Daisy Pierce has been 15 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,519 Speaker 2: recognized for her commentary expertise, The WBBL is moving to 16 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 2: Tazzy and Nicola McDermot caps off an amazing athletic season. 17 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: For our key story, we'll discuss SHANEA Jack's return to 18 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 1: the pool after a lengthy court battle over a positive 19 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: drug test. But first let's take a look around the grounds. 20 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:08,479 Speaker 1: In footy, the AFL Grand Final will be played in 21 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: Perth this weekend, and history has already been made before 22 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: a ball has been bounced. For the first time ever, 23 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,839 Speaker 1: both footy clubs fighting for the flag have female presidents. 24 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: The Melbourne Demons appointed longtime board member Kate Roffey to 25 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: the role in April, while Kylie Watson Wheeler was unanimously 26 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: voted to the top job at Welston Bulldogs. At the 27 00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: end of the twenty twenty season. The victor will be 28 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: the second female president to secure flag, joining Richmond's Peggy O'Neil. 29 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: The Bulldogs are also one of only two clubs along 30 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: with Richmond, that have achieved parody at board level, with 31 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: fifty percent of the board being female. Watson Wheeler spoke 32 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: about the board makeup, stating all of them have been 33 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 1: appointed on their merit, expertise and experience. We're certainly seeing 34 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: an authentic shift in that space. Still on AFL, the 35 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one Australian Football Media Association Awards took place 36 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,559 Speaker 1: and day Piers has taken out the award for Best 37 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 1: Opinion and Analysis. I think this is an amazing recognition 38 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,840 Speaker 1: of the work that Daisy's doing. Still a current player 39 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: in the AFLW but does an exceptional job commentating the 40 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: men's game, and she's very widely recognized for her ability 41 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: to analyze and pick apart the game and make some 42 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,839 Speaker 1: really effective special comments. 43 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 2: In surfing, the WSL finals were held at Lower Tressel's 44 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,800 Speaker 2: last week, with Aussie surfers Steph Gilmore and Sally Fitzgibbons 45 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 2: looking to finish the year on top. Gilmore was in 46 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 2: the first heat of the day and the challenging conditions 47 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: saw Steph and France's Johannes de Fay surf some heavy waves. Unfortunately, 48 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 2: Gilmore struggled to find any rhythm and her quest for 49 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 2: a record breaking eighth world title was over before it 50 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: picked up any momentum. De Fay progressed to the next round, 51 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 2: where she met Sally Fitzgibbons. Sally successfully bagged a few 52 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: solid scores and left to Fe needing a score late 53 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 2: in the heat to beat her. The ocean didn't deliver 54 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 2: and sal was through to face world number two Tatiana 55 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 2: Western Web. Givens took control early on, but unfortunately West 56 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 2: and Web was just too strong and ended up winning 57 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: that heat headed into the final against Charissa wore Chrissa 58 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 2: went on to secure her fifth world title in cricket. 59 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,839 Speaker 1: The seventh season of the Women's Big Bash was meant 60 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: to start on October fourteenth at the North Sydney Oval. However, 61 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: due to current COVID nineteen lockdown restrictions, it's going to 62 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: be temporarily relocated to Tasmania. Similar to the change to 63 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: the Sydney Hub for the beginning of WBBLO six, the 64 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: Women's Big Bash League has been able to once again 65 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: rescue their season debut. I think a great example of 66 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: cricket ensuring that the women's game is not put to 67 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: the side and delayed and putting in every effort to 68 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 1: make sure that it still goes ahead as planned. The 69 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: announcement was made this week, just under a month from 70 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 1: the start date, that all eight teams will arrive for 71 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: the October fourteenth season kickoff. Teams from Melbourne, Sydney and 72 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 1: Canberra will have to arrive in advance to quarantine for 73 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 1: a fortnight. With this change, it means that the first 74 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: twenty of the total fifty nine matches scheduled for WBBLO 75 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: seven should take place in Tazi. Of the fifty nine encounters, 76 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: forty seven games will be televised. Twenty three of those 77 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: will be on Foxtel and KO Sports, while twenty four 78 00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: will be available free to air on seven and simulcasts 79 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,840 Speaker 1: on Foxtel. What do we love milling? 80 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,679 Speaker 2: We love freed air? Yes do Onto Athletics. The season 81 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 2: has come to a close and Nicola mcdonod has taken 82 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 2: silver at the Diamond League event in Berlin to cap 83 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 2: off a brilliant year. Her performances over the last twelve 84 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 2: months have been nothing short of incredible. Here are some 85 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,679 Speaker 2: numbers for you, because you know we love our numbers, 86 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 2: we love stats. So she competed in fourteen competitions this year, 87 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,799 Speaker 2: set three Australian records, won an Olympic silver medal in Tokyo. 88 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 2: She jumped over two meters in five comps throughout the season, 89 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 2: and she's had twenty three consecutive podiums across the twenty 90 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 2: twenty and twenty twenty one one season. Twenty three consecutive podiums. 91 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: That is huge. 92 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: There's some real consistency right there. 93 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: Awesome to see it and I can't wait to see 94 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 2: what twenty twenty two brings her. 95 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: How is twenty twenty two soon? 96 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: Because it scares me, like I don't like that. 97 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the key story. 98 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 2: On June twenty sixth, twenty nineteen, the then nineteen year 99 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 2: old swimmer Shana Jack was issued a four year ban 100 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 2: after testing positive to the banned anabolic agent legandrol and 101 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: an Australian team training camp just a few weeks out 102 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: from the twenty nineteen World Championships. Not only was her 103 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 2: reputation scave, but she was stripped of all her funding, 104 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 2: banned from training with her teammates, and ineligible for the 105 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: Tokyo Olympics. Just over two years later, she has been 106 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 2: cleared to return to swimming. 107 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 1: After the initial four year ban, Shanea spent more than 108 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:52,080 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars fighting to clear her name and 109 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: had to publicly appeal through a crowdfunding campaign to cover 110 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: her costs, raising over fifty thousand dollars. Shana denied knowing 111 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: taking the band's substance, saying she had no idea how 112 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: it got into her system. The arbitrator who heard her 113 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: initial appeal agreed with her version of events that it 114 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,039 Speaker 1: was an innocent mistake, after the levels found in her 115 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 1: samples were so low as to be pharmaceutically irrelevant. In 116 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: twenty twenty she won the appeal to harve her suspension 117 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: to two years. 118 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 2: Sport Integrity Australia, the SIA, and the World Antidoping Agency 119 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 2: WADA both appealed against that reduction, arguing that the band 120 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 2: should remain at four years. However, just days ago, the 121 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 2: Court of Arbitration for Sport have announced that these appeals 122 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 2: have been dismissed. They yet to formally release as full 123 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 2: judgment for dismissing the appeal, but made a brief statement 124 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 2: and was also announced on Shane's social media channels. 125 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: Shana's lawyer Tim Fuller said Shane's efforts to prove her 126 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,479 Speaker 1: innocence under strict regulations could set a precedent. I do 127 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 1: think when somebody goes to the extent that Shana went 128 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: to to try and show what may have happened, that 129 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: will be significant in future cases. Mister Fuller said there 130 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,839 Speaker 1: needs to be some sort of flexibility and discretion shown 131 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,920 Speaker 1: for people like shanea Jack when they're caught up in 132 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: a system beyond their control and when there's no evidence 133 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 1: at all that this person has been involved in doping 134 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: abandoned the case. He argued. 135 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 2: Shane has continued training remotely throughout the process. By the 136 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: verdict means she can now return to her squad at 137 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 2: Saint Peter's Western in Brisbane, alongside gold medalist arian Tiitmas 138 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 2: and under coach Dean Boxel. Her lawyer Tim Fuller said 139 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 2: her goals include qualifying for the upcoming World Championships and 140 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 2: Commonwealth Games in Birmingham next year. 141 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: Let's take a look at what to watch. 142 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 2: In soccer this week. The Matilda's play a friendly against 143 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 2: the Republic of Ireland on September twenty second.
