Message: [QUOTE="lynx000, post: 2899242, member: 2065"] I have to say I agree with Nashy, if that was the decision of the tribunal, it was simply wrong. I would run his case every day of the week and twice on Sunday and I would take it to every level of appeal open to me with the evidence he had available to him. That decision was morally and legally wrong. What you are implying is that it is a strict liability system, that is, if you have the stuff in your system and it is picked up in a test you are gone. Even in strict liability scenario the prosecution would have to prove a guilty mind (mens rea), and Maafu did not have it. If this defence is good enough for someone facing possession of heroin charges (and a life sentence) to get off, it should be good enough for a sports tribunal (see He Kawh Teh v The Queen).
