Should the AFL change its DRUGS POLICY to a zero tolerance policy?

Question

what are the advantages and disadvantages of the 3 strikes policy, and should the afl change its policy

if possible can u give detailed answers and everything will be very much appreciated

Answer 1

I think that is a great idea in theory but for example Ben Cousins was tested 14 times and never returned a positive test.

He himself admitted he had a problem and probably would still be playing if he hadn't and we wouldn't have been any of the wiser.

So there must be a way to slip under the drug radar because if he can do so can all the other players.

Answer 2

Of course it should be zero tolerance.

I can't explain the 3 strikes policy because I don't understand it.

The AFL should make this it's number 1 aim.

Maybe if they spent the money on this rather than on 2 new interstate clubs we would have a lot more resources for better testing methods, because obviously the techniques they have been using haven't worked so far! ie; Ben Cousins.

Answer 3

yeah i think they should

Answer 4

Its sad that we even have to ask this question - there should be zero tolerance policy in all sports.

It would be helpful if the AFL twits at least let us know how effective the three strike policy has been.  They dont have to name names, but provide stats!

Answer 5

yes  ZERO tolerance in all sports...

Answer 6

Yes I agree, they should submit HAIR SAMPLES

Answer 7

Yes. should be zero tolerance.

Ban them for 2 to 3 years.

After watching the first few idiots ruin their careers, the others might catch on........

Answer 8

yes I believe they should have a zero tolerance on drugs.

the three strikes and you are out policy,allows them to reoffend and get away with it.

they are not good role models for the young of today.

drugs are a prohibited substance and they should be severely punished the first time to avoid a second or third time.
