But weren't you the one who defended ASADA the other day WP
I said they were pathetic from day one and this proves my point
Yes Daniel I did defend them, certainly haven't defended them after last nights debacle that was reported on AFL 360
But re-read my last post daniel I said that I respect the opinions of Richard Ings the
former not current but
the former head of ASADA. He was there when they didn't make such apparent stuff ups
I also think his opinions on where the case stands after last night's AFL360 story carry far more weight than Gerard Whately's opinion as he knows the hows and whys regarding what WADA can and cannot do. Whateley reported something and then gave his opinion as to where he believes things stand and go from here.
People may have missed it because Robbo was thumping tables and raving like a lunatic who hadn't had his meds
As for Tim Watson, I am perplexed by the following statements:
First up he said this:
"Of all the substances that are known in this ASADA report, they gave a detailed outline as to what they were and the effects of those if there were any and those fears have been allayed."
Then he said:
He also said there were no substances that were still unknown "as to what they may or may not have been, or whether they were administered".
"Of all the information available to the club via the ASADA investigation, all those supplements have been cleared in terms of harmful effects on players," Tim Watson said.
How can you be given details of what the effects of supposedly "unknown" substances in the report are if they are "unknown"
So I ask which is it Tim? Are there still "unknown" substances or are they all "known" can't be both
Unless of course you are the Donald Rumsfeld of the EFC & AFL
And IMO despite the on going debate about bloody AOD whatever it is called it still doesn't excuse the irresposible behaviour of the EFC and what they did to their players in using them as guinea pigs in program that was poorly planned and executed.
If Tim Watson the parent thinks what the EFC has done is OK then that's Tim's choice. Based on what heard this morning on SEN the only folks Tim seems to be angry with now is the AFL & ASADA. Yep he should be angry at them I would be too
But if I was a parent of one those players I'd still be as equally roperable towards the Club for what has happened because it is the club that implemented this program, not the AFL, not ASADA, not Caro, not Patrick Smith it was the EFC and they must be held to account.
