They are not performance-enhancing drugs but they're banned on the basis that if you're trying to mask pain to play sport the WADA rules have said that it's not healthy to mask pain of that severity.

What a joke.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Crowley's copped a 12 month ban for breaking the AFL Anti-doping code

It's back dated from September last year

He cannot train with the Dockers until late July

Full details can be found on all the news sites - take your pick  :snidegrin

Very lenient when compared to Travis Casserley and Saad.

Yep.
Crowly went and got his own painkillers not through the club which is a no no in itself and gets a year
Saad has an energy drink before a game which a lot of players do and gets two years

Both were silly but a year seems appropriate for both. Saad was unlucky and got two

Big difference though with the type of substances taken

Saad & Casserley were banned for taking "performance enhancing" substances

Crowley's substance is a banned specific substance (reported as methdone) and isn't classed as performance enhancing, hence why he only got 12 months

Not saying I agree with it but that's reason

I reckon Crowley got off lightly

Should have got an extra 6 months for blatant stupidity

if stupidity was such a crime then there would be more people inside prison than out.....
