Brother, I'm as settled as they come But I see my error - Your post sounded as though you were saying he only played for Cows and Panthers, nothing but a misinterpretation

Yeah all good mate, my wording made it look that way

 

[myrrh ken]

Never had thes

No problems until he went to Cronulla. Just sayin...

Problems in the Riff and at Broncos.

No problems at Sharks.

Don't let the facts get in the way though

... Not ENTIRELY true... He was "consorting" with known crims when at the Panthers which I think may have been start of this particular slippery slope he is currently on.

No drug problems. Happy?

As a general rule... not really... I hate my job, can't seem to shake this f**king rash, and my kids drive me up the wall. But yes, I'm very happy you made that clear. Thanks.

In considering the circumstances of the breach, the Tribunal found that whilst Mr Segeyaro bore a significant degree of responsibility for the positive result, he had not intentionally taken the Ligandrol, which was likely to have entered his system via the use of a food blender maintained by a member of his household that contained residues of the substance. Having been satisfied that the doping was not intentional, the Tribunal determined that Mr Segeyaro was entitled to a reduced sanction under the WADA Code.

Mr Segeyaro’s suspension is taken to have commenced on the date of his provisional suspension on 3 October 2019 and will expire on 2 June 2021.

So he can play in round 13. Someone will sign him on base money.

which was likely to have entered his system via the use of a food blender maintained by a member of his household that contained residues of the substance.

Really don't see much point in this. The judgement is that he had a trace in his system from a blender, which did not benefit his performance in any way.

Having been satisfied that the doping was not intentional

Yet he still paid the price, albeit a shortened sanction

 

[Exsilium]

When I first read about the whole blender incident, I was like “gee, drawing a long bow” but it seems the authorities didn’t agree.

He’s always been an up and down player, the feleti mateo of hookers. He’ll get a gig for sure but there’s every possibility he’d do something stupid again.

 

[siv]

9 month or 12 game suspension for blender not washed

But 3 weeks for deliberate injections

Go figure

 

[This Year?]

We should have signed him to put some fight into our pack and add some punch to our attack.

 

[some11]

Broncos likely sign him as back up since it gets pretty f**king thin after Turpin (most people wouldn't even know who he is either).

Go figure

0 games missed for racking lines at a Grand Final.

 

[Perth Red]

I wonder how he proved that it was contaminated from the blender? Physical evidence or room mate providing evidence he used it for that purpose? Sounds a pretty good defence for any future sportsman if they can get a mate to fess up!

We’ll probably be about 6 hookers down with season ending injuries by then so we’ll pick him up cheap.

Longer than that. He didn't play all last year.

Shayna Jack is on the same one.

The can of worms opened by ludicrous defences like this (which WILL just be rinsed & recycled by other athletes and ALOT more thoroughly than they seem to be rinsing their blenders in between cycles) - the can of worms is why they went to mandatory 2 or 4 years sentences years & years back anyway. Not sure why they went away from that.

 

[Bulldog2020]

If he is unable to secure a contract with an NRL club, he should sign with the Hunters in preparation for playing for PNG at the world cup (assuming it goes ahead).
