AFL Drugs Controversy

Drug Scandal

Links : AFL | AFL News

THE AFL illicit drugs policy was in crisis last night as confidential medical records identifying two players who had tested positive to illegal drugs were sold to a commercial television station.

The documents contain explosive claims against two players from the same club and became the subject of a legal injunction last night, taken out by the doctor who is treating the two men.

The documents also contain claims that other players at the club regularly use drugs.

The legal action came too late to stop Channel Seven airing the allegations as part of its news bulletin. The report did not identify the players but did disclose their club, as well as details about the frequency and nature of their drug use.

The club was scrambling last night to try to learn the names of the players from the AFL, damaged by the public leak of information that senior club officials were not entitled to be told.

Under the AFL's controversial three-strikes illicit drug policy, clubs cannot be told of a player's drug use until he has returned a third positive test. That system — attacked by the Federal Government as too lenient in recent months — was in crisis last night.

The documents, which were paid for by Channel Seven, appear to be medical records of two players, referred to Ivanhoe's Victorian Addiction Centre by the clubs.

Under the three-strikes policy, after the second positive test, a club doctor is told.

Conclusion :

Leave the players and their private lives alone, we have no rights to their private lives and what they do in their spare time is up to them, as long as they're not taking performance enhancing drugs it shouldn't be a matter of public debate or released to the public.

If they were a musician it would be acceptable and laughed upon like Britney, Nicole Richie etc.

What about the injections during games, the pain killer shots ? aren't these a enhancing drug ? what about Brisbane's reign of premierships typically the Grandfinals against Collingwood where numerous players felt the force of many hard hits only to get injections so they would no longer feel the pain and or impact of the hard hitting game, these should be ruled out shouldn't they ? after all they are performance enhancing in effect. Compared to party drugs that don't produce in game brilliance but actually the opposite effect.

Coaches Said :

Denis Pagan Said : "The last three weeks we've been terrible at the start, (but) we get together and they're able to take a step back and see the issues that are causing them concern and then we go," he said."It's still very disappointing - our start to the game - and you know the side that's in front at quarter-time has probably got a 75 per cent chance of winning."

Mark Wiliams said : "They played particularly well. It was great coming back, and coming back to Telstra after last week's win. It was nice to think that the young players I thought played particularly well and got some good opportunities.""Quite a few of the senior players led the way and gave them some nice touches."I thought Surjan played well again, Salopek played well, Chaplin did a good job, Symes. He was under an injury cloud until really today and I thought it was good for them."

Carlton FC let another Game slip - AFL Blog 2006

The Blues squandered a chance to turn their fortunes around in going down to Richmond by eight points in an error-riddled round five match at the MCG on Friday night.

After a bright start to the season, Carlton has now lost four-in-a-row and this was another tight contest, but the fans, the coaching staff and the players will be desperately hoping the team can rebound against Collingwood next week.

The Blues started well in a free-flowing opening quarter for a 19-point advantage at the first change, however the Tigers controlled the game from thereon, finding the lead in the third quarter despite some inaccuracy in front of goal before holding off a late Carlton challenge for a 12.20 (92) to 11.18 (84) victory.

For the Blues, Ryan Houlihan and skipper Anthony Koutoufides worked tirelessly to find the ball 29 times each, while Heath Scotland and Andrew Walker were creative from defence with 27 and 25 possessions respectively.

Matthew Richardson, despite being guilty of poor kicking with 3.5, was handy for the Tigers, plucking 12 marks. He complemented the work further up the field by Joel Bowden, who set up numerous attacks from defence with his 25 possessions, and Andrew Raines with 23.

Number one draft pick Marc Murphy then produced a superb running goal from just inside 50 before Koutoufides crumbed and goaled, giving the Blues an 11-point advantage.An errant disposal by Tivendale squandered a certain Tigers goal and the Blues made them pay deep in time on through Deluca for a 19-point break at quarter time.

Goals to Chris Hyde and Richardson narrowed the gap to three points in the second term, which the wasteful Tigers dominated, but a classy finish by Walker from just inside the boundary line steadied the Blues.

Andrew Krakouer and Kayne Pettifer stopped the Richmond rot with clever snaps either side of a pair of Waite goals before Troy Simmonds ended the quarter appropriately by kicking his team's ninth behind of the term.

Goals to Andrew Krakouer and Tivendale doubled the heartbreak for the Blues and the Tigers were out to a 14-point advantage at the final change.

Under no pressure in the final term, Richard Tambling failed to find his target and from the resultant turnover Walker was able to carry the ball up the other end, where Waite snapped truly, but Pettifer replied two minutes later.

A late goal by Eddie Betts gave the Blues hope of stealing an unlikely win but the Tigers managed to hold on for their second victory of the year.

RICHMOND: 2.3, 7.12, 11.15, 12.20 (92)
CARLTON: 5.4, 8.7, 9.13, 11.18 (84)

Carlton GOALS – Waite 3, Fevola 2, Whitnall, Koutoufides, Murphy, Walker, Deluca, Betts
Carlton BEST – Walker, Scotland, Koutoufides, Simpson, Whitnall, Murphy, Houlihan
