Organised crime and drugs in sport investigation part III

[Parra]

There should be more teams in Sydney. Bring back Norths and Wests. And Illawarra while we are at it.

Great days.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

I'm deadly serious. And I'll be proved right. I don't deny I wish to see the back of the Sharks but it hasn't clouded my judgement on this issue.

Kinda hoping for your sake you're trolling hard crazy. If not one of the more deluded views I've read on here. Firstly a couple of facts...... Sharks are in fact one of the stronger Sydney clubs now......debt has been cut to less than 3 million thanks to the development not to mention the ongoing income stream it will continue to generate. Memberships are up 80% on last year and crowds are up almost 40%. Your statement that our current situation is related to our financial situation makes me wonder if you're the full quid. Finally worst case scenario ....if it eventuates that the Sharks brand is that badly tainted from all of this then I think the last thing the Nrl would do would re-locate such a tarnished brand. I appreciate your opinion as always but feel as though you are talking out your arse. Cheers

The Tigers are in a worse position than the Sharks. Relocate them first

That is very damaging to Dank's character.

He dismisses what WADA advise & will not contact ASADA to confirm the status of drugs in Australia, it seems. Probably because he knows the answer he'll get.

He is suing everyone, before they sue him.

You don't actually know all that. ASADA refused to comment due to privacy reasons.

Anybody reading that chain (as the Bombers have claimed they had a document) would not list that AOD9604 as not being prohibited from that exchange.

An extremely coincidental set of circumstances

 

[Patorick]

Quick tip: avoid the Telegraph today.

Peace.

 

[El Diablo]

News Ltd will be chucking a massive tanty about the injunction and will only publish anything negative

they are scum. worse than the phone hackers imo

 

[Feej]

I see that drunk and DUI convicted piece of shit, that impersonates a journalist is at it again. Sounds like sour grapes to me. Pretty obvious now that the telecrap will do whatever they can to bring the Sharks down.

F%#k 'em.

Don't forget glebe, Sydney uni and Newtown

ASADA look like they're rooted if no players come forward and roll over as The Australian reports they can't use any of the ACC findings as evidence against players or coaches

Meanwhile , the AOC are turning into the Gestapo

Compelling people to answer questions is f*cking disgusting. I hope some lawyers are all over it and bring it down.

Athletes and officials will be forced to answer truthfully all questions from anti-doping authority ASADA, under new rules introduced by the Australian Olympic Committee.

The new policy means that athletes and officials cannot avoid questions about doping, regardless of whether answering might incriminate them.

The policy covers those involved in both Australia's shadow Olympic team and final selected Games team.

AOC president John Coates has been a vocal supporter of stronger regulations to compel sportspeople to co-operate with authorities.

He emphasised the consequences facing those who refused to comply with requests from the authority.

"Failure to co-operate with and assist ASADA, in every way, can result in an athlete or official being ruled out of an Olympic Team," Coates said in a statement.

Those questioned will have to provide information and documents requested by ASADA.

Coates, who will address the AOC's annual general meeting on Saturday, also called on other sporting federations and institutes and academies of sport to tighten their anti-doping policies and rules.

People like Coates make me sick. Suspension of basic rights like this in order to control drugs in sport is worse than the drugs in sport.

Something like this is a very worrying trend. It may not effect you directly , but if it goes without being challenged others will try similar strategies.

Why? They don't have to compete in the olympics. They can take drugs all by themselves and play sport by themselves. That is their right.

And NRL players don't have to play in the NRL.

It doesn't mean their rights should be trod all over.


There should be a fair judicial process. Compelling people to answer questions with the threat of fine or suspension is not fair.

Exactly, I have to have a police clearance for my work, is it an invasion of my privacy that my work compels me to provide this?

Exactly. NRL players can go to the park and play with each other any time. They don't have to play NRL. They have the right to go elsewhere or do something else.

Of course not. You don't have to work for them.
