You should be embarrassed as a club. You go on about doing a robust investigation. You haven’t drug tested the players. They claimed they can’t remember what they take or didn’t take despite the fact there’s video evidence. “This is a farce. You’re playing us all for fools Justin, and what are you going to do about it? There’s clear vision that they have taken something. Have you asked the players that? Are they going to admit to anything?” [B]Rodski:[/B][/SIZE] “Have you not listened to anything I’ve been saying? This is not a farce at all,” Rodski hit back. “This is a serious, serious situation that the club is dealing with, and has imposed significant sanctions on each of the players. The actions involved are serious and significant. “Have you not listened to anything I’ve been saying? Have you though? I’m not sure you have. Have you really been listening to what I’ve been saying? I’m not sure you have mate.” [B]Badel:[/B] “In your eyes, what was the stuff on the table? What was it: sugar, candy? I’m asking you, what was it?” [B]Rodski:[/B] “I don’t know what it was.” [B]Badel:[/B] “How can you not know if you’re doing a robust investigation? As the CEO how can you not know?” [B]Rodski:[/B] “Because I wasn’t in the room,” the Storm boss replied. He continued, “Just so you know, the club is not permitted to drug test the players. Drug testing is done by the NRL, that is part of the players’ CBA in association with the RLPA. “So to say the club’s response to this is an embarrassment is a really poor reflection on you and that you haven’t been listening to what we’ve been talking about today.” “It’s not spin,” [CENTER][/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
