Doping in Australian Professional Sport - New Evidence

I suppose it was inevitable, particularly given the material over the past few days involving Essendon AFL club and what appears to have been some dodgy supplement use.

BUT......today it is all over the local media about drugs and possible matchfixing in at least one  [ yet unnamed] football code.

Both rugby league and AFL seemed to be getting mentioned in the media earlier in the week, but there is no hint of which sport is involved in the material today, but possibly many.  And there are comments from many different professional sports.

Read some of the main media reports here:

This is a rapidly evolving story today with more details expected.

AFL - Last Saturday in September

Most Australians would recognise the significance of the heading - The AFL Grand Final.

It has come and gone; Geelong the victor over St Kilda, in a very close game in which the lead changed quite a few times, but Geelong was in front when it counted..........at the end. It was, for me, a non AFL devotee [ really - I could not care much] worth watching. A good close gritty game.

BUT......the big question now..........what do AFL fans do on a Saturday afternoon, or rather between Thursday and Monday, as there are games each day in that period? Is there now time to mow the lawn, fix the car, chat up the wife or girlfriend, or even.........go surfing.

There is life after football.
