FYI

Just hearing on 2gb all betting has been stopped on the cronulla game apparently their could be up to 14 players being stood down due to the dopping saga.

Just passing on what i am hearing on the radio
 
gee this is a tough tough time for RL atm

barba suspension, unfortunate death of a young gun, this doping/match-fixing scandal, fans agry about rule changes (shoulder charge bans), SBW back in RL and not to mention the season starts tomorrow.

david smith is gonna have a big task on his hands… i doubt he has handled something like this at his last job.
 
AT least six Sharks players are in the sights of ASADA officials, who this week commenced interviews at the club in relation to the agency's widespread investigation into doping in Australian sport.

Leading bookmakers have also just suspended betting on the Sharks' first round clash with the Titans.

It's understood the players of interest maintained personal contact with sports scientist Stephen Dank, who worked at Cronulla for a brief period in early 2011.

Dank was dismissed after a falling out with Sharks doctor David Givney, who didn’t approve of the manner in which he administered supplements.

News Limited has also revealed that Dank supplied at least one Sharks player with blood thinning agent, Warfarin, and used a private room at former medical clinic in Bankstown to inject players away from their clubs.

There was also rampant speculation that a press conference would be held this afternoon to announce the individuals concerned, but the NRL has denied any knowledge of this.

Comment is currently being sought from Sharks officials.

FFS! Are they timing these announcements to do maximum damage to rugby league???
 
Terror are running with it http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/at-least-six-cronulla-sharks-players-in-sights-of-asada-officials/story-e6freuy9-1226591552380

Michael Gordon won't be a problem but I'd hate to have anyone in their forward pack…

Their timing them based on where their operation is at that time. They really don't care one way or another about the NRL's calendar…

If the player didn't have a clotting condition then this is bloody irresponsible on Dank's part. Mishandling of dosage can cause a wide range of issues, especially in a high contact sport where bleeding, both internally and externally, are high risk.

I think the bigger scandal will be another ex-player who certainly didn't need blood thinning or other medication given his well-known disease… Certainly did him no favours in the long run
 
Oh dear….

On the positive side, the brother-in-law is a Sharks fan, every bagging session ends up with me asking him when they last won a premiership to the retort that my team doesnt exist anymore... they have a decent squad this year, so I was going to be death riding them hard. As much of a shame as the situation is for the code as a whole, it may mean I can put my silks and crop away.
 
OK they gotta make an announcement very very soon, cant leave people hanging, tips have to be in by tomorro night

id say hes meaning Luke lewis
 
Cronulla is in trouble, if the rumours are false they have still done massive damage to their reputation, and if they are true then Cronulla could be the first club in a long time to be fighting for survival as an NRL team. At least Melbourne had a multi billion dollar business backing them in 2010.

I'd almost feel sorry for them if they didn't recruit half our team :/ wtb Gibbs

Alcoholism is the disease you're referring to?
 
At worst this is a club without a major sponsor, without a naming rights sponsor for the stadium. This will hurt them in ways that will leave them vulnerable. This will have very serious implications beyond the reputations of players. Feel very sorry for their fans though. 2013 looked so promising for them. For their sake I hope the worst doesn't eventuate.
