News Drugs, sex, domestic violence: football's dark cover up

[T-Boon]

What business is it of any bodies if Sam had an affair with some bunny boiler (pun intended). Publication of that text message chain is just about as low as journalism gets. The girl is clealry crazy so you have to forgive her role in it.

Go down your local magistrates if you want your fill lad. This shits no one's business.

The allegation that the club doctor falsified prescriptions and carried out drug tests in another name are extremely serious mate

 

[T-Boon]

Anyone who doubts how low the media is in conjunction with law enforcement should just watch Richard Jewell.
I am picturing that white trash journalist who helped ruin Jewells life writing this Burgess story. Not giving a hoot if it is true or not.

Yea fair enough. I worded it pretty poorly. The family stuff with Sam I'm not big on being aired out. But the Dr falsifying prescriptions is serious shit.

Only one part of these allegations is relevant to the club. The alleged drug use.

First and foremost I hate when "drugs" are in a footy headline and you have to read deep into the article to see it's not the performance enhancing stuff. Recreational drug use is entirely different and far less serious.

I think recreational drug use is pretty serious when it gets to the assaulting your 8month pregnant wife stage allegedly. Or you thing the "serious" bar is higher? Is it serious when your employer has to inject you with tranquiliser to bring you down?

that sounds made up to me. I think Sam's in-laws are loopy.

Would be interesting to see how much Bwaiff knew of these goings on, he is the GM of Sams management company. What an absolute shitbag (both of them).

But it’s his personal life, apparently. Typical souff sinney shitbag defending another souff sinney shitbag.

If what the doctor is alleged to do is true, he’s absolutely crossed a line and faces deregistration, or heavy restrictions on practice.

However the bit I feel sorry for him is that I’m sure attending the Burgess house is not something he was paid to do. I suspect he felt a duty to help Sam. And then found himself in a terrible situation. Whilst everything has turned pear shaped now, I have no doubt at that time that Sam’s mother, wife and father-in-law ALL wanted to protect Sam, his image and his contract (at the time). Whilst the father in law is now saying he felt he had no choice but to fill the script, the fact is he did it, and so is complicit in the whole thing. It’s only that the relationship has broken down that the family want to expose this and absolve themselves of any responsibility.

The doctor’s ethics should have risen above the pressure at that moment. But being painted as the mastermind of this is unfair- he had nothing to gain from this. It was Burgess and his family who needed the cover up.

 

[blue bags]

maybe they could tazer him, pepper spray him, assault him, set him up in courts for 8 months, what could go wrong

Charlestown seems a dangerous place eshay

watch till the end for a heartfelt dedication to Mr Yip

He's like the Aussie equivalent of J-Rock from Trailer Park Boys...

I can only guess its an investigation into the fraudulent prescription and possible fake drug test (not sure if that would be under the purview of the police. It might be)

 

[Pete Cash]

Yea fair enough. I worded it pretty poorly. The family stuff with Sam I'm not big on being aired out. But the Dr falsifying prescriptions is serious shit.

I also think the drug test being altered is a massive claim too. TBH those two incidents if proven should see Souths cop a pretty hefty fine and point loss next season. Its bringing the game into disrepute

The rest of the stuff is mostly Burgess business and for the courts to sort out. He sounds like a stupid thug but well im sure people arent shocked.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Getting an investigation with a name is a fair effort.
