TOPIC:

Personally I think the entire AFL drug policy is a fisaco, I think the delay in dealing with Essendon has been farcical, and I hope they feel the full brunt of the the laws.

I cant seem to get a handle on what's the truth.

Seems a lot of hysteria and innuendo at the moment.

can one of you learned gents please set me straight.

TF under WADA ADO-9604 is banned, the AFL are signed to this code through ASADA, Watson has admitted injecting this Ped up to 40 times, tbh I can't see any innuendo at all, WADA has come out and said its banned quite a few times lately, the silence from the AFL is deafening.

Ok thanks
I was told today it was not on the banned list at the time of the use.

farked if I know.

I do know the AFL has buried there head in the sand though. This is a biggy.

I hope Essendon don't win the flag wont that be messy.

This is a no brainer but I will try and simplify the argument -

Did JW take a banned drug? - Yes he has admitted that.

Does it matter he and Essendon signed a consent form? - No WADA don't care whether you knew or not. If its in your body your guilty. Just ask Shane Warne and his year suspension from cricket for taking diet pills from his mum!

Should he be playing now - No bloody way. How can he is he has admitted he using a performance enhancer. As a minimum he should be stood down until he is cleared or found guilty.

Should he have his Brownlow taken away - Not until the findings of the investigation are complete. If he is found guilty....of course it should.

THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN HANDLED TERRIBLY BY ALL INVOLVED AND THIS HAS COMPLETLY TARNISHED THE AFL BRAND!

Was it right for the WC supporters to boo him at the game - OOhhhh pleasseee what sort of soft c&^k game is this becoming?? You should here me at the demons every bloody week in the WAFL! I even boo the little league at half time!!! No wonder the rules for contact are so bloody absurd now........even the supporters are getting politically correct!

finally a decent article ... Bombers to blame for crowd boo's

au.sports.yahoo.com/afl/news/article/-/1...blame-for-jobe-boos/

Well done Viper that article shows it for exactly what it was! It actually justifies the crowd reaction just just towards Watson but as a message to this whole saga. Probably the biggest hypocrite in this whole debacle has been James Hird! He has been apart of everything this supplement program at Essendon stands for and he needs to go!

I can't believe some of these posts - FFS the guy is a self confessed drug cheat and simply should not be playing. He broke down and cried over it? God help me - maybe he should be playing soccer or the like. And who's to blame for last night - Esserden club and Vlad for not having the guts to do what any other pro sport in the world would do. As others have said, one of the AFL's cash cows will not be touched. As for the booing - wouldn't do myself, but I agree with others - harden the FUp. Although I suppose this gives you another avenue to have a whinge about the WCE and their supporters.....again So predictable boys!

It is most probably why Essendon won the game as the players would of been lifted by the WCE fans bullshit.. Gee Look at the scoreboard.
With WCE drug culture and history it is strange they didnt BOO their own players who used performancing drugs? Nah they are the soft cocks.
End of story.
