Disgraceful findings....OZ sport a mess

Australian sport has been rocked by a bombshell report from the Crime Commission.

ILLEGAL drugs are widespread throughout Australian sport and are being facilitated by sports scientists, high-level coaches and sports staff, a 12-month investigation by the Australian Crime Commission has found.

Organised crime groups are also involved in the frequent practice which, in some cases, see players administered with substances not yet approved for human use.

The ACC also found evidence of "concerning" personal relationships between professional athletes and crime identities and groups that may have resulted in match fixing and the fraudulent manipulation of betting markets.

Justice Minister Jason Clare encouraged anyone involved to come forward "before you get a knock at the door''

"The findings are shocking and will disgust Australian sports fans,'' he said.

"It's cheating but it's worse than that.

"It's cheating with the help of criminals''

This will be on-going for weeks, with speculations and inuendo....I personally will be devastated if South's are involved in any way....I find it hard to believe Maguire would have anything to do with this, by the sounds of it, it involves coaches/doctors/chemists....it's an absolute disgrace and a very dark day for Australian sport and I feel for those that are clean that will be tagged alongside those that cheated...
