And outside of Track and Field the football codes are the biggest dopers, recreational or otherwise. As I mentioned on the John's post, it's a sign of something else going on, that's why it's valid in a journalistic sense.

As one who had used a rehab service said, he was told it was private and they would be protected. That's what rehab is for - to get better! Patient-client confidentiality should be something that television stations undertake to protect. I am absolutely with the players here.

They bought what they must have or should have if they had have a brain known were dodgily (perhaps criminally) acquired private medical records and broadcast the info within them. <i>Private medical records.</i> Which fell into the lap of the reporters, not even the fruits of hard hitting investigative journalism. You don't go around trading in medical records and then claim the moral high ground. On the contrary, I think there is legitimate reason for the players to stand their ground against Seven.

Private medical records.
