"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.

Too late it seems. Beyond help.

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.
