“later had a blood test which revealed that he had no illicit or performance-enhancing substances in his body.”
Willie Rioli facing four-year ban by ASADA over sample tampering
Sources familiar with the matter confirmed that follow-up tests were conducted by ASADA to establish whether Rioli had performance-enhancing drugs in his system. Those tests found no evidence of a prohibited substance.

However it may have been his third strike and that could be why he panicked….
Technically, out of competition testing is a voluntary agreement by the players, so they could walk away from it at any time.

I’m not saying that he should be exonerated. I am saying that a 4 year suspension is extremely disproportionate with the crime. I would throw the book at him if this was an “in competition” test.

The rules are ridiculous and inconsistent.
1. Rioli didn’t take PEDs.
2. Even if Rioli did test positive he would have been free to play.
3. Actual drug cheats get second and third chances.
4. Rioli is suspended without being found guilty.
How does any of this make sense?

Angry West Coast by 45 points.
I have read:
“When ASADA test for an illicit substance and you glow, you test positive. There’s not even a strike, it’s a slap on the wrist (if not on game day).
“This wasn’t game day. It was a Tuesday after the West Coast Eagles played Richmond at the MCG. He’s gone from in a state of panic, we think, from no ban whatsoever to a potential four-year ban.”
Surely the punishment doesn’t fit the crime if there is one!?

I heard on the grapevine he was hiding weed but I have no proof whatsoever.

The last time Richmond faced Nic Nat they lost by 47 points…
From flag favourite to dark horse: can West Coast still go back-to-back?
Only lost by a goal last time without Nic Nat. That’s the big X-Factor. Also Schofield is back, he makes a big difference by freeing up McGovern and Barrass.
The Eagles can tear any team apart in a matter of minutes with NN in the side.
Straight-sets exits await Geelong and Brisbane
IF Nic Nat, Darling, Kennedy & McGovern stay healthy West Coast won’t lose another game this season.

That is correct but I believe that was only a short term reduction. Oddly suicide rates in the U.S., at 14.0 per 100,000 in 2017, increased by a third since 1999, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention – note that this figure includes all groups.

“It’s said that suicides are higher because society isn’t welcoming,” he added.
“To debunk this lie, go and look at data from Belgium and Scandinavia. The incidence of suicide in these countries, which are gay-friendly, remains very high because beneath all of this is identity discomfort,” – Massimo Gandolfini, director of neuroscience and head of neurosurgery at the Poliambulanza Foundation in Brescia

That isn’t true.
Being homosexual is NOT a sin. Acting on those desires, according to the Bible, is a sin. I’m not saying that makes it any easier, just clarifying what Christians actually believe.

Sorry but your statement is nonsense.

So basically QANTAS is happy to take the money from a country that promotes active intolerance but the ARU is not allowed to employ Folau who says certain actions are wrong.
By the way which of us hasn’t lied at some point? Or are we in the business of selective outrage?

I wonder what QANTAS thinks about this?

I bet they don’t dissolve their partnerships with countries that enforce Islamic Laws.

I’m sitting on 79 tips in Footytips.com.au
Port – At home.
Swans – Far too good for Hawks.
Dockers – At home but upset wouldn’t surprise.
Saints – Injury woes don’t fill me with confidence.
Giants – self explanatory.
Eagles – close but the Eagles are usually too good at home and have too many gun forwards.
Demons – Pies will lift but not enough.
