   Eddie reacts to Carlton drama, Bathurst 1000 & Wallaby Flogging

   Abbey Gelmi joins Eddie McGuire for another massive edition of Gold Sport, as they unpack a huge weekend across Australian sport. From the drama and emotion of the Bathurst 1000 to the Wallabies’ tough night against the All Blacks and a major debate over illicit drugs in the AFL, Eddie and Abbey tackle the biggest stories making headlines around the country. The show kicks off with discussion surrounding allegations involving Carlton players following a private gathering that saw two players hospitalised. Eddie and Abbey examine the broader issue of illicit drug use in sport and society, the AFL’s responsibility in protecting both players and the competition, and whether stronger measures are required to address what has become an increasingly prominent issue. They also discuss the balance between welfare and accountability, the role elite athletes play as role models and why the latest developments could prove significant as the league prepares to introduce new illicit drug policies.
