Official Bulldogs sign Bronson Xerri for 2024 season on two-year deal despite doping ban

Xerri ripe for return
Bronson Xerri is taking steps towards his comeback from a four-year drug ban, most significantly undergoing drug tests to prove he is no longer using the performance-enhancing substances that got him banned.

Aloiai living in a fantasy world, says Roberts

Sporting trailblazer Ian Roberts is incensed at the Manly star’s insistence that he won’t wear the pride jumper or play in a pride round next season.

Xerri is being tested once a month off his own bat. He knows what has been said about him since he admitted to using banned drugs in an interview with me soon after his positive test. He owned his poor judgment and is keen to make it back to the top of the game. Being tested every month will make him more attractive to clubs and shut down any innuendo surrounding his return.

The Bulldogs are looming as a genuine option for Xerri. Canterbury general manager Phil Gould knows Xerri through his son coming up at the same time in the Sharks juniors. He can sign with a club in November.

So we can sign him Nov 1 but he cant actually play for us until 2024 ?

I doubt we will sign him to a top 30 contract for 2023 if he can't play until 2024. I dare say it will be train and trial,to see if he can recapture his form from a few years ago,without the performance enhancers.
Are we signing Dom Young or is that wishful thinking?

I honestly don't know yet my bro. He might be heavy duty, he might be a dud.

I wonder how he has been keeping fit and or if he has been playing some sort of sport.

With how big he got he would’ve lost a tonne of speed, which is literally what made him good

fabri reckons he can get him back into shape.
body change can take a while, took holmes a year after his NFL stint and Hayne never hit the heights after this body change for NFL also.
worth a punt if on basic money and incentives

anybody know when he can return to training? I'm pretty sure he can return to training with a squad significantly before he can play with that squad.

Not sure why anyone would wish for him in the first place.

 

[D0GMATIC]

I realise that. In fact that's why I said it in an earlier post

Me either,off the top of my head, I can't of 1 athlete who came back after a four year ban for performance enhancers, that ever reached or surpassed the level they were at when they were caught cheating.
Lol ,Just realised you were talking about Young. He is fast, and a decent finisher

yeh im not sure, but id assume as he is permanently banned for 23 he cant train with a team, that makes sense.
