Essendon Football Club would like to make the following statement in response to an article in The Australian newspaper today which referenced ASADA’s investigation of the club.

Due to the ongoing nature of the ASADA investigation the club will not be making any further comment

Who knows they might be right and the article may be just BS

they are right. The english language is a peculiar thing, but people should take more heed of what is actually written than what they thing is being said.

"The club understands that there is no factual basis to the story in relation to the issuing of infraction notices at this point in time"

Until ASADA officially informs the club, that statement is 100% correct.

ASADA ready with lifetime sport bans

THE Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority is preparing a slew of infraction notices against Essendon players and club officials that could result in lifetime bans from all sport. Essendon coach James Hird, people and development manager Danny Corcoran, former high-performance manager Dean Robinson and sports scientist Stephen Dank, as well as players involved in the injecting scene, are all in ASADA's sights.

However, club doctor Bruce Reid, who raised questions about the supplements program, is likely to avoid an infraction notice, sources have indicated to The Australian.

Details of ASADA's continued pursuit of Essendon emerged as the AFL yesterday withdrew serious allegations against Dr Reid of bringing the game into disrepute .The development validated a report in The Australian last week that the AFL commission would not proceed with charges against the doctor. -

Hahaha where the AFL didn't go hard enough ASADA will.

There goes that very little chance they could trade for early picks.

Couldn't happen to a more better group of malakes.

Sandor Earl, the NRL player who received an infraction notice for use and distribution of CJC1295 has opened up and said Stephen Dank told him that he had used this banned substance at other sporting clubs.

Bombers call for donations

As it deals with being in debt for the first time in its history, Essendon has been forced to seek added financial help from supporters through its membership program to help fund its new training facility.

Bombers chairman Paul Little has written to members this week, declaring the club wanted to get back in the black as soon as possible.

It’s understood the Bombers have debts of more than $7million, with $5million linked to the new training facility at Tullamarine. The balance is related to fines and legal fees from the supplements scandal, although Little stressed member donations would not be used to recoup those costs.

‘‘The club has always expected to go into debt as a result of the investment into the project and that is indeed where we now find ourselves for the first time in our history,’’ Little said.

‘‘I want to make one final thing clear – this donation will go towards our new facility only. We will not be asking our members to put any money towards the fine we recently received from the AFL. If you choose to donate towards our new facility, it will be an investment towards the future of our club.’’

Thousands of members have already contributed in recent years to the project, but that donations are now being linked to membership renewals highlights the club’s tough financial predicament.

He paused before continuing.
"But the funds that were otherwise to cater to the development of the new Facility", were unfortunately diverted to invest in both our legal fees thus far incurred as a result of our involvement in illegal drug investigations and paying our debts to our suppliers"

In closing he said, "if you believe our story so far, you'll pay anything"
