Reported on SEN that Sam Murray is under ASADA investigation.

For illicit drugs which ASADA deems performance enhancing if found on game day

Boo, these stories are never nice to hear about, especially when it's an ex player (well OK, I probs wouldn't mind it if was Tom Mitchell!)

Doesn't sound good at the moment for Sam, silly boy if he's taking illicit drugs during the season

[mattybloods]

Does that mean he's had 3 strikes or is the issue that they are performance enhancing?

If you test positive to them on game day , they are deemed performance enhancing ( as is the case here )

Sad news - he was doing so well. You would think players would learn, but I think it is harder than people think, even for people who don't take illegal drugs. You have to take supplements and medicine to perform at that level, but only the *right* supplements and medicine.

I remember a work colleague of mine was competing in the Australian Dragon Boat team and had a bit of a cold. Later that day and I saw him with a box of very mild cold medication on his desk and surfing the ASADA website. He said "I can't take *anything* without knowing exactly what's in it - not even panadol or a vitamin C tablet".

And of course, once you take any illegal drugs, you completely lose control of the situation, as Thomas and Keefe already found out.

The 3 strikes if for illicit drugs, however some illicit drugs may have performance enhancing substances in them i.e. like the tablets the other naughty Collingwood boys took

Go test Richmond ASADA

They should all use Tumeric Tea. Takes away the inflammation. Heard an ex AFL player on the radio saying a Tumeric diet has worked wonders for him.

Drugs are bad, m'kay.

From the afl article:

"The substance detected by ASADA was an illicit drug, which when detected on match-day is regarded as performance enhancing and thus carries the potential of a four-year ban from football."

Wow.....for his sake, I hope he doesn't get that long. Silly boy!

I don’t wish anything bad on Sam Murray, I’m glad we got a second rounder for someone who might not be much use to the Pies

Everyone we send to them is not much use.

Lets hope he is not guilty, but how many have been not guilty; few and far between. After the Essendon saga they all know what they can't have. For such a young person to get caught up with this @@@@.
