Failed drug tests in AFL down

Failed drug tests down
By Adam McNicol
Wed 22 Jun, 2011

ONLY six positive tests were recorded during out of competition testing for illicit drug use in 2010.

This continues the downward trend in the rate of failed tests.

In 2009, there were 14 positive tests to illicit drugs, which represented 0.89 per cent of the 1568 tests carried out.

When a record 1654 tests were undertaken in 2010, the failure rate fell to 0.36 per cent.

This contrasts with 2005 when 472 tests were carried out and 19 players tested positive.

Dane Swan also tweeted this morning that they wouldn't catch him in a drug test, because he is too clever.  ::)

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

“Stop sending out drug testers at 6am. Its starting to pee me off. What's wrong with the afternoon? You can't catch me anyway. Too clever,” Swan tweeted.

Thats just about the dumbest thing I've ever read.

He'll be in strife for that.

Swan is turning into a douche with these unfunny smart arse comments. Didn't he put something about drug testers on his twitter while he was in America as well.

He's a Collingskata player he'll say what he wants and get away with it. Eddie will see to that. :-\
