Keep out of athletes' lives

The AFL is a beacon of common sense in a world gone drug crazy.

They have defied the World Anti-doping Agency and the Liberal government payment of a million dollars, with a humane response to personal and recreational drug use.

If it were just about cleaning up the game's image, alcohol and tobacco would have been targeted as well.

Instead this "world" body and the Liberal Government are intent on invading people's personal life and trying to moralise people's right to choose what drug they want to use.

If the drug is not performance enhancing, and used sensibly, then people should be left alone, regardless of their position in society.
