I knew we weren't that far away from the Aussies. We'll win the World Cup this year now I'm sure of it.



Seriously, I hope no NRL clubs/players are involved.

I think we all do.

It may be hard to distinguish rumour, from sensationalist reporting, from fact for a while..

The story quotes the NRL saying more than one player from more than one team is affected.

Hopefully they ban them all for life and remove any titles that were won with a drugged fuelled cheat in the team.

It wouldn't surprise me at all if a certain club with a history of cheating were main players in this. This is a major storm coming for the NRL. I just hope it's not as widespread as the article suggest. Widespread doping in the NRL would be an absolute disaster as it's a competition and organisation that has always hyped itself up on the strength, fitness and fearlessness of it's competitors. It would be a tough blow to take in PR terms and any widespread doping would lead to a similar loss of faith that cycling is suffering from.

That's exactly the first thought that i had.

That's the problem with this 'win at all cost's' attitude.... It can go too far.

roadkill achieved?

From what I’ve heard already this is going to be very big, and very bad for the image of sport in Oz!!and it's not just drugs there's crime in the form of match fixing in some sport.

Nice move by the NRL to sign their TV deal when they did.

Steven Dank, a medic at the centre of some of the allegations, has also worked with Manly, Penrith and Cronulla, i sincerely hope, for the sake of the good name of Rugby League, that it doesnt transpire these clubs and any of its players are in any way involved in this doping scandal.

think you mean Stephen Dank..........

Thanks for your contribution........
