Message: [QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2654271, member: 2221"] Without serving as an excuse or a reason to punish them less than they should be, there is something very wrong with allowing people like Packer, Metcalf, Lui or Bird to play NRL, regardless whether they were punished or not, and throwing the book at these guys for doing a few lines of coke during a couple of parties. Worse even, is the doping scandal at the Sharks resulting in 3 weeks effective punishment, and these guys facing 4 years. I don't have any sympathy for any of them, and I know the law is the law, but this all feels like a mountain is being made out of a mole hill, and the QCC is using the players notoriety to make more of this than it really is, more than likely because they can't catch the real bad guys... P.S. My opinion is probably fundamentally biased, because I firmly believe that illicit recreational substance use shouldn't be criminalised (as opposed to its trafficking and distribution), but controlled. But this is a discussion for another place and another time... [/QUOTE]
