Any Essendon supporters out there? I have been listening to the allegations against Essendon AFL players in regards to allegedly taking growth hormones and possibly performance enhancing drugs???

Coming so soon after the Lance Armstrong revelations - it is a sad day, IF it is true?

Is there any sport that is 'clean'?? sigh

No I don’t think there is a clean sport anymore?

Our footballers now are required to run all four quarters off the game? It used to be the team that conserved its energy ran all over its opposition in the last quarter, Aussie rules is going to end up like soccer? With match fixing and corruption! Until we stop the betting!

The betting is corrupting all sports! Where they change the natural results into the best returns?

that’s why I don’t bet! Other than putting the occasional lotto ticket in,

You have hit the nail on the head Blizzard, (see my next thread on this - Aussie sport n Drugs). Sport, betting, big stakes = corruption. Which sadly is looking like exactly what we have now in some Australian Sports. It is not just about the drugs/growth hormones etc. there are established links between organised crime and athletes, sports medical staff etc.

The writing is on the wall for some people, they will be getting a knock on the door and an invitation to explain ?????? dunno confused

Its not only now, its been going on for years..... A young nephew of mine was an up and coming champ, always best and fairest, started training with the Bombers, was introduced and told to start taking steroids, he flatly refused. He was not allowed to train anymore unless he changed his mind, never got a game and was not allowed to approach any other club. And that all took place 30 yrs ago.....
