What is the AFL's policy regarding drugs? Do players need to test positive 3 times before being in trouble?

Yes, at the moment the first positive test is only known by player and team doctor, the second positive is made known to the club and then if there is a third positive it has to be made known to the AFL and the player will no doubt get in a lot of trouble.

I believe so.  MLB started a more comprehensive testing process last year, almost every player would be tested at least once during the season.  It's hard to take the chance (see the example of Palmero).  With the suspend games increased to 50 the first time, I beleve Barry Bonds won't take the chance - that would cost him almost one-third of the salary.

He tested positive for ephedra. It is a stimulant that can supply more oxygen to muscle tissue.\n\nHe did not test positive for cocaine.

There are lawyers that specialise in this subject. This has happened before and players have won such law suits.\n\nAsk around for a specialised lawyer

It is a curse of excessive success. The more you have success, one tents to retain the same players. However, these players are getting older. And footy is a game for blokes who are young and take hits without getting injure. BL players are getting old, getting out of form, and getting niggling injuries which is causing them to miss games. It is very difficult for them to run alongside young teams such as bulldogs right now. BL will reach bottom and they will rise again, but for that, one has to wait another 5-6 years.

i could not agree more trigga1uk-if you own a vehicle then it is your responsibility to ensure all documentation is correct-and this is the view the magistrate should take. yes £20.000 a week is a ridiculous amount of money to be paid for booting a ball about but this should not make them immune to the law. bearing in mind that some players are paid in excess of £100.000 a week god only knows what they could do and then blame their agents!!!.

there are 22 players per side 18 on the ground 4 on the bench(used in rotation{interchange}) 3 in the middle, six in the back line 6 in the forward line 3 on ballers which includes all three zones(full back line, half back line, center line, half forward line, full forward line, on ballers and the interchange bench) the aim of the game is to kick the ball through the two middle posts which = 6 points either side of them = 1 point \n\nthe ways you can dispose of the ball is either to kick it or handball it to one of your  team mates it is a contact sport and given the speed these players travel at will put someone like us on our bottoms it is more dangours more then all other contact sports in australia for example leauge and union \n\nfor more information see http://afl.com.au/

Banned substance since it allows the ball to stick to your hands.  Kind of takes the physical ability down a notch\nb

England has pretty much stamped out hooliganism - there will always be some trouble when large groups from different countries (or opposing teams) meet where they have all been drinking booze.  The UK authorities have confiscated passports from known hooligans and worked with the German police/authorities to share information on these people should they make it over to Germany.  So hopefully there will not be too much trouble.  Those arrested last night should be sent home.

There is blood, urine, and oral swab tests for alcohol or controlled substance.

In California, the employing agency can request a drug test if they have a reasonable suspicion of drug use.  \n\nOfficers involved in deadly force incidents are generally asked to submit to a drug test.\n\nEmployers can ask employees to submit to a test as a condition of an assignment.  An officer wishing to work in, or continuing to work in, a narcotics task force, might well be asked to submit to a test before the assignment or at any time during the assignment.  An officer who refuses, in the absence of some kind of reasonable suspicion, will likely be denied the assignment or removed from it if already there.\n\nScheduling some kind of testing is most likely an arrangement to decided upon during negotiations with the employer.  Most agencies don't...in fact, I don't think I know of any who do.

What if the one time you tried it, you died? Would that be considered drug abuse...or an error in judgement? Would getting caught the very first time you used be worth the hassle? Define "once in a while". Once a week. Twice a week. Weekends only. How many times do you beat your child before they call it abuse? Why would you want to try it? If you want to get high, take up sky diving, downhill skiing, whitewater river rafting or some other extreme sport. Leave the dope for dopes. That's why they call it dope! <*)))><

you aren't supposed to get a red card for slikde tackling someone. Maybe a yellow card if it appeared to be on purpose, but not a red card. The ref. gave 2 red cards to the US for slide tackles. The ref was also given probation because he was involved in a scam a few years back.

The Red card is given on one of two occasions:- Two yellows in a game -automatic red or Serious offensive foul like punching, kicking without ball in play, or  deliberately stopping a sure shot goal attempt. It has nothing to do with the number of fouls

I have difficulty participating in issues that are negative.  \n\nIn a drug deal, you mean someone who purchased a narcotic to endanger their own body?  \n\nOr are you talking about someone killing someone for snatching a drug from someone selling it, without paying for it?\n\nThe Bible states that moderation is the key to substances.  So, if you are drinking as long as you are not drunk, if you take in substances that alter your state of mind as long as you are not out of control.\n\nMorally we are not supposed to violate laws that have authority over us.  If you were a policeman you would not be able to ignore it.  \n\nSo, you would have to report it to whatever authority deals with that.  The consequences are what usually makes people turn a blind eye.

it means that they have a warning\ni think if they get 3 then they are not allowed to play anymore
