I agree with you (and disagree with LA's alter ego (Eevo)), except for the above...

A mate of mine with a PhD in Chem reckons there are only three sciences, Physics, Chem and Mathematics, all the rest is voodoo.

Mind you we are polar opposites in the climate change debate and have had some pretty intense arguments, particularly when I tell him he is disregarding logic, evidence and science by denying man has or is causing any changes to the earth and its climate :angel:

Claimed, and according to witnesses the saddle sore cream excuse is bollocks.

As I said above, anything like that has to have pre-approval, and these blokes know the rules.

when you call in sick for work, do you go the dr for a med cert first or after you call in?

It doesn't work like that and they know it, it isn't 'normal' life.
If it's listed, it can't be used. Full stop, end of story. You then get approval, and it's all monitored and under supervision.

Anyone else in another sport would have been instantly suspended.

Maybe some contributors need to re-read this thread. The post dating was for a script - not a medical certificate.

And really, many of the persons contributing to this thread have degrees in Science.....it's not like any individual represents the lone voice of reason in this regard.

I better stop then, I'm just a dumb tradie.
I couldn't possibly recognise reason, logic or weight of evidence, even if it may be based on witness accounts and circumstantial evidence...

Does not work like that in sporting teams I've been on at international level.

If your a member of team and you need to see a Dr. the team manager accompanies you. You don't get to the Dr without management being with you. Management brings their list of prohibited substance for the Dr to consult prior to proscribing.

You don't like that, that's OK, you don't have to agree but you also don't compete either.
