Can you accommodate 17 people at once in the Benny Barba Rehab clinic.

Just asking because this could blow over in a week or three if the alleged offenders get privacy and are left and encouraged to get the necessary help.

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.

Even by taking those substances, does that mean you will automatically fail a drug test?

I have my doubts....There is so much confusion with the hundreds of substances that would be available.

As a Parra supporter, the players should stand their ground and tell Asada to urinate elsewhere

Friggin Labour Party monkeys set the whole thing up for the sporting codes without much evidence to save Juliar, what a joke

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

Essendon players were issued with show cause in late June/early July and then Essendon launched the court action to have them thrown out based on the theory that the investigation overstepped the scope of the ASADA legislation by having a joint investigation with the AFL.

Decision from the judge is expected next month.

Strange, a decision to be made next month re Essendbonk's court case,and the Shark's players are required to make a decision within wait for it......48 hours.

It seems to me ASADA are trying to screw the BB&Ws, before the possibility of a negative decision against them(ASADA) in court in Melboring.The political interference jazz.Gillard stuck her beak in at one stage.

John Fahey former head of WADA certainly ripped into ASADA and the prior Govt.

Well that's the way I am reading it. ASADA want results before the court decision down south. That is why I am all for fighting the claims and for any action to come after the Essendon matter has been heard.

ASADA playing a strategic game here, they know the Sharks mentioned once before would not go the Essendon route so give them some show cause notices they take the ban which is basically a nothing ban and ASADA will say we caught someone.

So let me get this right... If the boys accept the bans from ASADA which are apparently drastically reduced and are a token ban and they (the boys) feel that they did nothing wrong but have been made an offer that they can't refuse.

Have I got it right so far?

Anyhowse what's this John Fahey and Cootes saying about if the bans are suitable enough and are just token bans then WADA will appeal the ASADA decisions.

Now let me see - have I got that bit right so far.?

Okay so if the boys take the early plea and the WADA says f**kkkkk youse not good enough then who will go to bat for the "guilty" parties (the boys) or will they just be hung out to dry.

I am spewin now over the Hartleys and the Rorters sitting back making sure no one lifts up the carpets to see what has been swept under it.

I SAY FIGHT THE f**kKKERS TO THE VERY END OF IT.

Firstly, it's Black, White and Blue... None of this Big Beautiful Woman bullshit thanks.

Secondly, regardless of the decision in Melbourne, it would have absolutely zero effect on the Sharks case.

Swear some Sharks fans have their heads in the sand.

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

that's not really my point.

What I was getting at is that due to the huge number of tests Gallen would do, he'd be more conscious and less inclined to take risks regarding supplements and injections, one would imagine.

If they had evidence why not just use it?
Why offer reduced deals etc after all this time?

Sounds pretty strange.

ASADA believed they had evidence they would produce it or wait till Essendon was beaten in court as then panic would set in.

But to offer light deal its like saying we got those Sharks even if lose case against essendon.

Because when its finished we will find out how much $$$$ its cost and if they got no one heads will role

Asada simply can't have a compelling case if their reported offers are true.

Their only motivation I can see is they don't have enough evidence and are trying to dupe players into confessing. This may sound good if players are guilty or just want the sorry mess behind them, but seems to carry the real risk of some higher authority imposing greater penalty on them. So as much as I'd like this khanting thing gone....

If I'm a player and have taken the wrong stuff and there is not enough evidence to prove it, then fugg asada and every other merkin.

If I'm a player and haven't taken the wrong stuff, then fugg asada and every other merkin.

Either way the answer is the same.

So now the players' heads are completely done in - do we fight for our rights and our reputation and plead 'not guilty' and have the drama go on for another 6 months, or do we take the 'guilty' plea and get ready to play in March 2015, knowing that the season is gone anyway?

The smart money says take the punishment.
