Greater Western Sydney players are rallying around Lachie Whitfield, with the AFL investigating claims he tried to avoid drug testers.Steve Johnson and Stephen Coniglio say its been business as usual for the former No.1 draft pick this week despite the scandal entering the public domain.Whitfield and two former GWS staffers face multi-year bans if it is proved they conspired to evade or were complicit in seeking to evade a drug test.The leagues investigation started last August but was first reported on Monday - far from ideal timing for the Giants as they prepare for a maiden finals campaign.Lachie is going well, hes been training throughout the week, Johnson told reporters on Wednesday.From a players point of view, our role is to support him and make sure hes going alright.He is a valuable member of our playing group and hell be playing next Saturday night against the Swans.Coniglio was confident Whitfield would be ready for the all-important Sydney derby at ANZ Stadium.The main concern for us is how is he coping and as long as hes going alright, the rest of the stuff is out of our hands and uncontrollable, Coniglio said.Once the league formally finalises its probe it will hand over all evidence to ASADA, which will make a ruling.When the case will become the domain of ASADA is unclear.The way our process works, I didnt have any visibility with it. I was briefed yesterday and its now known the guys will finish that in the coming days, AFL boss Gillon McLachlan said.These things take (as long as) what they take. They work methodically through it and they dont rush to reach to an outcome.The report and investigation and what theyve compiled will be handed over to ASADA for them to make a decision and I cant really say more than that.McLachlan noted it had been an incredibly detailed, forensic investigation. <a href="http://www.arsenalsoccerproshop.com/Authentic-Granit-Xhaka-Arsenal-Jersey/">Granit Xhaka Jersey</a>. -- Anaheim Ducks defenceman Luca Sbisa will be out at least six weeks with a torn tendon in his right hand. <a href="http://www.arsenalsoccerproshop.com/Authentic-Granit-Xhaka-Arsenal-Jersey/">Granit Xhaka Arsenal Jersey</a>. -- Chicago Bears cornerback Tim Jennings was selected Monday to his second straight Pro Bowl, while guard Kyle Long made it after a solid rookie season. <a href="http://www.arsenalsoccerproshop.com/Authentic-Lucas-Torreira-Arsenal-Jersey/">http://www.arsenalsoccerproshop.com/Authentic-Lucas-Torreira-Arsenal-Jersey/</a>. Paul Pierce couldnt believe he missed at the end.

PAUL, Minn.England wing Jack Nowell says he is keen to step up his fitness levels under new head coach Eddie Jones. Although Jones believes the condition of his squad is adequate for the Six Nations, but must improve for next summers tour of his native Australia.The Exeter player has added 10kg in weight in recent years, but the move from 85kg to 95kg was added muscle bulk and followed knee surgery. I was training like old man, said Nowell, who missed the 2014 tour to New Zealand as a result of the operation.Im a completely different player now. Im bigger now. Anything can happen if get hands on the ball. (And I am) more confident in defence now.Jones vision of an England playing free-flowing rugby and keeping the ball in play may be at odds with his first match - a 15-9 win over Scotland in Edinburgh last Saturday - but suits Nowell, one of two England try-scorers at Murrayfield.And Italy could be the first to feel the impact of Jones tinkering. Nowell and head coach Eddie Jones pose with the Calcutta Cup following their victory against Scotland I like the sound of that because I like to come off my wing and get my hands on the ball as much as possible, Nowell added.I want to get my hands on the ball as much as possiblee and if I am absolutely knackered I wont be able to do that.dddddddddddd.We have worked hard on our breakdown this week and getting that speed of ball.However, Nowell also accepts the pragmatic approach favoured by Jones in Edinburgh last weekend.First things first is to win the game, Nowell said.If you said to me we scored four tries off a driving maul and I touched the ball once and we won the game, Id take that any day of the week. England head coach Eddie Jones keeps an eye on his players A hint of the future was evident in Edinburgh when replacement prop Mako Vunipolas deft handling made space for Nowells try.Makos got a lot of skills, Nowell said. Some of the passes he does in training are pretty ridiculous. It wasnt a surprise. Hes a very skilful player.If we can get all our forwards doing that, thats going to put us backs in very positive positions going forward.The England team announcement will be on Friday at 10am, tune into Sky Sports News HQ for full coverage.
