Who should be banned from sport.
It might come as some suprise, but I have a family member who is somewhat experienced in the blood and blood testing field, in particular screening for drugs.
Apparently the treatment that Mortimer had done to fix his "magical hip", (unlike how the media talked it up) is actually banned by sporting bodies (including IAF), whereby it is illegal to remove, treat, and reinject a persons blood, unless in the case it is a medical emergency (for example a blood transfusion).
The reason behind the ruling is to prevent the blood being enhanced or altered in a way that may remove potential toxins/drugs from the system, and to prevent the possiblity for the blood to be combined with potentially undetectable performance enhancing drugs.
As a result Mortimer should never have played against the Eels, and moreso should be subject to the same scrutiny as Reni Maitua being a drug cheat, should the NRL have investigated the incident correctly!
