Completely agree, Gallen is desperately deflecting away from the real story here. The fact is a tailored for NRL cocktail of PED’s was detected in a sample taken from Xerri, that’s the only thing that matters. It’s not one PED that he could have accidentally taken, it’s a near perfect mix of multiple PED’s if one was designing it for an NRL player. Noting that the B sample still has to be tested if Xerri demands it. This is a long way from Peptides consumption, like comparing a Mini to a Mac track.Well if his B sample comes back positive and tarnishes the NRL, my question to Gallen would be who out of Xerri and ASADA has caused more damage to the game?
Gallen is just deflecting where the real problem is and that is purely on Xerri for cheating his way to be an elite athlete. Or maybe the sharks for having a culture of drug cheats in the past.
I also find the November test failure interesting, it’s also amazingly good timing. Take the drugs in the off season to build up for the serious training. Then get off them before the season starts so if you do get tested you’ll be clean. That’s no accident either, it’s text book drug cheating.
As for the testing time taken, being 6 months, does it really matter? It commonly takes 2 to 3 months for a sample to get to the head of the queue and maybe the drug testing labs were a bit busy with some virus for the last 3 months. Who cares, as long as it’s a valid and accurate test, it takes as long as it takes, just catch the cheats that’s what’s important.
