Michael Jennings - alleged breach of the anti-doping policy

[Noise]

That reads like “I took a supplement that wasn’t on the banned list and I’m shocked it had banned stuff in it”. If that is the case then too bad.

 

[Gronk]

No his go

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 didnt know this

Sure but if true it's better than the alternative.

The biggest issue for us going forward is that whilst Jennings is out clearing his name we probably won't be able to use the money he is taking up under the salary cap.

This appears to be the situation that is occurring with Xerri at the Sharks. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/fo...mple-comes-back-positive-20200901-p55r8m.html

Looks like Opacic it is at this stage.

You'd think as the b sample will come through in the coming weeks that Jennings would be paid until the end of the current year, November.
I'd say by late this year a final we could start planning for new signings

Better for who? Jennings conscience?

 

[hineyrulz]

Get up you B Sample Merkin!!

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Better for who? Jennings conscience?

Yes. And his reputation. My opinion of him at least.

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

He should have got Kenny Edwards to piss in the jar for him.

Or Bea Arthur, two plodders one Stone.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Im thinking the analyst who investigated Mennings sample is a dirty, rotten, slimy bunnys supporter. Grrrrrrrrr.

 

[Bandwagon]

Shit doing it today, could've been the beginning of the week , or tomorrow. Punishes the entire club over what is still unproven.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Get up you B Sample Merkin!!

If you throw $100 on it Mennings is f**ked.

 

[hineyrulz]

I’d stop Cameron Smith I’m that useless.

He couldn't because that moron BA got rid of him!

Michael Jennings: Parramatta Eels plays suspended under NRL anti-doping policy

Parramatta Eel Michael Jennings has spoken after being suspended for alleged doping, ruling him out of tonight’s elimination final between the Eels and South Sydney.

The Parramatta Eels’ Michael Jennings has released a statement after the star centre was suspended for alleged doping before Saturday night’s crucial elimination final against South Sydney.

“I am totally against any form of cheating in sport and am completely shocked to find myself in this position. I will do everything I can to clear my name,” Jennings said in the statement released by the Eels prior to the match.

“I have dedicated the last 14 years of my life to playing in the NRL. I would never do anything to jeopardise my standards, my reputation, or the legacy I leave, especially for my son.”

“I am completely shattered that I won’t be able to play with my team tonight. We have worked so hard to get where we are.

“I have every faith in the boys and wish them the best.

“This is a really difficult time for me and my family, but I will work with Sports Integrity Australia to progress this case and clear my name.”

I never forgot this incident where he pulled the race card against innocent police only to plead guilty later. You've done plenty wrong in the past MJ and nobody takes steroids accidentally. Enjoy your retirement and good riddance.

Didn’t ASADA do the same thing with the Cronulla kid Xerri two days out from the resumption of the game ?

U wonder if he played for another club that it might have taken till end of season ????????

Timing.
Contract up, old and injuries. Along with coronavirus running wild in Europe meaning no UK top me up contract.

Maybe he played the odds knowing his body wasnt going to perform well enough to get a contract. Figured he retires now and gets a normal job or takes the risk of a boost to land a 2yr contract and another 250-300k a season. Odds of getting caught perhaps where 5-1 so he thought it's worth it.
His other option was just to retire. He was spent and his turn around on form to me suggests that if you join the dots to reasons why he may take something it makes sense.
