Bronson Xerri: Ban over. Off to Dogs?

[Chip and Chase]

Testing is incredibly expensive. If subjects call for the "B" sample to be tested and results return the same verdict they should have to pay for the "B" sample test.

According to this post it isn't expensive at all.

Fees | Australian Sports Anti-doping Authority - ASADA

These charges are valid for all services provided from the 1 January 2020. All charges are per test unless otherwise stated, and are inclusive of GST. We may negotiate revised unit costs where clients enter into contracts for significant testing programs involving combined urine and blood...

www.asada.gov.au

If I'm reading that correctly it is $1,000.00 to have a urine sample collected and tested. That's nothing. So it would cost the NRL $500K to sample and test every player in the 30 man squad of all 16 teams. If they did this randomly during the pre season then you can clean up the sport. You wouldn't be relying on tip offs.

Players are more likely to want to "bulk up" and/or work on rehab for off season surgery or injury recovery during the pre season period. That seems the most obvious time that banned substances might be used. If every player knew they were going to be tested between October and March then they are less likely to be tempted. I wonder how many players get tested in a season as part of the random process ??

Actually this article answers some of the questions about frequency of testing. It is Danny The Worm so grain of salt required.

Xerri passed six tests in year before positive result

The Herald can reveal Bronson Xerri had been drug tested eight times since November 2018. The seventh test produced the positive result.

So.... how's this all going?

 

[MissKate]

@globaleagle - exactly - that was my question regarding the timing of the announcement on him. If it was held off to catch a bigger fish then usually they happens at the same time or very shortly after. I am still well sus about the timing of the announcement

 

[globaleagle]

I hadn't seen this posted... even though it's a month ago.

Still dunno what the situation is...with either Xerri or Segeyaro for that matter.

Anyway..

It's B-Day for Bronson Xerri in ASADA steroids case

The fate of Cronulla’s Bronson Xerri may be sealed on Tuesday when the Sharks teenager is due to have his B-sample tested at a laboratory in north-west Sydney.

The fate of Cronulla’s Bronson Xerri may be sealed on Tuesday, when the Sharks teenager is due to have his B-sample tested at a laboratory in north-west Sydney after returning an initial positive test to anabolic steroids.

Mystery surrounds how the 19-year-old flyer intends to respond to the doping scandal that threatens to blow up his promising career. Beyond a brief statement issued through his management nearly a fortnight ago, in which he said he was “devastated but ... bound by the system”, there has been not a murmur from the Xerri camp.

Former Cronulla and Brisbane hooker James Segeyaro could be given the opportunity to front an anti-doping tribunal within weeks after the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Agency referred the matter back to the NRL for a final call on the 29-year-old’s future.

And Sharks centre Bronson Xerri is expected to be interviewed by ASADA on Friday, where he will be given the opportunity to mitigate any ban by providing assistance and potentially receive the results of his B sample.

I guess his B-sample returned a reading for Busted.

Bye bye Bronson

 

[globaleagle]

Apparently he just has to say that there's been some promised and unpaid third party agreements and he'll tell.

Then the sharks wont sack him, the vlandy will get sweeping and the intoddgrity commission wont investigate.

All while mouthpiece phil will ignore it and go after those monsters who bring it up.

'No athlete should put themselves in that position': Sandor Earl's advice to suspended Bronson Xerri

Bronson Xerri is appealing a four-year doping ban, but former NRL star Sandor Earl says his experience shows the suspended Cronulla Sharks player can make a future comeback if he wants.

www.abc.net.au

Suspended Cronulla Sharks youngster Bronson Xerri faces the NRL Appeals Tribunal before Christmas over his doping ban, but it will be weeks before his fate is decided.
The 19-year-old had the world at his feet during his debut 2019 NRL season.

He was the Shark's rising star, finished as the league's 12th-highest try scorer with 13 (from 22 games) including a hat-trick against the Dragons in round 25 and a double the next week.

That dream start came crashing down when he was suspended in May 2020 for allegedly using and possessing anabolic steroids (testosterone, androsterone, etiocholanolone and 5b-androstane-3a,17b-diol).

I noticed Earl got done for trafficking unlike Xerri (according to the article). Using compared to trafficking is a much bigger suspension I would have thought, just going on your dope, meth, speed fines and suspensions that happen in criminal courts.As long as their inaugural GF (cough, snort this, you’ll be right, try this one too, it’ll just sting a bit going in). never has an asterisk next too it , all good in the Shire. Ain’t that right SCoMo?

A 19 year old doing the lifting regime of an elite footballer should have testosterone oozing from his eyeballs natty. Maybe Bronson was just embarrassed about the old cocktail frankfurt...

I like this quote from the doctor!

"There is so much performance improvement to be had through good health, diet, sleep, regular exercise — rather than harming your body — no one ever tested positive for broccoli," ,

Steroids makes it smaller right?
