I took drugs my whole career: Andrew Johns

[Tom Shines]

Deadset, if the Footy Show tonight isn't the highest rating show on any network this week.... f**k.

And if the Forum doesn't crack the 500 users tonight...

 

[McCrud]

So, what's the bet this 'shock admission' by Johns is only as a direct result of another media organisation having a juicy story of their own?

I can't believe this bloke is coming out with this willingly - I would surmise that he and his management have been 'tipped off' about the bucket of sh*t about to drop on them, and they have decided to get in first...

In house testing should have caught him- why didn't it? 12 years surely...

They test for recreational drugs (hence why Sargent was sacked from the Cowgirls)

Sargeant was busted yeah, but only after repeated warnings to stop (and those warnings only came because the Cowboys were in a form slump).

Im sure most people had heard whispers of this for years, not just recently. Craig Field was banned for cocaine, thats recreational, so why wasnt Johns.

[perverse]

ok... i've come to grips with how i feel about the whole thing now.. and i must say that as a knights fan i am absolutely shattered. i personally don't have an issue with drug use as i am exposed to it constantly in my life and am a very non-judgmental and tolerant guy... however this just reflects so poorly on the club i love... and for this to happen in a year that we are only 1 loss away from the spoon... yeah... i'm absolutely gutted. totally.. 100%... gutted.

i'll always remember joey for his on field prowess and his ability to control a game of football.. however most wont. i think that's what has me gutted the most... that our champion wont be a champion.

no fan of any football team deserves a year like we've had... not even a manly fan (coming from me... that means a lot).

Well in situations like this, you can either bury your head in the sand, or say "f**k you Joey." In this case, I've just about had enough of the Knights and all I can say is - when does this year finish?

 

[Holla if ya hear me]

Yer im sure that the AFL ios alll over the news in england..that would be top proiroty for the papers there..as if hed know about the Afl

:evil:

 

[eagle rock]

you only had to see the company he kept on his surf tours to know what was what.

Le Kook has a good point. No way he's gone hurri-kurri without being cornered.

In saying all that, I think his mental stability over the next cpla weeks will be a concern. I think the depression is a very real threat to him. Hopefully he gets the professional help he needs.

at least you've got the right guy throwing all these losers onto the dungheap where they belong.

the whole f*cking city should be behind brian smith now.

 

[legend]

What sort of shadow does this cast on the NRL as he would have been caught in drug testing surely?

 

[An41]
