The AFL are saying, you cheat and we'll sweep it under the carpet and bugger the clubs doing the right thing

Cheers for all the media updates El Diablo.



Another good example of this:
Kate Lundy spokesperson said of a politician critical of ASADA initially naming the Cowboys that he was "playing politics during a time when the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) was trying to clean up the code."

Pretty obvious she was playing politics the moment they had their "darkest day in sport" press conference and starting firing off names of clubs without producing any evidence or actions. This has a name: McCarthyism.



But hey at least now through Government incompetence they can now spin it to justify increasing their powers and increase spending our taxpayers money: corporate.olympics.com.au/news/parliament-to-debate-increased-asada-powers

More government incompetence begets more incompetence and more government. Cant wait to have kids so they can spend the rest of their lives paying off the interest for all this government spending!

See: townsvillebulletin.com.au/article/2013/03/15/377398_news.html for Kate Lundy spokesperson quote.
See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism for McCarthyism quote.

This is BS; the media named the clubs by a process of elimination - ring the clubs and ask have you been named in the ACC report - any club that answered no was wiped off the list, any club that answered "no comment" was found guilty by the media.

No official from ASADA or government named the clubs.

You sir, are the one using "McCarthyism" by stating lies as if it is the truth.

not true

the names were first leaked to Melbourne AFL media who had all the clubs names and they did not make one phone call

the Cowboys had not been contacted and told they had been mentioned at the time that was online

ask the journos who told them

they didn't give their source

it was not the NRL or any of the clubs that told them though as some of the clubs had not been notified yet

Thank You, whilst for whatever reason (probably, your political beliefs) you couldn't force yourself to directly say, no; you did answer the question as - no.

that's not even close

you claimed this has nothing to do with the Government yet the NRL CEO had to meet with the PM to to seek an assurance that all codes will get treated the same

you are asking me to name the source who leaked info to AFL journos

all i know is that it wasn't the NRL or any of the 16 clubs

if you read that article it also has been accurate with numbers too

that article is from February and the NRL only released numbers in the last couple of weeks
