Default 'Rumours' Port Adelaide players skipping training

I don't know too much about this , maybe you crow eaters can shed some light on this.

I was listening to nightly sports program on the radio last night and they were having a chat to Jarrod Crouch on how he and the Swans were going.

Anyway , they asked his opinion on the 'rumours' going round about the Port players skipping training last Tues as the drug testers were turning up.
5AA radio in SA took a call 'off air' in a tip off that the drug testers were turning up and players were going to or did skip training.
And the anonymous caller was on the mark as the testers did turn up.

This is not intended to start a S##T fight , just curious....

Russel Ebert got told drug testers were coming, Port players and officials laughed it off. Turns out they did come. Everyone attended training.

It's so ****ing obvious that someone has heard about this and just made up a rumour with nothing to base it on. Port players aren't drug cheats, WCE will have to find their dealers elsewhere.

You can't guarantee that, and neither can anyone about their club, unless you watch every player 24/7.

And I would hardly go as far as calling WC drug cheats. A few players were using recreational drugs. This happens in every football team in the country.

Hey champ , this wasn't an attack on PA . I asked reasonably if you blokes in SA have heard any of this at all , as like I said earlier the subject was raised on a nightly sports program here in Sydney. The commentators asked Jarrod Crouch his opinion on the matter.
This has nothing to do with WC. If you think WC are the only club in the history of the AFL to be involved with this **** (drugs) then you are seriously mistaken. The name of Williams was raised.....
