As far as this "drug barons" of league & union scandal goes, I quite frankly find this to be sensationalist mainstream media "journalism" at its worst, for mine I would be far more concerned if these guys were doing a Lance Armstrong & were actively involved in the importation, distribution & administration of performance enhancing substances (which are more than likely far more prevalent in our game than any of us would like to believe) such as, TRT, peptides, anabolic steroids etc, as this is a blatant form of cheating, & also has huge irreversible ramifications on the biological balance of the human body, but no, they have instead committed far worse crimes against humanity & have actively decided to personally use & sling some ice (a more or less victimless crime) so themselves & others can jump a bump ... OH NO !!! lets blindfold these demons, line them up against the wall, march out the firing squad & smoke them shall we ??? ... tongue firmly in cheek
Under the current laws & the NRL's so called constitution, I would never be so naive as to expect these guys to walk away scott free, far from it, but if you look at some of the savage vitriol they are receiving from all over the internet & mainstream media, you would be relatively justified in believing that these guys were possibly flying around Australia in a 747 indiscriminately mass spraying people with ebola lol
I've said it before, I'll say it again & I'll more than likely say it some more (but not on this thread, as I'm sure there's some voyeurs here who just want get off on the scandal lol) ... its all a matter of perspective
