Forking Chinese play racist whinge card whenever it suits; meanwhile they deride any non Asian government who refuses to lick their boots

In a way (getting back to the OP) the CAS decision that the athlete does not get to judge the validity of the sample also means that at the time Mack Horton did the wrong thing by staging his protest at his interpretation of the events (where FINA had supported the sample being invalid)...

For me it isn’t necessarily the individual but the culture of the organisation- ie FINA culture vs WADA culture. So directives from higher than the lawyer influences the arguments.

I’m not sure FINA is trustworthy though. However another poster did confirm that the CAS found only minor issues with the testing process and nothing that would justify sun destroying samples. It was a question not a statement of fact

Did WADA say there were issues with the process or was this a fabrication by Sun’s team

Wu does mention that none of these athletes had failed and served a secret penalty. This appears to be a large issue for Mack (animosity was present during rio olympics before the blood smash incident- which is also a magnitude greater than not being locatable). The equivalent (for not...

Oops.

I think both got reprimanded (the Brit and sun yang)

Couldn’t find a thread on this and there doesn’t appear to be a swimming board or thread. Matt refused to share podium with the suspected drug cheat who had previously tested positive to a stimulant but served penalty in secret then allegedly smashed a vial of blood when tested. I think that...

I doubt anything else happens to Essendon now. Its all consequences for AFL administration... excellent.

Danks evidence is on cassies phone he wanted to write it after a session with cassie but grabbed the wrong phone. Due to her privacy being invaded cassie changed her password which is why she can't remember it now.

My point is more I don't think dank has anything to pay the lawyers with.

Which lawyer is silly enough to represent him? Would want cash or goods up front

True, but the person who wants to get "munted " or otherwise recreational use would not then get admitted elsewhere.

It wouldn't be water that they'd be getting either...

In private land (which is where Mr Hird went - cabrini) yes it would be fairly standard for suicide attempt via overdose to get transferred to mental health facility IF they wanted help (private insurance funded mental health is voluntary only) In public land we make a risk assessment as to how...

Except if its a child that picks up and swallows the 2 temazepam..

They should visit the SRP board, plenty of outlets there to get angry...

However if they are disruptive they can be charged for public nuisance or intoxication. Generally though police just take them to hospital for medical containment and not bother with consequences.

Suspect he has but gets amusement from provoking the foamer side.

Lawyers horrified that the cash cow coming to an end methinks

The regimens described are bog standard asthma regimens (for the swimmers), and the epipen is standard for anaphylaxis - assume there would be a record kept of how many re order scripts were used? (and would only have a benefit if given just before competition, out of system in a few hours). The...

Prednisone is not a stimulant. Gives a small buzz (high doses send patients psychotic) but has no anabolic effects. It is anti inflammatory and immunosuppresant. As well as altering body shape to central adiposity (spare tyre) and weakness of proximal muscle groups.

Asthmatics do get encouraged to swim to build up respiratory reserve. Some may find they have a talent And I don't know that only 5 - 10% of population use salbutamol inhalers when you add in those that have it just for viral exacerbations etc Ritalin TUE is a bit murkier...

Did something happen?

Balme wants to keep his job rather than be replaced by Gubby?

Speculation If texts from Whitfield were sent while illicit substance affected, could the diminish his responsibility and intent? As in less responsibility for a text to evade tests when no one looking to test him? And if welfare officers received a text and recognised incoherence or other...

Unless worried about possible illicit drug use and where that could lead, she thought drastic action needed?

Wonder if the same rigor is applied re continuous sample chain (ie to ensure no tampering) between the illicit test and the PED test.

Come on. No one trusts an afl investigation. That's why wada came over the top over the afl tribunal in the case of Essendon.
