Michael Jennings - alleged breach of the anti-doping policy

[crocodile]

so an (alleged) cheating player should be allowed to play until after the season has ended? makes sense

Yes. It is alleged only at this point. He hasn't been found guilty of anything.

Be a bad look if we eon the comp and Jenkovic got the Clive Churchill medal then gets banned for 4 years. He needs to stand down based on international sport protocols.

Is it a coincidence this happens the year Elkin comes on board...?

Unless a few of them test positive then yes, I’d say it is a coincidence

 

[Gazzamatta]

So they are saying its more than one banned substance. Thats not good. After his disastrous 2018 his form improved coinciding with a new child and settled family life. Hard to see anyone putting all that at risk. Same stuff as Segearyo and Jacks apparently. Looks like a very sad ending to a great career.

All that too but I also understand the underlying principle of our heritage where one is innocent until proven guilty. Using the same logic, suppose we lost the GF in extra time without a key player and he was found not guilty.

Sports policy states you can’t play if your A sample tests positive. This isn’t a criminal proceeding. It’s sport policy. Jennings knows this, I know this, everyone knows this. And Jennings agreed to abide by these rules when he decided to a professional athlete. You want them to change the rules for Jennings?

I am a big fan of presumption of innocence but these drug ones always end up the same so P of G for me.
Either he has done this his whole career or he is trying to get one more contract. Either way totally selfish stuff.

I think they might come in the same product, not that it matters.

Allegedly.

Like I already said, I get that. I don't have to agree with it.

Xerri - Tested November 2019
Results May 2020

Jennings - Tested 21 September 2020
Results 9 October 2020

I couldn't understand the Xerri delay , pissed me off but then read some stuff into it

They, ASADA, were trying to get the big fish rather than just Xerri.

In other words they had Xerri followed and traced, all the while you would imagine Xerri thought he had passed or dodged being sprung so business as normal. They got him to do another test just before covid resumption, was no good either , then they announced it cause he was about to play his first game since the Nov 2019 test

The big difference for me is....
Xerri never played a game when tested positive in Nov 2019
Looks like Jenko played a couple

Though it did stuff things up for the Sharks. They woudl have loved to have known in November to prepare their season. But at the end of the day, its not about them, there was a bigger picture

interesting. Clubs should pay a price as well in my opinion as it happened on the clubs watch.

What if the player sourced them himself and only ever took them at his home?

Then you kill his family.

Yea that’s cool, as long as we agree that the club had nothing to do with it.
