What possible justification could there be for naming a player who tests positive to having THC in his blood, from smoking a joint in the off-season?

Illegal substances of any description need to be stamped out of our game.
The penalties need to be high.

You won’t hear from hawksta now, his team, management, players and supporters have turned a blind eye to the drug culture at Hawks, now the proof is there, 3 strikes, oh dear, I guess that means that 2008 was just a drug fluke premiership, now that is what i am talking about, that is one hell of a drug tainted season!

I don’t remember Tuck playing in the finals in that year.

Nice try

Even if that is the case, there is alot more inuendo around that club of 7 players on strike 2, and I don’t think there was inuendo at eagles about positive results on testing on game days etc

3 strikes sounds like baseball and that’s a fatman’s sport!
2 strikes should be the limit, 1 so as to warn the player that vigilance is always needed, in the event it truly was an accident. Which I’m sure in some cases it does.
Splash - in terms of AFL standard I am a VERY average footballer but I could certainly keep up with most players during some of the highs that I’ve had.
Past tense grin
Your views might suggest your experience isn’t past tense....

Clearly the medical fraternity don’t agree with you.

The State’s main doctors’ group says the AFL’s controversial three-strikes policy for drug users should be adopted in other sports, to rehabilitate rather than name and shame players dealing with addiction.

The Australian Medical Association WA yesterday claimed widespread criticism of the policy was “self-serving” and putting the interests of football clubs, coaches and administrators first.

It also confirmed it wrote to the AFL commission in 2007 at the height of Ben Cousins’ battle with drugs, urging them to support his rehabilitation and resist the temptation to “crucify” him...................
