2013 not 2012, which effectively means a 2 month ban.

you can't backdate a ban on players who played during that time, the notion is absurd.

 

[Plastered]

Yeah who f**ken knows but they are saying it is in compensation for the 2 year sideshow.

Yes, sorry guys. Meant 2013.

Has this thing really been going for 18 months ;-)

It is but it's a way around the min 6 month ban.

Hopefully the players see common sense & accept.

Depends what other consequences there are from it and which are the players? It could be just those who have left us, plus in accepting they have to admit to taking banned substances and always be labelled a drug cheat.

The other issue is if players do accept, does that then leave the club open to more problems due to a number of players from same team admitting to taking illegal drugs? Aren't there provisions for team penalties if players get banned?

I can see the NRL hitting us with point penalties for next season to ruin another year...

Only affect Gall, who wont like it. I suppose the players are on their own. Some can accept , others fight a ban.

 

[Card Shark]

ASADA have said the substances come under the S2 category, which is prohibited substances, opposed to S0, which is non-approved (yet to be approved).

So we were stupid enough to use drugs that were banned?

GHRP-6 is still not approved for human use!

 

[Card Shark]

I feel sorry for Dougie. His great sequence of consecutive games will end like this.

Hasn't missed 1 since game 1 2006.

 

[PHaTMaN]

Gal wont like it but it might do him good. No Tri-Nations, no fights, rest up and get the body right for 2015.

The cluster f**k continues

If it pans out that way (back dated suspension) then its a bloody good offer i guess.

I'd be surprised if Gallen is at all guilty, surely he'd be one of the most frequently tested humans in the game.

 

[SharkShocked]

Yeah, because I'm sure Lance Armstrong wasn't frequently tested.......

 

[Quigs]

Be interesting to really know what the Clubs attitude is. Bearing in mind that Essendon copped it up the ring until they said enough is enough and went in swinging.

Work out what this has cost our low hanging fruit of a club.

I am still snakey as over the Hartleys being cleared and the Rorters not even being entered in to the convo's re the players recording the abnormal blood tests.

Red flags everywhere but the poor old sharks cop it.

Anyhow ... sorry folks this has got a long way to run.

I heard on the radio that the players had to make up their minds by Friday... any one else hear that.?

 

[RUBIKS]

At least Wade wore a suit...

As far as players suing the club, they really should just sue the NRL. The NRL have deeper pockets and all player contracts are lodged with the NRL if I recall correctly.

It's the NRL's job to make sure the clubs adhere to a set standard of which they clearly failed.

 

[Generalzod]

Your kidding right Armstrong, I wouldn't never put Gallen on the same pedestal with Armstong, Have you read the ways Armstrong went on to avoid dope testing..

Yep I heard the same thing Quigs ....

 

[Card Shark]

If 1 admits guilt, he is offering "substantial assistance", which may lead to conviction of others that don't accept any ban.

Needs to be 1 in, all in.

 

[Quigs]

Did the Essendon blokes get issued with the show cause? Or was that all knocked on the head with the court actions.

You've clearly missed the intended point.

Being tested over and over and over has no bearing on whether or not the person may have possibly cheated.
