Heard Fava interviewed on ABC radio this morning by Liam Bartlett. Can't say that I was all that impressed with Liam and his line of questioning but Scotty came up fine. It might not have come across very well in the media so far but the reading was not just an indicator for the amount of Alcohol in his system but more about the amount of Rehydration that he consumed whilst drinking alcohol. The better hydrated the body the better a player will recoup after a game.
Basically, the rule is in place so that players are not told how many beers they can drink, but how well they look after their bodies whilst drinking the beers. So as long as they stay well hydrated (ie. Drink losts of water as well) then they are not restricted by any amount of beers.
Fava also stated that he didn't eat any food after the match which also contributed to the reading.
So the moral of the story is. If you are going to drink, make sure that you eat food and also drink plenty of water.
Liam did finish of the interview by praising Fava for facing up to the indescretion and publicly stated that some of the other Perth based teams should maybe have similar policies.
