Support for 3 strikes policy

Post: # 453909Post Richter »

Just to take your mind off some of the other football news - apparently there's some sort of board challenge going on at a Bayside AFL club? :wink:

Here's comes strong support for the AFL's 3 strikes policy.....

http://realfooty.com.au/news/news/exper ... 32336.html

Excerpts.......

"Twenty-one addiction, law enforcement and medical experts write that the AFL's policy is "probably as effective as can be achieved" in an era where young people are regularly exposed to illicit drugs and substance abuse. "We believe that the AFL has been a leader in responding to illicit drugs," the open letter says."

---------------------

"Any policy related to illicit drugs and sport should make player welfare its paramount objective," he [Nick Crofts, director of the Turning Point Drug and Alcohol Agency] said. "So we're calling on those who are using the policy for political ends to back off, leave the AFL alone. Essentially, we think they have got it right."

The AFL said yesterday it would not back away from its three strikes policy, which was deliberately developed to reflect the best medical practice.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any chance of a retraction from any of you ignoramuses who have been bashing the AFL on this?

For the first time in a long while we can actually say WELL DONE ANDY D. :wink:

Does it apply to board members, or are they not tested.
