i'm concerned about the repercussions this will have for everytime i jokingly say "the fix is in" and reference asian betting syndicates.
clearly there are no performance enhancing drugs being used in the a-league, have you ever sat through a ****ing game? jeez.
^ lol. indeed.
I'm not particularly concerned about Essendon, I think it's a storm in a teacup and an investigation will clear the players. It does open up a window for the average joe to see what sports science gets up to behind closed doors though - injecting vitamins etc to aid recovery. Not sure if it was mentioned this morning but Matt Orford (NRL) was injected with blood from a baby cow to assist recovery from a groin injury a few years ago. some weird shit goes on behind closed doors.
Going by the selections at the Jets of late maybe GVE is wrapped up with the Asian crime mob and match fixing
Didn't Hleb or some Arsenal player have cow placenta inserted into a muscle tear a few years back as well?
Crazy stuff.
Horse placenta is used a lot.
The wrap injured ankles in it.
Teh Dutch are into in a big way.
Van Persie fixed his ankle a few years back using it.
While at PSV Van Nistlerooy is reported to have wrapped his face in it while sleeping. No side effects at all apparently.
ch10 news mentioned that Knights were among a bunch of clubs being investigated internally by the NRL
David Gallop was briefly shown saying that "football wasnt mentioned in these reports but we stand behind the measures that need to be taken"

What's the big deal? I don't know the effects of these drugs all that well, do they effect the players bodies badly?
Biggest drama for OUR game will be if the rumoured drug issues surrounding Barcelona prove true.
What would happen to all the titles they have won and Spain's success on international front???
Would really pale into insignificance Lance Armstrongs TDF issues
