    Organised crime and drugs in sport investigation part II

    My bad I assumed the clubs were directly named at the press conference. I take back what I wrote.

    Organised crime and drugs in sport investigation part II

    My God that guys breath must smell like shit cause he sure talks a lot of bs. The AFL is so calculating in minimising any damage to its brand, notice how he has this amazing ability to talk up the club under investigation, downplay any effects it has on the current state of their *cough...

    Organised crime and drugs in sport investigation part II

    Cheers for all the media updates El Diablo. Another good example of this: Kate Lundy spokesperson said of a politician critical of ASADA initially naming the Cowboys that he was "playing politics during a time when the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) was trying to clean up...

    Organised crime and drugs in sport investigation part II

    Great question. I suspect they can't get to Dank directly; but players might be able to offer something on him. Either way they are potentially ruining the careers of players, pushing clubs (Cronulla) to financial brink & disrupting the business of sport to justify their "blackest day in...

    Organised crime and drugs in sport investigation part II

    I think your confusing the difficulty of maintaining a blacklist with a whitelist. A whitelist would be pretty straight forward - but then that would mean they would have to take some responsibility and help out instead of standing behind government incompetence and firing random potshots at...

    No probs Bottle, I hope ur right! Meanwhile magpie4ever responds with namecalling and a smilie. Whyyyyyyyy is he allowed near a keyboard? :? He would go well in government with so little constructive to say

    Organised crime and drugs in sport investigation part II

    No one is suggesting that. I am suggesting the perceived impartiality of ASADA can not be compared with that of the High Court. Unlike the High Court, I don't see ASADA mandated by the constitution. Also, ASADA directly reports to parliment: asada.gov.au Pretty sure the High Court don't have...

    Organised crime and drugs in sport investigation part II

    Not so fast there! Perhaps you need to brush up on your separation of powers since you want to talk about the Judicial branch with your High Court example. "In Australia there is little separation between executive and legislative". (The third being Judicial - is the example you gave, where...

    Organised crime and drugs in sport investigation part II

    Please stop posting straw man arguments ur wasting a good thread. ASADA is funded by the government: "The Australian Government provides funding of ASADA's ongoing capital requirements through the provision of approved Departmental Capital Budgets..." Who has the power in a...

    Yup anyone who suggests the government could screw something up must be a redneck and a loopie.... Prob best to stay quiet why the adults talk

    Organised crime and drugs in sport investigation part II

    What TLD (Top Level Domain) does the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) website have: asada.gov.au Hint: .gov is short for government. According to the Australian government, gov.au is: And how does ASADA describe themselves on there website: So who is getting confused...

    Organised crime and drugs in sport investigation part II

    How this whole affair is playing out really confirms my belief in: Government - Useless to incompetent AFL - Arrogant, propped up by government interference, an uncoordinated & sloppy sport followed by brainwashed zealots who take comfort in their myths of Australia's game & it somehow being...

    I agree.

    Channel 9 copping a pasting!

    Probably just the ones stopping ppl from harming other ppl? Tom Waterhouse should not be a concern for government though... More of a concern for channel 9 viewers, parents and fans of the NRL. Consider the Greens NSW party, who actually think its there job to spend our tax money on...

    Channel 9 copping a pasting!

    haha oh the hysterics! Those laws protect people from quantifiable, harmful actions & behaviour. Some merkin talking sh!t on the TV never killed a family of 4 driving innocently on the Pacific Highway has it? Oh wait maybe the "saturation" is the same as being "drunk" & viewers are finding when...

    Channel 9 copping a pasting!

    Not sure what I think about Tom Waterhouse, but I do know this: I prefer him over some w@nker politician in canberra telling me what I can and can't watch on TV. I'm happy for ppl to b!tch on here, to the NRL & especially to Channel 9. But Canberra is wasting tax payers money on scoring...

    Crowd Watch 2013

    I went to the game, and I thought it looked more full than I was expecting. I think the 4:30 kickoff is to please the 5:30 tv viewing audience in NSW? Which is frustrating from a GC/QLD point of view because if it was just put back an hour one entire stand wouldn't have to put up with direct QLD...

    Are the Gold Coast more tolerable???

    I think we have turned a corner from last two years - probably due to no Searle & no Prince. Without the Titans the AFL would be able to pretend it owns the GC... Early last year every train stop seemed to be plastered with Suns shit

    How many weeks should James Graham get?

    Can they add a few extra few weeks to his suspension for bringing the game in disrepute? SMH, day after NRL final: Bloody disgrace - Biting allegations against Bulldog James Graham tarnishes NRL's biggest night. Can't recall their AFL coverage but pretty sure it was something like "Amazing...

    How many weeks should James Graham get?

    ffs these channel 9 commentators are geniused. You would think they would utter a level of disgust deserving of such an action, ecsp. considering a lot of non NRL fans will be exposed to our great game. Just a really bad look for the game.
