NH- Cousins suspended

The AFL could add some clarity by releasing its policy and the guidelines relevent to to ruling.

My question is .... and not specifically in relation to Cousins...where does cocaine use sit as a performance enhancing drug?

Athletes who have been found guillty of PED use or use of masking agents have generally received penalties greater than one year.

Citizens who are in possession of illegal substances face civil courts. Therefore if the AFL has knoweledge of illegal substance abuse are they or should they turn over that information to police?

I haven't heard of any claims of Cousins suing the media for misrepresentation apart from the police charges that were later dropped when they found drugs in his car just before leaving for the US. You might like to enlighten us on where you heard he was dead for I haven't heard that either.

Its a reward considering the talk was that his career in football was over. A 12 month ban is just time you would normally expect him to recover from his addiction and be ready to play again anyway. From his behavior of late, I doubt he will be ready in 12 months regardless of whether he is allowed to play or not. How successful do you think he was in his latest trip to the US for rehab?

Its a reward, not a punishment. I am sure he and everyone else had expected a harsher penalty. A total lifelong ban was not out of the question.
