Melanie Wright OAM

When your doped up athletes get beaten by clean ones, and your whole event is a flop, so you stop the clock early to make sure there is a “world record”.

She was one of the most kind, generous and positive people I’ve ever met. The world is poorer without her and my heart is broken for her children and family. If only time could be rewound. 💔

👩🏼‍⚕️looking forward to the next challenge 🙂

Maddie’s swimming lessons began in the bath soon after she was born. Splashing in the water slowly progressed to some drops of water on her face before we began conditioning her with very small cups of water. By… instagram.com/p/B23LcxIgGqT/…

What a season @brisbanelions - it’s been an absolute pleasure as a fan to watch the club get the results after all the years of effort...and those tough years make this one all the more rewarding. Soak it up lads, then set your sights high! Look out 2020! #Uncaged 🦁❤️

Oh, I haven’t been this nervous since my Olympic 100m freestyle final 😰 #AFLFinals #AFLLionsGWS #Uncaged @brisbanelions

This doesn’t account for number of tests performed. If Italy France US etc test every athlete they’re bound to find positives. While other nations who do not test often will not feature. Nonetheless, this does shock me and perhaps stereotypes do indeed need a rethink.

Congratulations girls! What an outstanding result. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
