They have an option on the table to basically take 6 months now and miss the last part of this year and pre-season which means they can play Rd 1 next year.

To b served In the off season ???
WTF'n hell is that about?
Basically Ox, if the Bomber players ignore the Little, Hird & co. legal circus and accept the ASADA evidence that they were given the banned TB4 peptide, then ASADA will go easier on them and give them a six month ban which can be served from now in 2014 or over the off-season/pre-season, so they can then move on after this saga and freely play in 2015.

Edit: Beat me to it TBR  :thumbsup.

Doesn't the sentence have to be served during the season

I'm sure WP or someone else said that

That's ridiculous if not true

You would hope that any ban out of season would include attending any activities as part of the club - training, team meetings etc, so it would still have a significant impact on them for 2015 (would probably screw it over to be honest).  Just giving the players a training program and game plan books wouldn't cut it as far as a pre-season prep goes so they would still be screwed.  But if it didn't include club activities.................................. :banghead

Any ban covers off season and in season times, it isn't like a tribunal suspension for a number of games.

The offer is if the players plead guilty they would be suspended for 6 months from say July 1.

Then they will be able to resume on January 1, but for that six months they can't play, train or do anything else officially.

When Warnie was suspended and preparing to return he couldn't train with any contracted player or at any officially funded venue or with any coaches or officials.

So he would have to arrange a venue himself like a school and go and have a net with people outside the system ie club cricketers or mates.

If the Essendon players copped this they miss all the games left this season and have to do their pre-season independently.

It sounds a bit Mickey Mouse but WADA enforce it strongly, they can access phone records and bank statements to check contact and who is funding training etc...
