There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

Re: aussie sportsman in serious incident...
It is *believed* to be John McCarthy from Port Adelaide. Sickening incident. Apparently fell from a balcony.

Feel for everyone close to him.

Re: aussie sportsman in serious incident...
This is bloomin' awful! So young and still had so much life ahead of him. As a parent, all I can think of right now is how his parents must be feeling.....

Re: aussie sportsman in serious incident...
Apparently they are on a plane as we speak (or so is being reported).
Regardless, it just leaves me feeling sick inside. Young people leaving so early is just such a tragedy and such a waste regardless of whether they have a public profile or whether it is Joe Blow from 2 houses down. Just makes you take a breath and remember what is important.....

Re: aussie sportsman in serious incident...
Sad for the man, the club, the friends and family. RIP
I think it's a bit poor form to go on social media or internet and ID the victim before the parents/family have been told personally. I knew he was from Port, but I was hoping that no one here would say his name. Oh well.

Re: aussie sportsman in serious incident...
How sad.
How awful the news sites competing to be first to report the name even though not all the family had been informed as yet.
I feel for those there with him, would of been terrifying, and for his poor poor family.

Re: aussie sportsman in serious incident...
Now confirmed. What dreadful news - really puts football into perspective. The family who have to travel, team mates who are still over there, friends and the PAFC, CFC would be in a world of hurt right now.....
