Re Ben Cousins: The media seemed to enjoy a photo of a young man with his shirt off as a kind of repetitive soft pornography. He has never been found guilty of a crime. Amphetamines are performance enhancing the day they are taken: the next, you’re cactus

Hang on, how about running away from a booze bus?
He may not have been pinged under the drugs policy but surely it was about time someone pulled him up.

Well argued piece. Cousins was never going to get a fair go, and the AFL’s cave in to tabloid bolstered, out of touch do-gooders is predictable. I wonder how many AFL supporters would sign a ‘Let Ben Play’ petition.

True, Cousins has not been tested. What an appalling thing for the AFL and the WA police to admit. Cousins has admitted drug use however. Amphetamines ARE a performance enhancing drug and he should have been tested and banned for 12 mths last year.
