A lot of talk that ASADA will announce bans on players shortly. Also mention of lifetime bans  :o

yep...could always see this happening once the AFL said that the investigation was still ongoing. WADA were never going to let this one lie. A soccer player in England once got an 8 month ban for missing a drugs test....It's hard to see how players who don't know what the hell they got injected into them can escape sanction..especially as they are ultimately liable

I didn't realise it was still ongoing! :o

I've got my fingers crossed they don't get hit too hard, would be a shame to see some of the young guys have their careers ruined. :-[

Have been trading bombers from teams just for this reason......

Look out anyone who has Watson  :o

Exterminate?

First time life time bans have been mentioned.  usually 2 years pulls it up.  Either way can see a big on going court challenge to any penalty with lawyers being the only winners.

The lifetime bans won't be for the players.

that makes far more sense. Banning players would be fair... giving them a life ban though would be harsh.

Would say Hird is in big trouble.
