    they were gagged - apparently part of the anti-doping code that they can't comment until it's all decided.

    so... appeal the decision, challenge the anti-doping code or f.off to the states to be a running back? your move wendell

    yeah but this is the offical response - most people knew or suspected it would be this months ago.

    It will probably be back dated to when he first got caught

    If the USA want him then he'd be mad not to go and try for it, he'll never earn decent money in Australian rugby again, probably his last chance before retiring is would suspect.

    Chuck Norris has the greatest Poker-Face of all time. He won the 1983 World Series of Poker, despite holding only a Joker, a Get out of Jail Free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades and a green #4 card from the game Uno.

    as long as he has to pay back the $10,000 per week that he's been receiving since been suspended then I've got no problem with them back-dating the suspension.

    Buggered if he'll even play for the 'Tahs again though, what a dissapointment. The timing was impecable to write off our season, about 2 hours before kickoff in the only home game we lost this year.

    not the first time though frontrow that money has stuffed up a sporting career, won't be the last.

    Get shit loads of money, pressures of performing, turn to drugs to help... it is a sad thing

    When i used to play we`d barely have enough cash for a bit a herb and a gut load of beer, usually after the game, but not always,(and some guys had half time top ups) hehehe

    Not having a go at yanks larry, just that the American football players are steroid munchers, therefore i class them as druggos. Probably a bit over the top, so soory if i caused offence

    and Baseball.. Bonds is the player who broke Babe Ruth's home run record.

    No offense taken, I was just wondering why you thought that.

    You are confusing the NFL (football players) with the MLB (steriod munching baseball players). The NFL radomly test 6 or 8 players from every team every week for steriods and masking agents.

    As for Barry Bonds he is far from loved, most think any record he breaks shouldn't go in the books. Baseball is a joke for letting the players get away with using drugs for so long. The NFL isn't the same.

    fair enough, I only read about him yesterday so really don't know much about the issue.. from the article it seemed he was trying to turn it into a racial debate when really he's just a drug cheat who happens to be black.

    6-8 players from each team each week is massive, I imagine that's probably the most tested sport bar none! Our guys can go an entire season without being tested..

    But that's only for steriods, performance enhancing drugs and cover up agents. For recreational drugs the players know well in advance when they will be tested. So if they fail that test they truely have a drug problem. Not a year goes by without a few failing though and getting suspended.

    Barry Bonds is simply the biggest A-hole in the sporting world.
