monoccular

I guess he perceives that his "good name"has already been tainted.

Well sure as hell he was given the placebo: the same as Cale tried. AFL supremo McLachlan may well say that, but Caro says otherwise.. Who do you believe?? AFL supremo or an angry bitter woman with a personal grudge??

Your final sentence is probably the key.

I guess though if Caro ever writes a column on this it will refer to him as "...the Melbourne player protegee of Cameron Schwab who left because he was disgusted at the match fixing going on at the club....."

And that I understand is the law as it stands.

i am sure that others like myself who cannot watch the program would appreciate a little summary of what was said, especially by the grass [censored].

as I recall, Geelong weren't exactly performing in Beemer's time there.

I too am dreadfully disillusioned about sport in general and AFL in particular this week. Has Vlad actually had his head so far into the place where the sun don't shine that he has missed all this? Have club managements and boards been either so complicit, or so derelict in their corporate governance duties that they have missed this too? I would hope, given our "performances" over recent years that we are clean: it has been noted repeatedly how physically inferior out teams have been for years. How will the 2013 premiers, whoever they may be, be viewed? Questions will now always be raised. Weightlifting has long been seen as a joke, and cycling especially in recent years, even pre Lacne announcements, regarded as a triumph of the best hidden pharmacologist. Now AFL - sh!t Vlad. You have taken your eye off the ball big time, distracted by the Olympics and by trivial accusations made by dumb ex players and vindictive bitter journalists. F A I L - EPIC FAIL

I guess there will always be those questions, especially when a club has surprisingly bulked up over a short period and brushed aside all opposition. Clearly, whatever faults and failings MFC may have had over the years, body building drugs was very clearly not systemic at the ub. Yes, it pisses me off too, as it must do to any clubs that may have (if any) enjoyed legitimate success during the "drug era". I once thought that Lance Armstrong was an amazing athlete to do what he did without drugs: how naïve I was.

I don't remember 1946, and '54 was a very unexpected GF appearance coming from the cellar the previous year (? similar scenario with a young remodeled team 2013?) - cannot hold a grudge against the Doggies for that one. I guess the only "question" on Craig would be that he was once associated with the pioneering doping sport (or on a par with weightlifting) , cycling. I have however never heard anyone question him in particular. Guilt by association would be the most nebulous of links.

I would have thought that the Eagles, who incredibly bulked up over two years would be at least looked at in some depth. Maybe that picked up Cale as a decoy to put ASADA off the scent? :-))

What a radical thought - do we share DNA characteristics with them then? Surely then we would, by extrapolation, with Caro too. I am concerned.

Maybe the leak didn't come from the AFL, after all they have an Integrity Department, so couldn't possibly happen. :-))) How about the ACC leaking too?

Totally unconscionable behaviour by any club. Shame, Bombers, Shame. Surely it is criminal, and presumably sanctioned by the club. Shame

Will Dimitriou use a STRONG ARM and LANCE this boil before it destroys the brand?

Cale was probably scared of needles;-)

Hiroshima Bombers ?????

Interestingly I was just thinking that - presumably, like the AFL Integrity mob, the Crime Commission leaks.

ASADA have however clearly stated that ignorance is no defence.

IF we were sold performance enhancing drugs any time over the past five years, I would be demanding (i) drug analysis and (ii) a refund

Yeah but even now the Witch couldn't resist the tanking dig, could she?

Perhaps the "Integrity Inquisitors" or whatever they are called need to get a mirror and look at the AFL first? The fish rots from the head!!!

Who knows: either complicit, or incompetent as a coach and leader. Has to be one or the other. And I ask again, has Jimmy's puppeteer, Thompson, been seen in the last few days?

Did anyone notice any secret injecting rooms? Oh - you said Gosh's paddock, not Windy Hill.
