Flyer, I think you should digest a few facts before continuing on with this tirade against the AIS. The AIS is a government instrumentality funded by taxpayers. It has public accountability through the parliament. The minister in charge of that portfolio has ministerial responsibility to ensure the public purse is not at risk. If the minister is seen to mishandle or be negligent in that responsibility the Westminster system of government demands a resignation. There are checks and balances within the system to ensure the AIS is not party to any doping. The AIS has been in operation since the late 70's and has an untarnished record in relation to athlete doping. If an athlete in Australia is doping, it is certainly without the knowledge and support, tacit or otherwise, of the AIS. In contrast, USOC apparently had no public accountability for decades and evidence exists of coverups and doping encouragement. You refer to the French's AIS dormitory as if it was part of the main AIS complex where all athletes reside and the AIS should have been cognizant of the events occurring under its roof. NO. This was a small residential building (ex local pub I believe) for the cyclists high performance track unit in Adelaide located close to the Adelaide velodrome 100's of kms away from Canberra. Mark French was legally unrepresented at his hearing. If he was represented he would have got off scot free. He admitted to administering a drug which was on the banned list at the time but had since been removed, like caffeine. He swung for this offence. Any legal representative would have discouraged this admission.

Re: Australian Cycling probe
You are inferring that the AIS knowingly prepares doped athletes. Show us your evidence.
If there was even a whiff of suspicion that the AIS was involved in such a practices it would have been closed down. You made a comment that the AIS nearly foldered (sic) over the French affair. Show us your evidence. It is publicly accountable not like Festina, Phonak, Cofidis et al. The facility in Adelaide is for cyclists only and, I understand, the rooms are only cleaned by the housekeeper after they are vacated. I support your view that most athletes to be competitive must resort to illegal drugs. However, the evidence clearly shows that the AIS plays no part in assisting the preparation of athletes through illegal drugs and methods. That is a personal (and usually secret decision) of the athletes.

Jobie Dajka does not hold an AIS scholarship nor is financially assisted by the AIS. His funding was withdrawn in 2004 over his dishonesty to the French enquiry which also included his sacking from the Olympics. He is a South Australian resident and has only local (South Australia) State support. His State facility, the Adelaide Super-drome sports complex, is where the AIS high performance track squad train and the AIS and State share facilities. He was told he may be looking at a four year ban from cycling over this incident of alleged assault and has reacted accordingly in a bitter manner. Dajka will have his day in Court where he has every opportunity to plead his case and produce evidence. His track record of having been caught lying under oath will not be helpful for him.

Keep your shirt on, Flyer. It has been alleged that Jobie Dajka assaulted the head AIS High Performance Cycling coach, Martin Barass. Dajka is no longer associated with the AIS (since 2004). There will be a local CAS enquiry resulting from this allegation. Not a doping enquiry. Dajka has been informed he may be looking at a 4 year ban if the allegations are proven. Suppose you will call it 'roid rage
