couldn't really give a fat rat's clacker about the leadership group what i want to see is 22 players each week showing leadership and common commitment to each other, on the field of play

a little increase 31018

i would suggest that not being illegal, is not the same thing as being legal just as in a court case not being found guilty does not always equate to innocence. the scots got this one right. i think macca's logic is that she was always taking it for an artificial performance enhancement, was ethically guilty and also pointing out that there is often a lag between a ped becomes available/in-use and wada being in a position to ban it. epo and blood doping was a good example. cheating is cheating regardless of wada.

can add jkh to that list too

she *may* get off eventually, though i doubt it if she does, it will probably take at least 12 months and she is on a provisional 12 month suspension on the basis of a positive drug test, so she will likely lose 2016 anyway. at the moment she is guilty until proven innocent. i sure hope she declared the drug at the time of testing as there is now a strong precedent for failure to do so.

well bub, there is technically (or legally if you like) wrong and there is wrong wrong i have little doubt, in the grunter's case, that she was using this little known drug, only made in the well know medical centre of latvia, and not available for medical use in most of the world, to gain a performance enhancement for 10 years the fact she was not in any breach technically till 2016 was merely a fortuitous circumstance for her

I'm, just waiting for slobbo to do a two page, heart-felt defence of sharapova in the herald scum and demand the wta sever its ties with wada.

uncle bitters, we held this thread in abeyance, in good-faith, for your good-self , in anticipation of your impending grandiloquence, now fgs just get on with it

you're normally wittier than that, irw. do you think he might have pushed fitzroy and collingwood further down the list?

for those interested.......(from wikipedia).... victoria stadium was used as a "working name" during construction. when completed the first official name became docklands stadium (which i think is still the official name, with other naming-rights names such as telstradome, etihad stadium etc not really being "official" names)

too late for waverly now, dd

was it. didn't know that. i always thought it started as docklands stadium

I'm now waiting for the dorks to suggest a new stadium at dingley and argue it is the demographic centre of melbourne

did you notice mcchins recommended it should be called victoria stadium i wonder where that name came from?

don't think they have been de-balkanised yet earl. takes quite a few generations

she's got 12 months provisional at the moment she has convinced no-one that she has been taking it for 10 years for medical reasons

a comadegy, bub

http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/vatican-praises-george-pells-testimony-at-royal-commission-20160305-gnbfsc.html go figure! understanding must come hard for the hard men at the vicarage

but you're such a shrinking violet, moonie. anyway if you are having problems there is always earl's guava paste. to quote hunter s thompson "wow! what a ride!"

pffft, a minor technicality

even eddie wasn't serious. it was just click-bait to keep eddies image up
