, anxiety, ect. Which is why it is tested.

And tea, of any variant, only has Caffeine in it, which isn't considered PE unless in extremely high doses, but go right ahead and assume that people only use weed to get high.

Chamomile tea has no caffeine. Players should get on to it before it gets banned. No need for the weed extract and associated complications.

Having a look at the tea, the molecules that cause the above effects are in low doses. If one of the molecules were to be extracted from the plant in a high dosage and then taken, then yes, it would be considered PE. It's the same with other tea regarding caffeine, which I've stated above. When a natural element is taken out of its source and artificially taken, is the main problem. Most PEDs come from natural sources such as Chamomile Tea.

Chamomile tea isn’t banned, THC is. Simples. 

I drink a chamomile tea every evening, might try smoking it tonight.

  • 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.

    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.

    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.
