Australian sport is currently reeling from the shock revelations by the Australian Crime Commission that they believe performance-enhancing drug taking is widespread in Australia's major sporting codes - although this report is now starting to be criticised as making all sportspeople look bad whilst not actually naming any names or clubs.

A humorous twist to this is that the story has been picked up by a Danish media outlet which is using a photo of an Australian football player with the story - however rather than be an AFL player they've used a picture of Irish international John "Dingo" Enright, a member of the Warriors' victorious 2011 International Cup team.  You can imagine the shock for Enright to suddenly be the one man chosen to "represent" Australian football, but with the accompanying doping issues the story reports on.  Probably not the kind of fame he anticipated when first taking up the sport.
