1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning.

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,560
Speaker 2: W Satham, Well Bronson, Sherry Cronulla drug scandal. This is

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 2: the last in the league once when they're trying to

4
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 2: do their mission impossible, Apollo mission, whatever it is to

5
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 2: get the league back up.

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: And running again.

7
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 3: Well.

8
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,520
Speaker 4: Jim Dolan joins us Hey, Jim so He Bronson was

9
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 4: tested in November. This is a test that was taken

10
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:23,079
Speaker 4: in November.

11
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 1: Yes, so he had a shoulder.

12
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 4: Surgery in October. Yes, he's tested positive in November or

13
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 4: from a taken in November to steroids that would help

14
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 4: him recover from his surgery, presumably. And this was the

15
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 4: off season.

16
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 3: Yes, it's certainly the off season and a start test

17
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 3: all year round. The off season, a lot of players

18
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: get away. They're quite often tested for party drugs at

19
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 3: that time. But it is also a time where you

20
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:51,279
Speaker 3: could if you chose naively to try and build yourself up,

21
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 3: you could do that, or you could try and do

22
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 3: it to recover from injury. So they have tested him,

23
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: he would not be the only one. And it has

24
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: taken until now to do that. A lot of people

25
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 3: up in arms. That has taken so long, But that

26
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 3: could be for a couple of reasons. The NRAL integrity

27
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: in it very interested that his phone was also confiscated.

28
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 3: That means that they may be one looking to see

29
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: who he could have got drugs from. If is bcmple

30
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 3: does test positive and too if anyone else is involved.

31
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: You'd imagine it to be a bit of a first

32
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 2: class dial to do it intentionally.

33
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 3: But you never know what drives some people to succeed,

34
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 3: and it's just ironic the way things happen. I remember

35
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: the West Tigers, a couple of guys got rubbed out

36
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 3: for taking cocaine back in two thousand and one, and

37
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,319
Speaker 3: that was the day after the media guy came out

38
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:36,639
Speaker 3: and one of the players who tested positive got banned

39
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 3: in his media guy that had watch your Ambition and

40
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,640
Speaker 3: he said, oh, to party like it's nineteen ninety nine

41
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 3: with all of my mates, and then the next day

42
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,520
Speaker 3: test positive for cocaine. And then this week we see

43
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 3: Bronson Sherry talking about how he's so much faster than

44
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 3: he was before, purely be from all the hard work

45
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 3: he's done in the off season.

46
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: But people will put to and two together with that

47
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 1: just bad timing.

48
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 4: Well, the fact he had surgery and then had this

49
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 4: to help speed up his recovery. That's still a stupid

50
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 4: thing to do.

51
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: If he'd done it, Yes, it absolutely is.

52
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 3: But that can lead to the other way that this

53
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 3: may be an error because we won't know until the

54
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 3: B sample is tested. It's the same from the same

55
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 3: blood test, and they put it in two containers in

56
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 3: case one it's contaminated, knocked over, et cetera. So the

57
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 3: second one gets tested. If it comes back negative, he's cleared.

58
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 3: If it's positive, he will then be suspended for four

59
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 3: years unless he can prove that he didn't take it

60
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 3: or get the things suspend reduced. But while you're saying

61
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 3: it probably could help you recover from that, Amanda, but

62
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 3: then he could also if he's unlucky slash lucky, he

63
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 3: may have been prescribed the wrong medication in his recovery,

64
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 3: or his doctor may not have listed what he was

65
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: taking to overcome his injury, if there was any complications,

66
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 3: so that we could go down that path.

67
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 2: Because you can't take a steroid to heal up a

68
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 2: shoulder injury. You're allowed to, absolutely, you're allowed to do that.

69
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 3: You wouldn't be allowed to obviously, he couldn't compete during

70
00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 3: the time until it's out.

71
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: That's to me seems fair enough.

72
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, because he wasn't competing in November.

73
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: No, he wasn't. But you can also build yourself up.

74
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 3: So these are things that will be discovered after the

75
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 3: b sample. He has the option of pleading guilty or

76
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 3: accepting it then or going to AH.

77
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: Do they still inject them with quartzone on the field?

78
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 2: Not on the field, But I remember Fatty Foyd and

79
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: saying when he was playing his shoulder would be almost

80
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: falling off and that you run off the field and

81
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 2: Gus and say, and they'd give him, give him quarters.

82
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 4: Guess it's always been arbitrary as to what's been legal

83
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 4: and illegal, but they are very schooled in which ones

84
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 4: which aren't they.

85
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, And ultimately it always they say, you are ultimately

86
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 3: responsible for what goes into your body. If he has

87
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 3: been given something by mistake by a doctor, that would

88
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 3: be severely hard luck. There is precedent of that before

89
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 3: Ben Tune, who played for the Wallabies. He was given

90
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 3: an injection for a knee infection some years ago.

91
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: He missed four matches. Then when his.

92
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: Doctor discovered he'd made a mistake and actually injected him

93
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 3: with something that was also a masking agent, so he

94
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: could have been deemed to have taken steroids that he

95
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 3: missed a couple of matches for that. So there is

96
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 3: a precedent where doctors don't read the labels promptly because

97
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: he's such a great player, though at nineteen he's got

98
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: his whole life ahead of him.

99
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: And you know, that's one of those things you look

100
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 2: at the front page. Hey Bronson, you had to be

101
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: on the front page of the paper.

102
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: I can't tell you what it's going to be good

103
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: or bad? Which one would you choose?

104
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 3: I had someone just text me before saying they're very

105
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 3: disappointed that there's no headline anywhere.

106
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: What are the sharks will be caught in the net?

107
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: I kind of like cherry bomb.

108
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 2: Well, Jim, thank you, sorry about that.

109
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: Joins the and Amanda in the Morning One at one

110
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: point seven, t
