Australia has decided to ban some Commonwealth athletes from playing for a second year as a result of a growing problem with doping in world athletics.

About 50 athletes had lef오바마카지노t the competition due to the use of “performance-enhancing drugs” over the past two years, Australian coach Tony Lynam said yesterday.

“Some of them had the drugs in their system, and some of them were doping, and we had to make a very strong decision – which was to make them all miss finals and finals,” Lynam said.

“If you’re going to be involved in the sport you have to be really honest, but we felt this was not the right thing to do.”

The Commonwealth Games in Perth was once the 바카라 게임centrepie포커ce of the sport.

“It is a tremendous opportunity for Australian athletes and is truly one of the most proud things that a country has ever accomplished,” former Australian President Ronald Reagan said in his farewell address in November 1995.
