No / as you can see from posts above - doping helped the Cats and Pies to illegally steal 2 flags from us, but as barks correctly points out, useless Westaway was too meek and mild to do anything.

We should be on 3 flags now not 1
Just because it brought out the usual conspiracy theories, it doesn’t make it relevant to us. Unless it dates back to 1965.

And just in case you've forgotten, the Norm Smith Medallist in 2009 was treated with a substance that was subsequently banned afterwards
irrelevant as it wasnt banned at the time
can you name 10 players that were tested ( if that be the number)
I can immediately point to several population anomalies that can explain the difference - age being the first
Well, given that all players tested on that day were in the same age bracket, your red herring won't work.
And you well know that the tested players names were never published as all tested players are supposed to be confidential.

Dr Ageless has a poster of the Geelomg premiership side on his wall. Dank was also advising. Coach Bomber Thompson has since been in court on drugs charges.

As for the Pies, didn't the Unflushable Hird rationalise that "Collingwood is doing it so why shouldn't we?" Bottom line is, Collingwood in 2010-11
was playing a sustained brand of manic four-quarter football that I've never seen. Then they collapsed, surprisingly quickly.

But hey, maybe the Saints were on something too. Maybe that's why we -- and all the other clubs -- didn't really complain.

One good thing: Ratten may have been the first to note that Essendon was doing something wrong. The Blues got blown away by the Injectors and he was vocally suspicious.
