No, The EFC are now in the gun. Illegal PED's ordered and paid for. Intent clear. The EFC are worried for their future.

It may have been too hard to prove that the players had intended to use prohibited substances if they did not know what they were taking. However as I have said several times in my opinion it makes the club more culpable. Intent clearly there, Illegal substances ordered and paid for. Edit: I cannot believe that ASADA - WADA could let them get away with this obvious rort. They ordered and paid for PED's. I still expect a big stick, but now it will be the club. This is still game on.

One would hope that based on the above that the club can be found guilty of intent to use prohibited substances.

Not comfortably satisfied TB4 administered! It doesn't have to be administered.

You are not alone. I was also wrong. I am waiting for the acronyms to kick in ASADA WADA CAS

cleared!

Just sat down at the computer with chips and a coke. Just like going to the movies.

Rjay, Tim Watson says he has spoken to Danks three times and has been told the players have not taken illegal drugs. Danks has stated that the players took TB4. Danks also said it was not a banned drug. Every time I have checked TB4 is not approved for use or banned. If not approved it is banned by default. If banned by default it is illegal. Now I am no Rhodes scholar but to me I think the players are in for a world of hurt, perhaps Tim Watson is gullible or at the very least wishful in his thinking but he is not a moron.

And 2000 for good measure.

Thanks Seraph, I had no idea what NAA meant. "over tread"? I agree, there will be many more posts after today, I am guessing at least six months worth. Mod's please let it continue. If NAA doesn't like it don't read it.

I note that you are not recommending this, as may be contravening contract with Foxtel.

Collingbuterol?

Sorry OD but the pedant in me cannot resist. June does not mean Gemini. The last 10 days of June are not Gemini plus the last 10 days of May are. So you have a 50% chance of being right which is probably better than astrological predictions. Which I might add are a load of hokum.

What's new?

DC, my question was if they got off because they were duped. Which I would think would lead to more problems for the club as the duper. (Is that a word? You know what I mean).

If the players escape penalty because they were duped (which I doubt) the question remains who duped them? Surely the club becomes more culpable if the players get off. Therefore any penalty the players avoid should be served by the club.

Thanks for the training reports Saty. Thought I'd get in before the shilt storm.

Ecclesiastes 3:2 or

There is a solution to this, ban the club for two years.

That's where I disagree Ernie, And that beard of yours is inappropriate.

So many anal types, makes me feel quite at home. No you morally corrupt vagabonds I was referring to anal retentive.

This is a training thread! I have 3 cars for sale, an old Falcon ute, a 2013 Corolla and an old Pajero sorry 4 cars also a 1976 Chrysler by Chrysler convertible. (seriously)

Provocateur.

Saty I implied that you were bad tempered and argumentative. At no time have I ever commented on let alone thought about the appropriateness of your wedding tackle. I will now have nightmares thanks to you.

Stigga I think you can have your opinion and share it providing that you do not break the rules of the site and remain relatively politically correct. Warning :- TDI is a stroppy old pryk that provides fantastic coverage of training. He is also known to bite. I actually like most of his reports. In my opinion feel free to share your opinions.
