"THE AFL is preparing to garner input from all of Australia’s major professional sports as the league seeks to improve the World ­Anti-Doping Agency drug code to make it a more appropriate policy in dealing with team sports. While the league’s intent is to always be WADA-compliant — and has signed up to the new anti-doping policy that came into effect on January 1 — it feels the code could be better structured to deal with ­issues that beset professional teams rather than individuals ...

A league spokesman said the AFL would always honour the mandatory WADA program but was eager to use the policy’s flexibility to finetune the code to suit the league and all Australian professional team sports ...

It is believed the league is not satisfied that the strict, intransigent confidentiality necessarily helps the public understand the policy. As well, there is a risk penalties can be unevenly applied.

Given that punishments are set out in stretches of time and not matches, two footballers could be guilty of the same offence but one spend his ban in the off-season and the other could miss a handful of games.

The league, not surprisingly, is worried the strict confidentiality that governs positive samples can put people in very awkward positions as well as clouding the process itself.

Where does it say "soccer" in the story? Football isn't even specifically referred, it is "all of Australia’s major professional sports".

Click bait thread title for a very broad article.

its a wamakie thread. You expect any different? ?

Even for a wamakie conspiracy theory this is pretty bad :lol:

not really. Have you not read famous horse assisted thread :lol:

Shit WaMackie thread as usual. Click bait crap

Who could forget Eddie McGuire running the Asian Cup 2015 opening ceremony?

I just remembered the one he did recently about climate change potentially spelling the end of the A-League :lol:

Shut up mates. If any of you were in a business meeting with this guy, you'd be eaten alive.

Of course, his renowned Business Acumen (still not sure why it needed capital letters?)

What's with the vilification guys? Formal complaints ahoy

Pretty confident that across many of the big clubs in Europe (and elsewhere) there is large scale doping going on. Maybe the AFL would like some help teaching their clubs how to not get caught?

This was just poor

Woah --- This thread is embarrassing.

ATTN: Mods, yep, every post on here, we’ll lodge a formal complaint.

Not because I’m being anal, but mostly because no one can grasp the concept of the comment “the AFL will consult with other operators of Australian professional team sports”, on stupidity alone, we’ll lodge a complaint against each poster in this thread!

:)

Gotta help lads like Ben Cousins.

-PB

Too late it seems. Beyond help.

http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/former-afl-player-ben-cousins-caught-on-cctv-trying-to-outrun-police-20150324-1m6411.html

Yeah, it seems he's dealing with a lot more than just a drug problem at the moment.

Didn't he break into the SAS base lol?

-PB

Can't believe that WaMackie hasn't dropped some pearls of wisdom following the AFL tribunal's decision on the Essendon doping allegations.

He was let on site, think about it.

:lol:

All jokes aside though, there's a nudist beach right near that SAS base, according to locals it's not unheard of for people to get lost on their way back from the beach and end up stumbling into SAS grounds. It sounds like he was pretty fucked up and just wandered in after heading to the beach.

No one’s raised the possibility that Cousins was let on the SAS site, as they were after the same ‘Goodes’ that Benny takes?

He’s on site at 11.15pm on a Saturday night, what else are the SAS boys doing at that time? PlayStation, pawn? Think about it.

No one has raised it because it is fucking ridiculous. The SAS were probably asleep because they are up at the crack of dawn.

Ha Ha you’re a farkstick mate, you really are a piece of useless material on planet earth ha ha ha

:lol: wamakie stop dropping pingas. Cousins was luckyextremely lucky that the sentries didnt shot him or see him . Fuck me I knew you like conspiracies but that just takes the cake

All the morons are popping in here today, good to see.

The fact he was committed to a mental health rehab clinic straight after this incident seems to suggest that there wasn't anything planned or deliberate about his actions.

crys about name calling . Calls everyone morons.

Cousins had been arrested 3 times in as many weeks, the WA coppers were most likely tailing him when he went onto the SAS site. Most of that 2005-06 team has been in crimnial trouble of late, from what I can read. An ex player almost died in Las Vegas a few years back, that WCE 2005-06 team is dodgy as.

How'd he sell them the gear then?

I was right, WA Police were tailing him

http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/ben-cousins-exeagle-assessed-at-mental-facility-after-sas-base-breach-20150316-144tts.html

The Nine Network reported on Sunday night that the ex-AFL star was apprehended at the Campbell Barracks in Swanbourne about 11pm on Saturday.

A Defence spokesperson said they were aware of an incident involving a member of the public and WA Police, which occurred at the entrance to Perth's Campbell Barracks on Saturday evening.



He hasn’t shown up for Court today either, he’s in strife

http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/ben-cousins-faces-arrest-after-noshow-in-perth-court-20150408-1mgd93.html

Ben Cousins has failed to appear in Fremantle Magistrates Court over charges relating to a driving incident last month and will be arrested if he can't prove he had a conflicting medical appointment

School holidays and no one is home to remind WaMackie to take his medication.

And nice selective quoting as well. Guess the facts don't support your conspiracy theory.

A Defence spokesperson said they were aware of an incident involving a member of the public and WA Police, which occurred at the entrance to Perth's Campbell Barracks on Saturday evening.

"No Defence personnel were involved in the incident," the spokesperson said.

Believing what the media say [-x [-x [-x =;

It's clear to see that WaMackie's conspiracy is true, there could simply be no other logical explanation then the SAS doin a dodgy.

I for one am glad to be one of the first (and very privileged) people to have been enlightened by his work in ensuring the truth gets out.

Non believers, consider this an official warning.

As biscuitboy, Melb_terrace and MVFCArsenal have previously been advised, if you don’t like my posts, then don’t respond to them, no one is pointing a gun to your head and saying “respond to WaMackie”.

I personally don’t give two flying f..ks if you respond to me or not. I don’t read your views, nor take them in as ‘insightful knowledge’, whether that’s on soccer or anything else.

Hope that helps you understand where I’m coming from.

Ha, told you there was more to it, on Cousins and the SAS

Oh knows. the afl/news corp read these forums . Wamakie we bow down to you

With regards to the Performance Enhancing Drugs, its a conspiracy by sports betting agencies to tell the anti-doping agency to not follow through with it

Personally, I couldnt care if they all took drugs, its not like this is an Olympic sport we're talking about

Although (!)... why are American athletes twice as fast as the others at the Olympics...

How do you know this?

And about f..king time too.

Told you Cousins SAS trip was drug related and that the possibility of the SAS letting him on site was real, more proof if anyone was in doubt

In the goldfish bowl of Perth’s sports and social scene, West Coast Eagles players and SAS “gunslingers” have long been known to train and socialise together — a cosy link that continues to the present, with prominent SAS officers reputedly campaigning to become West Coast office holders.

Insiders say when the befuddled Cousins broke into Campbell Barracks late on the Saturday night of March 14, he was looking for drugs. That would be because he had most likely been an unofficial guest at the barracks back when he was still a football star, before he became a total liability.

One source says: “Cousins’ relationship with the SAS is long gone — but that wouldn’t stop him going back.”

Reports at the time suggested the still-athletic Cousins, 36, had scaled two fences, but insiders say there is — or was until last month — a “hole” in the perimeter known to troopers and a few people they smuggle in, a practice rumoured to go back to the Vietnam War era.
