The 3 players that tested positive to illicit drugs have been named on a forum.
Does anyone know what site this is? |

Let's just say they are from teams west of the border, and we didn't play against one last week.

Keep it between yourselves guys - keep this stuff as far as you can away from here (ie. email or whatever). Obviously there are implications. |

One high profile QC has come out and advised the AFLPA they will struggle to win if they pursue the matter in court. At the moment its a game of bluff. The AFLPA believes the precedent has been set with the Gutnik matter a few years ago (re defamation).
This will be interesting what transpires. Freedom of speech on a forum? very interesting. |

Good points Dale but on football fansites what is exactly freedom of speech ?
Im all for freedom of speech on any subject if the person has the guts to sign off on his real name, The sad thing about any football fansite at the moment is none of them have any credibility whatsoever how can there be one ounce of credibility when people can say and virtually do what they like without any accountability and or responsibility.
Most players are disgusted with what transpires on football fansites, inuendos allegations, rumours, lies, some people claiming to have all the facts it just goes on and on.
Freedom of speech under an assumed nick name ? _________________ Football is Greatness

I agree with you there, but there is no difference in you or I calling the rumour file on 3AW and saying something that may not be true.
Players can be disgusted; they enjoy the life style and the huge income that comes with the profile. When something does not go their way they do not like it.
On naming the three players, how can it be defamation if it is true?
The players are protected and have many advantages over you and me. We would not get three warnings for using illicit drugs.
Players can bitch and moan all they like, how many cases do you want me to list where because they are a AFL player they are slapped across the wrist for their indiscretions. I think I could bring at least 20 from the past 5 years. The recent Cousins case is a good example. The judge even admitted he was a West Coast supporter. $900 fine, would we have copped the same penalty.
They cannot have it both ways.
Personally if a player sooks over what is said on a fan site he should be seeking a counselling service.
To add, I would prefer only legitimate email accounts to be able to sign up on forums. (No accounts such as hotmail etc). That would cut the crap a fair bit. People who use free mail accounts do so because they believe they can get away with anything. |
