Organised crime and drugs in sport investigation part II

[whall15]

I dot believe the investigation is politically motivated at all.

The press conference and all the other shit yes.

This investigation has been going for a while, why announce it to all and sundry now?

AFL prompted it with their own press conference imo.

AFL prompted it with their own press conference imo.

Whilst I have no doubt that is true, why couldn't asada have their own press conference to confirm that an investigation is under way, and has been for sometime.

There was no need for the 2 ministers to make a big song and dance about it.

When the investigation is complete then by all means use the "blackest day in sport" bullshit, provided it really is that bad.

 

[magpie4ever]

you like talking about Alan Jones

you been cottaging too?

Never heard of the term, before. Just pointing out he is the pin-up boy of the far right, except for his "little secret"; ok, it is not so secret.

Does this government deserve another term in office? probably not, except the alternative will be bloody worse.

More major political parties are needed in Australia.

That was the rent-a-quote former head of ASADA Richard Ings, not anyone currently involved.

Then why is it that the sharks and our game are getting f**ked over at the moment. All the talk is about nrl clubs and a couple of afl clubs.

They aren't getting fu**ed over. They fu**ed up. Big difference.

And the reason it is the Sharks right now is because they are first. Someone has to be first. The cops can't arrest every crim on the same day. Not enough hands.

All the talk is just that - talk. Buy into it if you like. The real action is behind closed doors. As everyone knows, this is about catching criminals, not fu**ing footballers. So if you think the "talk" about NRL and AFL clubs is at the heart of the matter (or of any real significance) then the big picture is being ignored.

Ahhh.... the rational post.

 

[herbert henry1908]

A cynic would say Sydney MPs are trying to shore up there local support. It's not like Lundy will lose her 'seat'. I'm still not buying this bullshit about the investigation being a politically motivated to take the heat of labor.

Most have said the press conference was political , not the investigation. There is a massive difference.

 

[chrisD]

I didn't say that -

Oh ok I gotcha, you just said nothing of consequence, again, for the zillionth time in this thread alone.

They f*cked up? What exactly ? No one has been found guilty of anything.


And you can blame the federal government for the talk, they were the ones who held the dog & pony show.

Your opinion, which you are entitled too.

The reason the sharks aregetting done over is because they are one of the smaller less financial teams in the comp. Could you imagine this was happening at a brisbane, souths or roosters. It would be mayhem.

To think this is about catching criminals..... Pffft not one criminal will go to jail for this.

The people to suffer most from this will be the players and fans.

 

[SharkShocked]

Just remember Dave Smiths words.

Multiple clubs, multiple players.

"It's onlyyyyyy just begunnnn"

Ten also call it the NRL drug scandal and make it out that no other code is involved

Brad McEwan

No one can accuse sports presenter Brad McEwan of not being on the ball.


The Bendigo-born presenter for TEN's flagship sports program Sports Tonight, has been involved in almost every sport, whether participating or covering.

Brad grew up in Lockington, with a population of approximately 300 people, and studied physical education at Ballarat University.

In 1994, Brad commenced a four-year period at Triple M Radio in Melbourne where he worked in the newsroom as a sports reporter and presenter.

In 1998, Brad left the shores of Australia to go and work in Europe where he enjoyed working briefly as a sports presenter for Edinburgh radio station, Scot FM.

His entry into television arrived in 1999 when he commenced work with Network Ten in Melbourne as a sports reporter.

In 2004, Brad moved to Brisbane as TEN's News at Five sports anchor, producer and writer.

During this time he also hosted Queensland's local AFL show Queensland Rules, and commentated from the boundary for many of the AFL games held in Brisbane.

In late 2006, Network Ten welcomed the new format of Late News with Sports Tonight, which tempted Brad to make the move south to Sydney in 2007.

Hosted by Sandra Sully and Brad McEwan, TEN's Late News with Sports Tonight combines the latest news with a comprehensive look at the day in sport all in a half hour format from Monday to Thursday.

In 2008, Brad joined Sandra Sully and Bill Woods as the sports presenter for Sydney's TEN News at Five. In 2012 he re-joined the new look Ten Late News with Hamish Macdonald, as sports presenter.

When not speaking or writing sport, Brad enjoys participating in all types of sports especially swimming. He still makes time for his other interests, which includes listening to music, cooking and collecting antiques.

Hold on isnt there growth hormones in chicken now?

No. Illegal here, but legal in the USA.

Wow - I didnt know the ASADA enquiry has finished, and the court cases have been completed. And to think I last read the news 3 hours ago. Things certainly move quick..........

To think this is about catching criminals..... Pffft not one criminal will go to jail for this.

You are as bad as Herbert Nostradamus :lol:

What are you on about clown ?!

I was simply stating they have a right to be presumed innocent until/if proven otherwise.

 

[Loudstrat]

No. You were saying no one has f*cked up - and your "evidence" was that no one has been found guilty.

Bit hard for a court to determine guilt or innocence before a trial even happens.
