Sooky Boy Scotty's Handbaggers in the prelim it is then... :shh

Apparently tried to swap his urine sample.
No positive test yet.
Still can be a 4 year ban! That might be his career eek

Yeah I stuffed up the thread title- edited... :shh

What an idiot!
-
Settle down mate it was just a typo... :shh
-
I refuse to sit back and watch the 2IC get abused like this.....:shh :shh
-
Damn he was a good player to watch. I wonder what he was taking? Roids or something recreational.
-
Willie & the Pee Takers ... good name for a band! ;D
-
So seems like 3 things are possible:
1. He’s on PEDs
2. He had taken some type of recreational drug and was already on 2 strikes.
3. He had taken some type of recreational drug and had no idea what the rules were and panicked. As in it’s not considered performance enhancing on non match days and only would have received a strike from the afl without any ban, don’t even think the club are informed.
Really interested to hear the full details. 4 year ban would be brutal.

Going by what recent ex-players have all said on Fox Footy, it'd be nigh on impossible for a player to switch or tamper with a urine sample themselves... :shh

Isn't someone with them in the toilet??
If so that's correct. Otherwise the system is laughable

Yeah going by what the ex players have been saying I thought potentially ASADA messed up.
But from the eagles GM’s presser yesterday I get the impression that Willie is the culprit here.

Former ASADA boss Richard Ings has answered some questions on SEN this morning:
How does this happen?
Well it happens because you have a very observant control officer who is facilitating the test. The doping control officer is there to witness the sample being provided. If there is any abnormalities, if there’s any indication of any adulteration of the sample then the doping control officer will report it, it will be investigated and charges potentially laid.
So Willie Rioli has attempted to make the substitution while being observed by the officers?
We don’t have all the details but what we do know is that ASADA is alleging that there was a substitution or a substitution attempt at the point of collection that was clearly picked up by the doping control officer. It has been investigated, the sample has been tested for something which isn’t urine and the process is proceeding accordingly.
What would have happened when they observed something was off in the test?
The doping control officer won’t go to an athlete who is substitution urine and go ‘no, no, no mate you can’t do that, you’ve got to give us the right stuff’. The attempt to substitute is a violation in itself so the doping control officer will simply collect the sample, report the incident and leave it for the authorities at ASADA to investigate.
-----------------------------------------
Jimmy Bartel has been left gobsmacked by the Rioli news. Speaking on Macquarie Sports Radio this morning he said:
“I don’t even know why he even attempted it, it’s the most invasive thing you’ll do,” he said.
“It's pants around your ankles and if you’ve got a T-shirt on, you’ve got to tuck it under your chin or take it off.
“You are nude and they’re looking at you front on taking a urine test.
“To think you can get away with it is stupid because as soon as you would have done that, the tester would’ve said ‘what have you done’.
“He hasn’t tested positive, he’s been found trying to alter the test.
“We’ve got to deal with the facts, he’s been done for trying to dodge a test.”

Second Eagles bombshell: Willie Rioli tests positive for cannabis

FOX SPORTS
Willie Rioli’s AFL career has been thrown into further turmoil after he and West Coast were hit with a second blow relating to an anti-doping code violation.
The AFL released a statement on Tuesday revealing Rioli had tested positive for a metabolite of cannabis after the Eagles’ elimination final win over Essendon earlier this month. It was a second test for Rioli, who was likely targeted by ASADA following allegations he had previously tampered with a urine sample, the Herald Sun reports.
