I doubt any are cyclists tho... I heard that the drug can be found in a party drug (im not sure which) so i would bet it was NRL players taking them at a party or something.

From what I've seen on Foxsports News there are no AFL or NRL players that tested positive. The Rugby League players came from the Toyota Cup (under 20s), Jim Beam Cup (NSW league) and the Queensland Cup. The rest apparently competed at the Commonwealth Games, but I have no idea which sports they came from.

ASADA claim it is in most of the over the counter waight loss suppliments like Wehy Protine and protine meal replacement suppliments.
So will it be a chance for those effected to get some money back if they are suspended.
In Australia it must state on the lable if it is not stated and proven it is in the suppliment the manufacturers will copp the Compo big time but lots of this stuff is imported by the athleats from God knows where.

If its imported by a health food chain it is theire responcibility.

I'm in shock. Australian governing sporting bodies protecting their own? :rolleyes:

As shown by the ongoing Rui Costa case, it doesn't matter if you conclusive prove that the supplement was contaminated. You're still getting suspended.

The rules are clear: You're responsible for what's found in your body.
 
This cannot be true. I have it on good authority from members in good standing in this forum that Australians would never ever use PEDs. I refuse to believe that those good aussie boys, who everyone knows are clean and who have a reputation amongst other athletes for refusing to even take a Tic Tac, could have ever partaken of the Demon Dope. It must have been contaminated protein powder. Yeah, that's the ticket. That might work. Contaminated protein supplements! Everyone knows those are lousy with stimulants. Manufacturers just put them in for fun.

Sarcasm aside, as of this moment Evans and Riccò have the same personal coach. That is all.

Maybe you should read some of thehog's posts.

AS does he with Basso. Though Cadel does not like Ricco at all.

I was going to post this yesterday but thought I may be defying my nation by suggesting that every athlete isn't 100% clean.

Interesting if people were testing positive because of "contaminated recreational drugs".

If they were taking "supplements" then I will not feel too sorry for them.

If they were knowingly taking it as a PED - about time ASADA caught someone.

The top photo he is just waving to someone and the 2nd photo he is laughing when at Cadel when he told ricco he was clean.

on a serious note I thought he may have sent something nasty about ricco in the past. Maybe I am getting confused with vino.

So what? If he laughs with a convicted doper it makes him a doper then?

In the clinic that's overwhelming evidence.

No, you just need to hope that if Ricco is going to get busted, it happens before their training relationship begins.

I believe Sassi's motives are genuine and even though it may be Ricco's own decision to dope, it will reflect poorly on Sassi, Evans and Basso.

5 Jamaican athletes in 2009, 2 Nigerian athletes during the 2010 Commonwealth Games, 2 Portuguese cyclists this month and now 9 Australian athletes. Nice DMAA series. And Australia wins.

DAOTEC responds to the comment that "Cadel does not like Ricco at all" with evidence pictures showing the contrary

That is a bit of a cheap shot.

Daotec never said Cadel was a doper, he challenged your remark that "Cadel does not like Ricco at all"

ASADA are not protecting anyone they are warning them they state they dont condone suppliments in any form.

They recomend that you dont use suppliments.

ASADA is not Government the Government just pay them I dont think the Australian government know much about ASADA .

If any big name Australian athleats are banned from the olympics by ASADA watch the funding dissapear.

Yes, but whenever he gets a chance he uses it to make comments that are of poor taste about Australia.

At least someone has common sense. I don't like it but Sassi won't be their coach for very long. Supposedly he only has till July.:(

I'd bet more money on Ricco being clean right now than on Cadel.

Are you back on the dope, El Clenbuterlero? It is really getting to you. I guess it is theraputic for you as a doper to stick up for another doper.

How long ago did this news break in Australia? Someone mentioned they were going to post it yesterday, so I assume for a bit of time now... anyway, what are some other sports that they might possibly be from? I'm not very familiar with the drug in question.

Why are you so racist against dopers?
