Had a chance during a well earned lunch break to have a squiz at a Fox replay of the come back kid against the maggots. Very interesting. Didn't see any knock to the scone. The little scallywag also appears to have a carer on the boundary. He also appeared to be chatting away at the end of the game and went onto the field to shake hands with the maggots. Then he is admitted to casualty for observation with a suspected concussion??? Still its good to see the Tiges showing such concern. Apparently the waxed clean skin is regularly tested at training. He can (and hopefully will be) subjected to additional unscheduled drug testing by the anti-doping agency. If Cuz was a racehorse that kind of testing regime with no mandatory competition day testing would be laughed off the courseBevo bandwagon driverComment

But he's not, so that has to be the most stupid argument you have ever put on these boards. Keep it up, your posts are getting more and more laughable every day. Maybe it is you who needs some testing?
Either that, or he needs to take out an intervention order against you, as you appear to be as obsessed with him as you are with Bevan.Last edited by goswannie14; 4 March 2009, 03:35 PM.Does God believe in Atheists?Comment

The issue is not the sport but effective drug testing in sport. Believe it or not thoroubred and standard bred horse racing is legally defined as a sport. Greyhounds aren't but we won't go into that here. Cousins is an admitted (former if you beleive him or not if if you don't) addicted user of a species of drug that is WADA listed as a performance enhancer and prohibited from use in competition in all sports throughout the world. WADA (the first letter of the acronym is "World") has jurisdiction over all sports of all signatory countries (of which Oz is one). So the protocol under which he has been allowed to compete in the AFL is that he submits to a program of a minimum number of tests every week. As a sporting competator under WADA jurisdiction he is also compelled to submit to random mandatory testing by the national anti-doping agency. The point is this. Methamphetamine is dispersed from the body usually after twenty four hours of use and is undetectable by testing. This is one of the reasons that Cousins did not record a positive during his time of admitted methamphetimine abuse. The other was and is the complete inadequacy of AFL in competition testing for methamphetimine. For Cousins, an admitted user of methamphetimine (which is a particularly difficult addiction to break) not to be subject to madatory testing on match day, whether in official programmed matches or NAB Cup is ludicrous. I used the example of thoroughbred and standard bred racing (under WADA jurisdiction through the International Equestrian Federation affiliation) because mandatory drug testing and steward survelliance of questionable stables and their horses is commonplace and is expected as part of the attempt to establish some integrity in the sport. The clown Demetriou ran a campaign against "boring"football while his mate slept at the wheel over in the west as a dangerous drug culture overtook a football club that played in two premierships and won one. And Cousins led the implosion of that club.Bevo bandwagon driverComment

If every player were to be tested on game day and say mid week - imagine the jobs it would create!!!! (Kevvy & Waswa would be thrilled)
I'm still not a fan of the 3 strikes and you are out rule when you allegedly have 6 players on their 2nd strike and they have the benefit of privacy & confidentiality. I would consider they are doing pretty much the same as what Cousins did. Cousins was put through the wringer for admitting he was doing the gear, yet he never tested positive to any ASADA testing. I'm still no fan of the boy - but I feel that the rules are flawed when it comes to Cousins versus the rest.Last edited by Wardy; 5 March 2009, 06:42 AM.I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure..................

The piss testers can walk in at half time and say piss into this cup for me please.
That's where the "random" bit comes in.
They can also turn up to training unannounced; or, they can ring up and make an appointment with the team.Wild speculation, unsubstantiated rumours, silly jokes and opposition delight in another's failures is what makes an internet forum fun.
Blessed are the cracked for they are the ones who let in the light.Comment

- 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.
