Great to hear!The Wheel said:Just on Fox Sports news scroll/alert that all Manly players have been tested and no banned substances found (sorry if mentioned elsewhere)
I didn't want to burst bubbles either, but still to early to crack the bubbly.Lord Eagleton said:Let me play devils advocate here. Look at the wording - "No players, past or present have TESTED positive to PERFORMANCE ENHANCING STIMULANTS".
They have talked about phone taps and also illicit drugs being involved. Who's to say they dont have phone confessions from players who have bought a bag of cocaine or pingers for a night out?
Manly is not in the clear yet, but its promising nonetheless.

Lord Eagleton said:^^^Exactly. That souths kid got done for making claims via text that he had done peps. But never got tested and caught (obviously, being pep's)
It might not be prosecutable, but it would probably be enough to suggest a player has broken the rules of their contract and taken illicit drugs, thus they are suspended/punted.
