If you can't see what has been happening here then you never will. So be it. I'm happy for it to be left that way.

I think the majority of people will fail to support ASADA and any penalties imposed on athletes after what has happened since Lundy and Claire called their gathering back in February. It is farcical to say the least. The general public will have lost all faith in their ability to conduct a proper, thorough and impartial investigation. The AFL have been looked after and the NRL have not been extended the same courtesy. Will ASADA reply to the leaked doc in the Tele and and truthfully address the issues raised???? I doubt it. But it is an opportune time for them to come clean (pardon the pun) and fix the major problems they have with their organisation that have arisen over the course of this "investigation". They need to fix the leaks they have.

I think Claire and Lundy should be held to account to explain the rhetoric they used at the now infamous darkest day presser. They tarnished all Aussie athletes when clearly they had no reason to do so. So, why did they do it? Why did they talk the talk when they had nothing to back it up with???

I say let's wait until the investigations are completed and infraction notices (if any) issued before making any BS subjective statements about problems with the investigation, pressers and integrity etc.

If as some have predicted AFL players receive no penalty whilst having admitted to or found to taken performance enhancing supplements; I will join the chorus of people questioning the integrity of ASADA and question whether deals were done.

it's obvious deals have been done as an AFL player went on TV admitting he took a banned drug and there has been no infraction issued

Apparently he is a very popular player in a sport with no International profile so that makes it okay.

Add to the fact his father is a 'legend' and his coach is an 'idol' and you have the recipe for a no fault situation despite that admission.

ASADA and the Federal Government are far more interested in nailing a struggling NRL Club than a powerful AFL Club.

Vlad and his cronies have done a deal.

I cannot help but think this is going to backfire. The NRL just has to keep firing away at the obvious bias.

The bureaucrats will crumble under pressure. They always do and then the blame game will commence.

He admitted he took a substance that is banned now. I don't think he admitted taking a substance he knew was banned.

Anyway, an amazing admission.

After the past 6 months and after all the information you have garnished, you're calling commentary on ASADA's investigative process BS???? Did you expect the twists, turns and leaks in a case such as this???? Or would you have thought this organisation may have been a little more professional???

Some light reading for you:

The public would take any infraction notices given now with a grain of salt.
