I believe elite sportsman should be able to use any recreational drug they desire. If the drug was performance enhancing it wouldnt be called 'recreational'. scientists have proved ecstasy to be performance enhancing so therfore it should not be reffered to as a recreational drug anymore but a performance ehancing drug. Alcohol is definatley not performance enhancing, it is a depressent, since when has it been an advantage to have slow reflexes in a competitive sport? It should be acceptable to use recreational drugs aslong as they have no affect on your performance.
Elite clubs should and have every right to test their players for anything they want. the players sign a contract when they sign up with a club and therefor eagree to the clubs rules. The most common rule in every elite sporting club is 'I will not take drugs to enhance my performance and will not take drugs that will detireate my fitness'. I think it is acceptable for a club to test their players for recreational drugs because they want to get the most out of them as possible.
There should be an internal penalty handed out by the players respective clubs. Whether that be a heavy fine or a suspension it should depend on the seriousness of the case.

The topic for your post today is book vs movie.I want you to discuss your opinion as to whether books are better than the movie they are based on or visa versa. You need to respond with some examples from your own experience to back up your arguement. You should aim for 2-3 properly structured paragraphs.
I think movies are way better than books. They get straight to the point and miss out the small unnessicary details. For example all the Harry Potter movies. I have read the books as well as seen the movies. It is much easier to follow when you watch the movie and requires less effort to interprete.
On the contrary, many may say that the books are better than the movies because they look deeper into the life of the character and makes the story more meaning full. It is purely a matter of opinion to wheteher the books or the movies are better and as Harry Potter is the only example I know of I will end my post here.

Akermanis sweet or sour?
Jason Akermanis, perhaps the most infamous player to have ever played the game. The over confident player who will do anything to be in the spotlight. Although I must admit, he is very good. Former brownlow medalist and 3 time premiership player akermanis has certanly got his
Tuesdays issue of the Herald Sun put Jason Akermanis in the spotlight. Rarely beaten with speed, Akermanis is outraged and accuses his opponent of blood doping. The AFl conduts random drug tests through out every week of the year, even in the off season! Any player would be stupid to experiement with drugs of any kind.
The column he wrote displays the typical character of Jason Akermanis, kicked out of Brisbane for harrasing the coach and displaying numerous amounts of disrespect towards his team mates. Anyone knows he has perhaps the biggest head going round.
Akermanis is a crowd pleaser, however his bright joyful personality seen when he is in form can very quickly turn sour if something goes wrong. His trade mark, which is my favourite is the "handstand"in the goal square. On a win at his home ground he will go to the square and kiss the ground whils doing a handstand, again "seeking attention".
