If they failed a 3rd test is that the 3rd strike?

Yes

Aren't they meant to be known to the public? Or am I completely forgetting someone?

Yes once a 3rd strike is recorded the player is supposed to be named

What are you talking about?

No one recorded a 3rd strike in 2012 so there is no one to name

Only recorded 3rd strike and it goes back to 2010 and that player was named and suspended so I am not sure what you talking about

I'm no young'en myself  ;D closer to 50 than 30  ;D

Huge problem in society drugs. I think the drugs issue is alot worse in the AFL than what they realise. 2000 tests may seem like alot but in the overall scheme of things it isn't that great a number. Would love to know how many players haven't been tested in the last 3 years

Have to staggers me that folks call them everything from social, to recreational, to party drugs. Last time I checked they were illegal

As a 27 year old I guess that would put me right in the prime bracket. Andy Dimwit went on about things like drug education, if it's mental or whatever. I can tell you that every single person I know that takes/has taken whatever illegal drug are well aware of what they are doing. They know it's illegal, they know it can be harmful, they are aware there could be repercussions, but they don't care. They just want to party. These AFL players aren't stupid, they know what they're doing.
