Instead Demertriou said he and Adrian Andreson met with Cuzzy and his dad today and said he needs more medical treatment.

Returns against all evidence and advice that addiction could not have been overcome in such a short time.
No wonder the Eagles do what they want, the AFL pander to it.

Cousins had 14 drug tests and passed them all, so he hadn't taken any drugs in the 48 hours previous to the drug tests, which says a lot more about Ben Cousins drug addiction, or lack of a drug addiction, than it says about the AFLs drug testing policies.
So what do you call a bloke who can go more than 48 hours without taking drugs?? Not a drug addict in my language.
The AFL and West Coast have chosen to label him an addict so they can medicalise the problem and book him into rehab, rather than the alternative, which was to call him a cheat and a man of weak character who was unable to control his impulses to take illegal drugs.
You reckon Terry is a spin doctor, he has got nothing on the AFL and West Coast on this issue!
