"It cites interviews McLachlan has done with journalists and alleges "the AFL contributed significantly to the exposure of players to risks to their health and safety" by failing to regulate against the use of peptides before September 2012." You mean by signing up to the wada code and running education sessions from everyone from under 16 TAC cup up to afl level every year? THE PLAYERS LIED TO ASADA

I dunno why the hell if youre an essendon apologist youd be bringing it up! Surely youd just zip it and hope everyone forgets about it. What a disgrace from the afl

http://m.bbc.com/sport/athletics/38744846 GoodBye the "triple treble" Will he return it or will he "lose" it and "return" it

Yeah i keep seeing ess supporters asking people to explain why wada asada etc never charged hird. BECAUSE THE CODE DIDNT CHARGE SUPPORT PEOPLE ffs They had to change it as a result of this Besides, its athlete v "doped" athlete on the park so who has actually cheated.

Why the hell would they want a Senate enquiry???? Itd be an open shop and essendon people like dank would have to answer the hard questions! Wheres your brownlow now? Why didnt you tell asada what youd been taking Where are the records Etc etc

No and no

Doesnt matter how bad my english is The point is roughy is actually a returning hero and a great story and deserves to be captain But essendon will welcome back their drug cheats with a big march to the g and pre game stuff and reward one of them with the captaincy. On the same night roughy returns. At the same ground.

Sorry. My post was critical of essendon having a big celebration to welcome back their drug cheats when the real comeback story leads out the other team.

So when round 1 comes along and yhe bombers play the hawks we will have 2 new captains. One returning from a year ban after drug cheating. One returning from a year out fighting cancer. Who gets the "returning hero" march/celebrations? I feel sick.

"Media give us some peace" family and supporters go into the media and do interviews *silence/agreement* one person reminds everyone of the truth "media scum whyd you say anything youre filth" cant believe it anything for a story Fucjwits everywhere

And ask an essendon supporter what they think of caro! Smithers is on the money in that the only path to anything like redemption lies in brutal open honesty and actually taking responsibility. Something no one at essendon has yet done in any way shape or form.

Well when a winner is found to have drug cheated and then "returns it" but actually keeps it and the governing body doesnt care id say it has no value

I first came across the article where it had been posted on twitter.... the replies! People saying patrick should be charged with attempted murder and stuff. Honestly im now dumber for reading them

Their whole club should have been banned last year. 34 players guilty? Club instigated and lead doping regime? Losing 12 players, picking up 10 others and getting pick 1 wasnt much of a punishment. Whatever happened to "2 athletes in a team guilty = team suspension"? Lets not forget the previous punishments were for "bringing the game into disrepute" because they had no records...

The switkowski report was very illuminating.... they paid a guy to do a report and it came back with "pharmacologically experimental environment". I mean, their own report said that.

Except for all the text messages between him and dank.

Half of hirdys problem is that he actually believes the stuff he says

He's a bit of a Shakespearean tragedy. A flawed character. I hope he finds peace down the line.

The path to redemption is paved with brutal raw honesty.

I must admit i thought youd cracked a joke... Interesting channel 7 are reporting that and everyone else is saying "major health scare" #scum

And Jab still hasnt handed back the medal.

I think hawks fans will let them have it.... and ill be supporting them Especially if Jab hasnt "found" his medal by then

When he ACTUALLY hands back the medal. Besides - wait until the senate enquiry or someone sues because they get cancer
