Message: [QUOTE="subsbligh, post: 2469667, member: 1950"] The problem seems to be the auditing and monitoring of player medical treatment. The clubs should be charged with keeping strict medical records for all their players noting medication taken, treatment received and any experimental remedies or supplements being provided to players. It should be vigourously audited by the NRL every year (like the salary cap) with strict liability for any breach. Are these quacks/"sports scientists" registered medical practitioners? What professional body do they report to? The NRL and each of the clubs probably have a duty of care to their players not to be dosing them up with fucking calf blood and untested growth hormones. To anyone but a chemist the list of banned substances (the ins and outs) is so fucking complex and difficult and vague to understand, you can't expect professional footy players (or young impressionable kids) to be able to educate themselves about it. They are in the hands of the medical staff. You trust the advice of your team doctor. Much like you trust the word of your CEO when he tells you your third party side deals are under the cap, but that's an argument for another day. [/QUOTE]
