The AFL Commission will now rule on Jobe Watsons Brownlow Medal after he and 33 other Essendon players failed to have their doping bans overturned.The Swiss Federal Tribunal has ruled against the current and past Bombers players.Their appeal to the tribunal was the last legal step available to them.They were challenging the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling in January that went against the players.It meant 17 players, including 12 at Essendon, were banned from playing this season.With the appeal over, the AFL commission can now go ahead with its landmark hearing that decides whether Watson keeps his 2012 Brownlow Medal.The supplements regime at Essendon that led to the bans operated during the 2012 season.The AFL announced the hearing after the CAS verdict, but postponed it until the Swiss appeal verdict.The likelihood is that the commission will take the unprecedented step of stripping Watson of his Brownlow.Richmond captain Trent Cotchin and Hawthorn veteran Sam Mitchell finished joint runners-up behind Watson in the 2012 Brownlow voting.Watson was the last of the banned players to confirm he would return to playing and he is now back at Essendon.The banned players still at AFL clubs have now returned to training, with some restrictions.When he made his announcement on September 23, Watson said he was not thinking about the prospect of losing the Brownlow.If you spend your life living in that world of speculation, you miss the moment, and Ive removed myself from it and Ive just lived in moments, and that was liberating for me, he said.(The Brownlow) doesnt define me.The AFL Players Association, Essendon and the AFL were yet to comment publicly on Tuesday night about the Swiss appeal verdict.The verdict was handed down in German.Watson has been invited to speak to the commission but it wasnt immediately clear when the hearing would be held.In May, AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan admitted there was a collective feeling of dread about having to make the call on Watsons Brownlow.I think the people charged with the responsibility of making that decision will not have made a more difficult decision - not just in their time in football, but almost in their lives, he said.I dont want to over-dramatise it, but that will be as hard a decision as anyone on the commission has had to make, Im sure of it.Apart from Watsons Brownlow, another issue yet to be resolved from the long-running supplements saga is the banned players negotiations with Essendon over financial compensation.The Essendon supplements saga is the biggest scandal in AFL history.Bombers coach James Hird was suspended for a season because of it.He returned to the job, but was sacked late last season.The AFL banned Essendon from playing in the 2013 finals at the same time it suspended Hird.The doping bans meant the Bombers makeshift team finished last this season.An AFL anti-doping tribunal initially cleared the 34 players after an ASADA investigation.But WADA took the case to CAS and won, leading to the Swiss appeal.

Thats not a comment on the suspension that banished the Portland Winterhawks general manager and coach from his Western Hockey League teams bench for most of the 2012-13 season. Sachin Tendulkar has called for greater authority to be given to the third umpire to intervene and reverse incorrect decisions even when the player has not opted to refer it under the Decision Review System. He said the idea of the DRS was to ensure correct decisions were made consistently, and suggested the three umpires work together towards that end.All three umpires should work together as a team and if the third umpire spots something, he should be in a position to tell the on-field umpire, I feel this is not out or vice versa, Tendulkar was quoted as saying by Mid Day. You can overturn that decision. Its all about getting correct decisions, so you must go all the way to get it right.India had mixed fortunes with DRS in the first Test in Rajkot with Cheteshwar Pujaras dismissal in the second innings coming under the spotlight. Pujara was adjudged lbw on 18, but he didnt opt to review the decision even as replays revealed Adil Rashids delivery had pitched outside leg stump before hitting the batsmans leg. M Vijay, at the other end, also seemed to concur with the umpires decision, and didnt press Pujara to go for a review. Incidentally, Pujara was initially given out lbw for 86 in the first innings when Zafar Ansari struck him on the back leg. Pujara consulted with Vijay, who was the non-striker on that occasion as well, and referred the decision to Rod Tucker, the third umpire. Tucker overturned the decision after replays showed the ball to be going over the stumps.After the second innings, Kohli said the non-striker must stay closer to the stumps and remain more pro-active in helping his partner with DRS referrals, but Tendulkar felt the onus was on the umpires to make the right call.In spite of Pujara being not out and DRS being theere, he still ended up losing his wicket.dddddddddddd Should the third umpire have the authority to intervene and correct the decision? I feel, yes, he said. See, the batsman at the other end is thinking about his own batting. He is planning how he is going to tackle the bowler. That period [at the non-strikers end] becomes a breather for the player. He takes some time off and thinks about what he wants to do and in that fraction of a second, he can miss something.India had played in the first series with umpire reviews, against Sri Lanka in 2008, but the ongoing series against England is their first bilateral contest since then with all the components of the DRS - including ball-tracking technology - in place. Tendulkar called the BCCIs decision to trial the system a positive step, with the technology used in the DRS having improved. However, he stressed on the need to ensure uniformity in the technology used around the world.There were a few things that we did not like. We were not convinced about the technology and as I said, over a period of time, things changed, Tendulkar said, explaining Indias initial resistance to the DRS. The technology is better and there has been more and more research, more consistency in what they are trying to achieve.We did not agree to certain things because one part of the world was using snickometer. In other parts, there was hotspot. There was a match… I think a Zimbabwe versus Bangladesh Test where no one knew what was being used. The idea is to standardise things for all parts of the world. Laws in cricket must be standardised no matter which part of the world you play in.
