Fremantle's Ryan Crowley tests positive to banned substance

Re: Fremantle's Ryan Crowley tests positive to banned substance

I think the key question is What's a Allied Health Professional and why/how are they prescribing any substance at all that contains a scheduled substance that usually only prescribed by drug and alcohol doctors.

A health professional (not including medical, nursing or dental professionals) who has direct patient involvement. In Australia, an AHP can be: Audiologists, Chiropractors, Dietitians, Exercise Physiologists, Genetic Counsellors, Music Therapists, Occupational Therapists, Orthoptists, Orthotist/Prosthetists, Osteopaths, Hospital Pharmacists, Physiotherapists, Podiatrists, Perfusionists, Psychologists, Social Workers, Sonographers, Speech Pathologists, with the Associations for Audiometrists, Diabetes Educators, Diversional Therapists and Practice Managers as Friends.

Exactly, I used to drive a mate who was recovering to the chemist every third day. I knew there was a codeine / meth connection but I couldn't remember what it was.



I'm sure you are looking into it too much. If Crowley needs meth as you're implying it means he's been on H, not just once or twice but many times and recently. You can't hide a H habit, you just can't.

Do we call methodone "meth" as well?

Absolutely Jeemak and calling it that is actually a huge insult to people on methadone.

Drug and alcohol counsellors or therapists?

Re: Fremantle's Ryan Crowley tests positive to banned substance

Or looking at it another way, why are they prescribing a substance banned under the WADA code to a professional athlete

Not that it matters, WADA don't care what the reason is if you've got the substance in your system. Saad got done for an unlabelled ingredient

Maybe ignorance of the rules? Although it would be up to them to get up to book on what your responsibilitys were.

Maybe he didn't indentify as a professional athlete?

Drug and alcohol counsellors or therapists?

Not in that list. Not 100% sure though, and there is no universally accepted definition of an AHP.

Crawley's case just seems like a stuff up. Probably got a chronic problem and pushed the health professional for something stronger and either was happy to run the risk or was just plain stupid.

His ban is now over. Crowley is free to be selected.
