I suspect the hardest thing fitness freak Mr Crouch has ever sampled is a 2 year old Mr Whippy cone that spent too long at the bottom of the ice chest.Originally posted by Sanecow

If you'd actually read the article, it's the leak of information he's come out against, rather than the testing itself. And rightly so the leak should be slammed - those players have every right to privacy on those test results, and some moron trying to big-note themself by leaking it does nothing to assure those taking the test that their privacy, regardless of the result, will be protected. Every player has to be tested at some point, and every player should know they are peeing into that cup with the assurance that their name, is not going to be turned to mud before there has been a chance to confirm the results and deal with it internally. With the Government forcing the AFL's hand on drug codes and testing with the WADA code debate last year, the least ASDA should be doing is ensuring that their own codes of conduct are adhered to by all who are involved in the drug testing, which clearly hasn't happened in this case.Comment

"In the back of my mind I'm going to be (thinking) `Is this all fair dinkum?'," Crouch said.
"I guess that's the big thing, that if it has come from there that someone has leaked something, (then) what's stopping other people from doing other things just to disrespect us, just to embarrass us."Our Greatest Moment:

Your implication was that Crouch was speaking out against the drug testing itself, with the assumption that he'd never taken any substances so had no real basis to comment. Given that the article did not state that Crouch was saying the testing itself was inappropriate, but rather the way in which the information gained from it was being handled was inappropriate, you actually implied with your own comment that you didn't read the article.Originally posted by Legs Akimbo

He covers a number of topics in the article, one of which is a reluctance to be tested for drugs. If he has not taken drugs, then they cannot leak his positive results...
"In a shock leak from AFL headquarters, it has been revealed that Jared Crouch as tested negative three times for recreational drugs..." Yeah rightHe had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.Comment

I too found it odd he comment. Then the conspiracy theorist inside me started and perhaps he being as squeaky clean as he is protests on behalf of someone else who may not be so?Here's my heart and you can break it

Surely you mean plugged? I mean if you slam a leak it frequently gets worse . . . . . sorry just channelling Bernard WoolleyOriginally posted by swansrock4eva
the leak should be slammedComment

The only reasons I can see that he has said what he did is because one of the three unnamed player is a Swans player, or a Swans player is worried he will be caught (not necessarily Crouch), or he's having a Christian righteous moment.
It's the sort of thing I would have expected Peter Bell to do as the AFLPA rep.Captain Logic is not steering this tugboat.

is it not possible he is speaking out on principle? why is self-interest (including defence of a friend) necessary here for some to understand his motivations?then again, i think it would be worth trying 15-16 players on field so what would i knowComment

Crouch is clearly motivated by greed, a desire for fame, self protection, or because his drug distribution network is under threat by the AFL's drug testing code.
How dare Crouch have any sort of opinion, he is paid to play football and I think that is what he should stick to.
He should leave opinions to more informed peope such as myself, Legs Akimbo.He had observed that people who did lie were, on the whole, more resourceful and ambitious and successful than people who did not lie.Comment

Just say no: Crouch"You talk about the bigger issues in the community, that people just disrespect each other, and you could say this is a small issue but it would be nice if people did respect us. It is @@@@house."He must be really angry about it..."Don't get me wrong (taking drugs is) @@@@house in itself"My Pokemon brings all the boys to the yard and they're like "Wanna trade cards?"

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

9) Prohibited
Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted. However, due to costs associated with uploads/downloads, if you wish to attach a number of files within a thread, or feel that the quality of the attachment is compromised by the file size restrictions, you may wish to use external hosting providers and link to the files there.
12) Moderator / Administrator Group
The Moderator / Administrator group reserve the right to delete or move threads / posts as well as remove signatures / avatars as necessary according to the rules of the RWO forum.
13) Final decisions
Any decisions made around the intepretation of the rules above are entirely at the discretion of the site administrators. Such decisions are final.
14) Vistitors from other sites
You are most welcome to join in discussions on RWO, but remember, you are a GUEST on our site. Abide by the RWO Forum Rules or we WILL ban you.
15) Guidelines regarding Visitors to RWO for RWO members.
Be nice, not all visitors are trolls.a) If they annoy you, ignore them. They want a reaction. Don't give them one.
b) If they are abusive, report them. We will consider banning them. Don't stoop to their level.Bottom line
You are a guest on RWO - You are expected to play by the rules of the house.
