Run Benny run!!

Collingwood should have the 1990 flag stripped. Along with Carlton 1995 and West Coast 2006. And a few others in between.

WWIII if that happened.... :hihi

We all know about WC but how do the Blooze fit in to this jb?

Seems Cuz's partner in crime, Kerr has nearly as many problems in front of him. On top of his upcoming court case, somebody he's upset just fried his house. Couple of out n out footy champions who've totally trashed their lives.

Shows how useless deterrents are. Mainwaring's death obviously means nothing to certain players/people.

I think it would be a fair assumption that they aren't the only clubs in this position.

Compassion is a human value we could all strive for.

Yes and no.

Any compassion I had for Cousins washed up a long time ago.

He is running amok on the gear and is driving whilst drug affected, putting innocent members of the community at risk.

I can only hope that he doesn't injure or kill someone and I am sure any victim's families wouldn't have much compassion for him then.

Wow-Crosisca use to go and have a snort at half time in the toilets when he was assistant coach to Pagan WTF

Who was that retired player that came out and said a lot of players are on gear. Then everyone in the industry turned on him and made him out to be a lying attention seeker

AFL outrage over drug claims

March 6 2002

AFL Football Operations Manager Andrew Demetriou said today the drugs allegations from retired Sydney player Dale Lewis were an insult to the overwhelming majority of players.

Demetriou said the claim in this morning's press that up to 75 percent of players had taken some sort of recreational drug did not match reality.

He added the league had one of the strongest anti-drug programs of any sporting league in the world, but only two players had been suspended after returning positive tests.

"The suggestions of drugs being rife in the AFL are inaccurate and exaggerated," he said. Demetriou added any player breaching the doping rules could expect to be caught sooner rather than later.

The league said at a media conference this afternoon it would write to Lewis seeking clarification of the claims made in the media this morning.

Always thought Lewis would have been fairly close to the mark n Dimi has proven over the years he's a deaf dumb n *smile* blind ostrich, never anyone doing anything wrong until the *smile* blows up in his face.
75% might have been a slightly high call at the time but you could safely bet your left one that plenty of young players have a dabble n taste at sometime during the off season. For many of them it may be only one or two times that they'll try a bong or an eccy, perhaps snort a line just out of curiosity or joining in with some mates, but it's certain to happen.
There's always a few that will become more regular users n a handful that wind up in deep *smile* fully hooked on whatever it takes.

 

[Dyer'ere]

Lewis was particularly vulnerable to the AFL at the time he renounced his drug claims. I can't remember exactly why, some job or other AFL role.

It was a classic Dimitriou play.

Aker's claims were more aimed at steroid abuse than recreational drug use I thought. Has there been a suggestion that Wet coke were into that stuff as well?

This whole Benny Cousins episode is like watching a train wreck in slow motion, it's a tragedy really. I can't imagine how his family feels.

In hindsight we would have to suspect that he was taking drugs when he was at Richmond. It's stretching the imagination to think he was suddenly clean for 2 years.
