Gooooooooooooodbye. That's at least a two-year ban.

It might well be, in two years when we find out.

The Essendon druggies will get away with it cos they didnt test positive. These two who needed to meet a skin fold test wont!

Surely Eddie will blame this on the Swans somehow???

I think it's up to 2 year ban rather than at least 2 years...I could be wrong though
either way, their careers are over

Could be 4 years, AFL adopted the new WADA code on Jan 1, players tested positive in Feb so the new longer ban would take effect.
Also with 2 players done it could mean team sanctions.

Both players are denying they knowingly took it.

Means nothing. Saad didnt know he was ingesting a banned substance.

Because they don't do hair follicle testing, which would determince accidental dosing or systematic dosing, then the outcome of Clenbuterol cases is determined by your ability to argue that the positive test was a result of contamination. I don't think there's been many, if any, successful arguments over the years though.

There was that one case in Mexico. lol

[Coach Bombay]

So what happens if they are innocent and the b sample proves this? Can the club make any sort of claim for being ineligible to play to players, and what about the players can they put in a claim for loss of income and they won't be gaining match payments?

[Jim05]

There was that one case in Mexico. lol

Over 100 cases wasnt it?
Pretty sure in the u17 Soccer World Cup in Mexico there was over 100 players who tested positive

Rumour that there might be more positive tests to come involving players from other clubs!

Dont think these guys were deliberately cheating. More likely they popped a couple of googs that was cut with the stuff
