Organised crime and drugs in sport investigation

Manly Low to Medium - release statement saying no players failed drug tests.
Cronulla have released a statement saying no players failed drug tests.

Huge difference. Cronulla very quiet..............

All clubs were told of what category they fell into. Low, Medium or High. Three clubs have claimed low, one low to medium. Cronulla and Penrith are the only ones who are not reporting their level of involvement.

Someone must be high. To make an exaggerated claim there has to be something to exaggerate.

All we've seen is claims and exaggerations.
Not one shred of evidence.
Oh that's right they've been gathering intelligence not evidence.............

Thank f**k we've got asio looking into sports doping

This is not going to be about failing drug tests. Gus has suddenly changed his tune. Cronulla have gone very quiet! No emphatic denials from these two clubs.

Manly were low to medium.

Hey DJ, I wouldn't waste my time with the idiot. He loves death-riding us, and will say anything to that end.

Maybe back when the sharks first joined the comp everyone involved put lots of money on them to still be without a premiership 50 years later.

Anyone fancy backing them to go another 50?

If you know something why dont you post it?

Your speculation is as good as the next nuffies.

Here is an idea. Please reference in the report were it talks about low, low/ medium.

You may just find no reference and this is a phrase used by those clubs.

f**k off with you hate CT you bore the shit out of everyone.

It's a good point raised that Penrith and Cronulla haven't said too much on their grading of severity, however these 2 clubs could be under a difference scope of investigation to the other 4

What do they gain by making a public statement? The investigation isn't over. They only found out yesterday what they were being investigated FOR.
Anything they say now might come back to bite them later on.

the sharks are pretty tight lipped on just about everything these days.

 

[SharkShocked]

Yep, right now we are trying to wrap those lips around sponsors i'd imagine.

 

[SilentOne]

so it's just more evidence that they really have f**k all.

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

yep

Statement just received in Email to Sharks members...

Summary: No players have tested positive, ASADA investigation focusing on 'short period in 2011'.

As I speculated before, it really only is covering Dank's involvement with our club (who was also given the boot from our club).

The problem is that this kind of thing is like being exposed to a disease. If one high profile player from Cronulla (or any other club for that matter) hooked up with him during that short exposure to him, then a whole bunch of players may have followed on the quiet.

It rules out systematic club doping (which is very important), but it doesn't mean your players aren't doped independently.

 

[supercharger]

We have been through so much that would cripple any other sport.

I don't know, look at Hockey we've lost over 2000 games during the Bettman era.
But anyway I agree with your post, the game certainly is resilient

 

[El Diablo]

the head of ASADA will be on Richo tonight talking to him about this

I believe that this came from the briefing that ASADA gave clubs yesterday. The wording seems a bit too consistent to be made up by the individual clubs.

You are correct however that if it is just made up by the clubs, its not worth pissing on.

You would also wonder why other clubs named, didn't use the same "low" risk categorisation if they were just making it up individually.

It doesn't mean yours aren't either.
