I think a pro athlete actively trying to purchase or obtain a banned substance from a shoddy source should face a ban.

Martin Kennedy suspended by NRL

NRL

The NRL has provisionally suspended Sydney Roosters player Martin Kennedy.

This follows him being issued with a Notice of Alleged Anti-Doping Rule Violations under the NRL's Anti-Doping Policy on Wednesday.

The Notice alleged that Mr Kennedy breached the Policy through the possession and attempted use of banned substances.

The matter will now proceed to the NRL's Anti-Doping Tribunal and the NRL will not be making further comment while this process is under way.

Collingwood footballers Lachlan Keeffe and Josh Thomas face positive drug test

EXCLUSIVE

Two Collingwood footballers are understood to have tested positive to a performance enhancing drug.

The Magpie pair, Lachlan Keeffe and Josh Thomas, are believed to have tested positive to the presence in samples collected earlier in the year.

If proven the players are facing a lengthy suspension and possible dismissal from the club.

Collingwood chief executive Gary Pert did not return calls from Fairfax Media today but the Magpies are understood to be considering their legal position with regards to the players.

It remained unclear on Monday what substance the players had taken or how they came to have it in their system.

Pert made headlines more than two years ago when he alerted clubs to the game's illegal drug problem and "volcanic" behaviour by some players during the off season.

More to come

Essendon found not guilty by AFL. ASADA and WADA have 21 days to appeal the decision.

I expect wide condemnation of the AFL being too lenient especially from Wilson and Fitzsimmons, as they did with the Sharks punishments.

I also expect Joel Reddy to win this years Dally M player of the year.

well colour me surprised...:roll:

Did anyone think it would be anything different?

The AFL demonstrated throughout the entire saga that they were incapable of allowing the investigation to run outside of their control, Gil will feign shock I'm sure.

 

[Rosetta]

ASADA will announce whether they are appealing at 11am tomorrow......the delay leads me to believe they will just accept this whitewash.

The Sharks and NRL played for fools.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

What a shock.

Why didn't Cronulla all challenge the asada notices

Then the NRL could have said " no problem " at a trumped up tribunal


What a joke.

Abbott will want it to go away.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

WADA Dont care about Abbott

 

[Diesel]

Lol... Sweep sweep

Cut the funding, no more wasted tax payers money on this sport

 

[Frailty]

WADA Dont care about Abbott

Remember when WADA were going to appeal the Sharks deals? Me too.

 

[El Diablo]

Remember when WADA were going to appeal the Sharks deals? Me too.

that was the DT hoping they would

WADA and ASADA are more likely to appeal a not guilty verdict

 

[Perth Red]

Are we at the darkest day in Australian sport yet? What a joke, ASADA should be shut down and a new organisation with some level of credibility and decent process employed to route out drug cheats in Australian sport.

 

[gUt]

So the AFL finds the AFL not guilty and youse want ASADA to be shut down?

 

[Dragonwest]

Does the AFL lose federal funding now?

 

[elbusto]

AFL - smell the corruption!

Didn't the Brownlow medallist admit to taking a banned substance on national television?
