OT: Drugs in Sport

There was a big press conference this morning in Melbourne with the CEO's of all footy codes present with the Crime Commission and ASADA.

@SMH says

Rupert Guinness: I've said for a long time that doping is not just cycling's problem. It is sport's problem and the corruption that goes with it. And it is a problem that exists in Australia as much as anywhere in the world. Many questions are still to be answered, but for now - until more specificity on the who dunnits, whens, hows and whys are released - Australian sport (and not just cycling for a change) will have to bear the brunt of scrutiny.
Cycling has had to carry this load pretty much on it own in recently - and cycling's problems are not over. But if the findings of the ACC report are acted upon properly and the sports implicated and those who are guilty are made accountable - today's pain for Autralian sport can be tomorrow's gain. But it won't be quick.

@ NRLCEO David Smith says: ‘
‘We’ve worked with the crime commission in the last week or so and information has come forward for NRL specifically that affects more than one player and more than one club. We’ve been working with the crime commission on a range of issues that are outlined in the report. We have already begun with ASADA, we’ve begun the investigation.’’

if and when clubs/players are found out what will happen? obviously bans for the players involved but what about the clubs involved? bans?

i was wondering this myself if a club was found to be dirty from top to bottom with coach, players, trainers all involved what choice would the nrl have but to ban the entire club?

lets hope it never happens

major concerns also over this 'dank' blokes time at cronulla in 2011.

hope this blows wide open and everyone involved is named.

FSN also says coaches are involved. could be AFL, but i have a feeling some NRL clubs will be nervous.

I think it'll just end up like the Obeid enquiry. They'll talk tough but it'll all get swept under the rug. That's what always happens.

It's Australian sport across the board


But cronulla would be sweating with the 2011 season possibly under question and also manly with the investigation to be under way

The muppet also didn't know the Storm were rorting the cap for five years even though blind Freddy could see something wasn't right down there. Thank god he's the A Leagues problem now.
