Re: GWS and Lachie Whitfield - Drugs Investigation

The excuses grown men come up with, a more cynical person would say concocted, highlights that honesty is a lost art in today's society.

Have a read of this article Link

I can't believe that a footy GM and two player welfare officers along with the player concerned would come up with an elaborate story to help Whitfield get out of a relationship that was going sour by confirming to the young lady who raised this with then the suspicions she had. Certainly a lack of welfare extended to her but I can't believe 3 experienced men and one immature player would allow a story to gain momentum. All concerned seem to have deleted the relevant text messages pertaining to the allegations.

Allan has hired a legal assassin to get him off but I hope they all cop the maximum penalty.

Appears they have all taken 'story' advice from Michael Talia, as he's a proven genius who 'beat' AFEL sanctions.

Re: GWS and Lachie Whitfield - Drugs Investigation

The AFL will accept deleted text messages as a dead end to investigating further, but ASADA won't. They AFEL will be fighting like hell to keep this in house or Whitefield could be in trouble. That difficult relationship coinciding with a migraine story would be laughed at anywhere outside of an AFEL tribunal.

So he lied about hiding from drug testers because he wanted out of a relationship, but also had a migraine.

OK.

Where Kyle Cheney when you need him?

Yep, the audience that watch Sharknado 4 won't even sit through or come close to belieng the shit that dribbles out of their mouths. Funnily enough, the AFEL will cover it up. Which is a kin in my metaphor to someone watching Sharknado 4 and trying to Convince their friends it was a real & true documentary.

Re: GWS and Lachie Whitfield - Drugs Investigation

"Whitfield's former partner Nowland had contacted the club fearing for Whitfield's welfare. She emailed player welfare official Brett Hand expressing concern about Whitfield's behaviour, possible drug use and hiding from drug testers. As reported last month by Fairfax Media, Allan instructed Hand to delete the email and told Hand that Nowland was erratic and difficult and that he had taken care of the issue."

Good lord, the stench from this is putrid.

By "erratic" and "difficult" and "issue" what they clearly mean is if she can't be ignored or discredited they're all right royally f*cked.

Re: GWS and Lachie Whitfield - Drugs Investigation

I hope we are bulletproof because the flak is going to fly in all directions and stick to everyone it hits.

It's just dumb with a capital D. Was there even drug tests or testers on the horizon? Or was it a big paranoid drama that Whitfield managed to snare two grown men in?

Re: GWS and Lachie Whitfield - Drugs Investigation

Don't listen to her she's a crazy lady. We just made up a story about him maybe cheating a drug test because it was the only way to get away from her. Honest.

I don't want to say anything just in case I say something but do you reckon she might have been the one on drugs and it's all just been a misunderstanding.

Re: GWS and Lachie Whitfield - Drugs Investigation

I just read Caro's article today and to make matters worse even if you want to believe the whole story was concocted to throw off Whitfields girlfriend his story that he was saying at Craig Lamberts place to avoid potential tests it now loses a lot given the girlfriend was overseas at the time. There was no need to co-ordinate this story between the 3 of them.

This from Caro

It is difficult to imagine why a footballer attempting to handle or finish a turbulent relationship with a so-called unpredictable and erratic partner would tell her that he feared he could test positive to performance-enhancing drugs after taking illicit substances. Further, that even though she was overseas at the time, he would make up the fact via text message that he was moving into Lambert's home to avoid a potential drug test - when instead he had a migraine.

So the 3 stooges argument is that the relationship was going sour and that she was an erratic partner which begs the question of if you really believe that she was erratic why would you present her with a concocted story that would only cause her more angst?

Gubby Allan is an experienced GM of Football and if he signed off on this story Collingwood should be looking for his replacement now.
Why it's taken the AFL so long for this to be reported is highly questionable and you would also have to ask GWS why those concerned only received warnings.

Re: GWS and Lachie Whitfield - Drugs Investigation

The AFEL's corporate partners need to intervene and force the sport to be more transparent and diligent in its governance. Smart businesses are realising that associating their brands with Mickey Mouse Small Town Hick organisations creates an undesirable exposure to them. A threat to withdraw sponsorship dollars will be the only thing that can turn the culture of the AFEL around, because they sure as anything don't care about how they're perceived by reasonable punters.

That this could take a year and a half to come to light is unbelievably embarrassing in itself, but blaming Whitfield's girlfriend's erratic nature to be the only defence for hiding Whitfield at Lambert's house takes the cake - especially given she was overseas at the time. That these dickheads are apparently elite operators within the sport...........
