who really cares why it took so long for asada to address this matter with xerri i dont know what the in and outs are with asada procedures and i couldnt give a farrrrk the footy is back on thats all that count
I think it would be naive to think he is the only player in the game to be juicing. Like salary cap busts it's only when there is a tip off from a give up that someone is caught.

Thought ASADA was supposed to be testing all players, in and out of competition.
seems to be strange that he fronted the press the day before discussing the upcoming match - did he know the results then or the next day? - had a post season op on a shoulder though? - I assume both Aand B samples came back positive? - what happens next - initial 4 year ban - appeal based on evidence of taking something unknowingly or severity of the ban - maybe the Warnie defence his Mother gave it to him
Who says it took ages? My understanding is...
1. His A sample has failed and he's been suspended immediately.
2. The B sample is yet to be tested.
3. It's steroids and he miraculously recovered from an injury.
Speculation (from me) is that:
- They found out just before COVID-19 struck but there was no announcement (hence the dramas releasing J-Moz + J-Moz was confused by their odd responses to his request)
- The announcement has come out now because they can't use him in round 3.
- Maybe they were hoping to have a B sample tested by now so that they could have a more definitive answer?

IMO lotsa people must cheat. My suspicion is that a lot do it when they are younger (e.g. HGH and steroids so that they are 10cm taller than they should be and heavily built), this gives them access to elite programs from the age of 14-15 so they grow up with all the best coaching + opportunities. At that sorta age it's more meaningful too because being huuuge will be enough to get you a place in the top teams. It's later on that skill's more important... if you're a forward or centre then a lot of that skill can be learned by anybody so long as they have the size and opportunities.
I mean... how many promising players have quit aged ~15-16 because they are 'too small'?
With that amount of gear allegedly found in him You cannot think one would be that stupid not to know
I dunno how the bans work but generally speaking, recklessness proves intent. Maybe he'll geta lesser ban if he demonstrates it was part of a larger scheme that he was oblivious to. However, IMO his career's now effectively over. Maybe he'll get a job at a crossfit gym in Thailand, handing out hi-fives and useful fitness tips like 'do you even lift bro?'
Can somebody get him Sun Yang's number?
Sigh... pretty sad because he didn't NEED to play for the Sharks in 2020!!!! He coulda signed with us, told John Morris he's 'doing his best to get fit but has been advised he's 6+ months off being match fit' and then been fit for 2021. Such a stupid decision! However, the decision has been made and IMO it shows he's not the right character for Easts. We dodged a bullet there!
