IRB preparing to over-rule cheating Convicts [message #1025714] Wed, 17 May 2006 09:36
oob  
Australian cheating and ARU cover-ups has finally forced international
intervention. This is a great first step towards the goal of cleaning up
the Australian game;

"The International Rugby Board is poised to appeal against any decision in
the Wendell Sailor drug case that shows leniency towards the Waratahs
winger.

Under the World Anti-Doping Agency code, Sailor, 31, faces a mandatory
two-year ban for testing positive to the banned stimulant cocaine.

Last night IRB spokesman Greg Thomas said the board would review any
sentence handed down to Sailor from a disciplinary hearing.

"If the WADA sanctions are not applied, then we will revisit the hearing
and appeal the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport," Thomas
said."

Translation: "The international rugby community is sick and tired with you
cheating Convicts handing down lenient sentences to your cheating players.
This scumbag is getting banned from the game whether you like it or not."

Put it this way, if there was no cocaine, there'd be no porn.

Either he tested positive or he didn't.

If he did => 2 years minimum. No discretion

Whilst i don't feel as strongly as oob on this one my mind does wander
back to the Ben Tune case (ir was Ben?) where it was kept under wraps.
He was kept away from rugby until his sample was clean

That wasn't the substance (ahem) of my question. I was asking if it is
a performance enhancing drug. I've never taken it, so I have no idea
what Simon is alluding to. Anyway, when you've reached perfection...

No, I was just wondering WHY it is on the banned list. Are they scared
players are going to go around shagging the pants off every bit of
totty that wanders into the ground? Errr...

Drugs are not banned because they are "performance enhancing", they are
banned because they are harmful to one's health.

See thread: Bye Bye Sailor.

Short answer is that because people felt less tired when they chewed
cocoa leaves, although there's a mountain of medical research suggesting
it impairs performance, it's banned.

No, that's the reason they are legally controlled. Banning is
different. There are lots of things that harfmul to your health -
smoking and drinking to name two - but they aren't banned.

Its banned because its an addictive personality changing drug. Not that
most people actually get any : its usually talcum powder, domestos
crystals and aspirin at about 50 quid a gramme. If you want to see some
nasty pictures google up something like "east enders cocaine shame" -
have a look at Daniella Westbrook's nose.

Oh, and get Layer Cake out on DVD.

That Daniel Craig will be a kick ass Bond.

Cocaine is banned in rugby. Legally controlled ? Huh ?

'Course there are lots of stuff that is horrible for our health that aint
banned - alcohol is obvious. The double standard doesn't change the fact
that drugs are banned because they are dangerous.

Yeah, it's legally controlled. In certain circumstances it's perfectly
permissable to have said substance in your bloodstream. Ergo, it's
legally controlled. Control implies that there degrees of allowance,
for example, in the UK you aren't allowed to smoke tobacco until you
are sixteen. It is controlled. Banning means that no-one is allowed to
use it. Cocaine is banned in some sports (possibly all, but I don't
know), which means there is no excuse for knowingly metabolising the
chemical.

If there is evidence that cocaine aids performance, then it falls
within the remit of the game's law-makers. If it isn't, then I cannot
see any way they have the legal jurisdiction to rule on it.

No they're not. They're banned in sports because they're performance
enhancing.

They're illegal because they're supposedly dangerous and apparently
people can't be trusted with what they put in their bodies.

Clearly if you smoked you wouldn't be able to compete anyway, and I
think you'll find that if you turn up for a match under the influence of
booze, you're unlikely to get a start....

No. Water is performance enhancing. You will underperform without using it
before and during sport.

They are banned because they are considered *dangerous*.

It's performance enhancing for about 30 minutes. In fact coke is the
crappest drug ever imo. The only drug where actually preparing it
(chopping it up) is more fun, and lasts longer, than the actual high.
If you want to experiment, but don't want to part with 50 quid, you'll
get the same feeling if you get a group of mates together, drink 10
redbulls, pop several sudafeds, then all talk the most complete
bollocks ever. Loudly and over the top of one another. The instant the
redbulls are gone, scratch your nose and scarper. You might feel like a
shag, but bear in mind you'll be keen as mustard at first, then 20
minutes in you'll suddenly feel like shopping is a better idea and
you'll nip out for some more redbull.

Sounds like you'd be better off washing your socks with it. You need a
new dealer 'bro. Do you know any Aussie players?

Water is not a performance enhancing drug. No more so than air.
There's a reason they call it a 'drug test'.

Leaving aside the fact it's not a drug, sports organizations such as the
International Olympic Committee define performance-enhancing substances
as those that create an unfair competitive advantage.

Drinking water does not create an unfair competitive advantage.

It could be. It might lead Wendy to the delusion that he can catch a
high ball, or kick a long touch finder, or make a clever lateral tackle.

It might just be enough for him to actually do it. That would be
performance enhancing.

Just did.

I don't think you made a very good case. The NIH says it decreases
fatigue, you say it gives people the impression that they aren't
fatigued.

That's simply not the case. There's plenty of medical evidence to show
it decreases fatigue and loads of anecdotal stuff. You ever been to
Bolivia? Loads of people DO chew the leaves and walk up amazingly steep
inclines, carrying large loads for long periods of time in thin air. It
isn't all in their head, they genuinely DO keep going.

Leaves are also less harmful than refined powder.

As many people have pointed out, prolonged use would certainly have a
detrimental affect on the body of a sportsman. But the odd line before
the odd game would certainly have an initial +ve effect.

I doubt that anyone has done studies into sportsmen and their
performance on the field after taking coke, but I'd doubt the +ve
effects would last all game.

Perhaps sub them at half time?

Huggies great that this topic has bought you back to RSRU after such a long
absence. I am surprised that you haven't posted anything about your team
since the beginning of the SH season because as you say you love rugby and
go out to all the Tahs S14 ( even though you don't support them) games no
matter who is playing, you do follow a team don't you Huggies? you don't
just come here as an anti Australian troll do you?

You're a nutcase.

Why not address my comments about cocaine, rather than accusing me of
being an anti Australian troll because I don't support what Sailor did?

I never said I went to all the Tahs S14 games, I said I go to some of
them; which I did again this year. Allegedly if I went to one of the
bars and mentioned your name, you'd be there and would buy me a beer. I
didn't see you this year (FYI, I went to 2 games), yet again.
Supposedly you'd be the one drinking with the ex-Wallaby skipper.

No, I don't support the Tahs, but they are my local team, so I go along
when I have the time/think it should be a good game.

I've mentioned this to you on several occasions, but you seem unable to
comprehend that
a) I don't go to all the games, therefore whenever you're there, I
should be there too, otherwise I must be lying
and
b) I must be an anti-Australian troll for going to Tahs games when I
don't support them.
FYI, I went to several RWC games where I suported neither side. It just
so happened that I could get tickets/thought it would be a good game.
Do you only watch games where 'your' team is playing?

I said that I no longer wanted to get involved with you because you are
a liar and a hypocrite and our exchanges simply end up as pointless OT
slanging matches.
Geoff Muldoon has pointed this out to you too.

So, no, I never made a promise never to reply to you, I simply said it
was a waste of time.
I still believe it is, you've made the post OT, started lying again and
now you simply want to exchange insults.

You are the weakest link.

Actually I posted debunking your assertion that Huggsie is purely an anti-
Australian troll and accusing you (correctly it appears) of being no more

I know that Huggies can discuss sport :-) pity he doesn't do it more often
:-( Than he could join me in discussing the games I love cricket and
rugby, as i do on the appropriate ngs. We could even discuss the teams we
follow ( Huggies could surprise the world by disclosing which team he
follows ) and when ( if ) he comes to the S14 he could have a beer with me

Huggies I think that I have shown you up to be such a deliberate
misinterpreting and misrepresenting anti Australian trolling liar again that
you should admit defeat pack up your bat and ball, hold your breath, crack a
tizzy and not post to me again. Oh that right you did that before but
couldn't help making an anti Aus post when the Sailor matter came up even
though you hadn't posted to the rugby nag fo 5 months
