Xerri test sample B

Personally I think the kid needs the full 4 year ban, just so he can learn about himself a little bit more.
If he gets it reduced to 2 years I daresay he learns nothing useful.
Do they include this year as part of the ban?
If so, he's got his pay for this year, $250K I think, that would easily spread over 2 years, and in that second year he'd just train in preparation for the year after. Its the easy way out where I dont think he will learn that much except that he got away with breaking the rules.
Give him the four years and it will probably go either one of two ways. He either becomes a grub like say Watts, or he becomes a young man who has learnt a big lesson, and turns up a better human being.

Tend to agree. Maybe 3 years is optimal haha. 4 years is a f**king long time to stay on track without solid direction at that age.

I reckon he hasn't been getting much solid direction at all, especially in recent times.
Maybe he needs a whole new direction

So it took less than 3 weeks to get Jennings‘ sample back. I thought ASADA, or whoever they have rebadged themselves to, were very, very busy with COVID and these things took at least 6 months?

Yeah but the finals are on, Arseada need the profile. Xerri's got announced as the restart to the comp was about to happen.
They have no agendas......

So what happens once a ban is in place? Is he just forgotten about by ASADA? I can't imagine they would continue testing Xerri since he would then be unemployed by the NRL or any other sporting franchise. So could he then hypothetically get on the gear hard for 3 and a half years of the 4 year ban, then clean himself up in time to return to professional sports?

I always wondered that about Hayne, and to a lesser extent Val.

Weren’t operating under the same rules over there, with means and opportunity.

So Jennings from reports allegedly tested positive 21 Sept, plays 2 more games then the club is informed game day that he is too be stood down.

Different rules different clubs, I could have seen that being done to us
