MELBOURNE has been dragged into the performance-enhancing drugs controversy that has engulfed Essendon with claims its players received injections from Stephen Dank.
..A series of texts messages between Melbourne club doctor Dan Bates and Dank, the man at the centre of the Bombers scandal, surfaced tonight.
The 7.30 Report, screened on ABC, showed the messages which outlined a supplements program orchestrated last pre-season.
Several Demon players were named in the messages.

Text messages reveal Dank involved with Demons
7.30 By Caro Meldrum-Hanna
Updated 10 minutes ago
The furore over the use of performance-enhancing supplements in football is bigger than first thought, with 7.30 revealing that the sport scientist at the centre of the Essendon scandal also had extensive dealings with the Melbourne Demons.
The AFL and the Essendon Football Club have been in damage control for the past two months since the story broke about supplements administered by controversial biochemist Steve Dank.
So far no other club has been tarnished by the scandal, but 7.30 has learned the Demons had a detailed supplements regime which it ran in close association with Dank.
In February, when the news broke about Essendon's supplements regime, the Demons quickly moved to quash rumours it had employed Dank over the summer.

Melbourne has been dragged into the drugs scandal amid claims it received injections from Steve Dank

MELBOURNE has been dragged into the performance-enhancing drugs controversy that has engulfed Essendon with claims its players received injections from Stephen Dank.
A series of texts messages spanning more than six months between Melbourne club doctor Dan Bates and Dank, the man at the centre of the Bombers scandal, surfaced tonight.
The 7.30 Report, screened on ABC, showed the messages which outlined a supplements program orchestrated last pre-season.
Several Demon players were named in the messages, including co-captain Jack Trengove.
Melbourne has emphatically denied any of its players have had contact with Dank. It also refuted claims the club employed Dank.
It is believed the Dees board met for an emergency meeting at the MCG tonight.
SOME OF THE ALLEGED TEXT MESSAGES:
Dank to Bates: "Meeting with Neil Craig next Tuesday or Wednesday. Spoke to Dave today."
Bates to Dank: "Great."
Dank to Bates: "When we will start Jack Trengove on the AOD?"
Bates to Dank: "Tomorrow"
Bates to Dank: "Where can I get him to pick it up from?"
Dank to Bates: "The pharmacy. Tell him to ring me and he can meet me there."
Bates to Dank: "...Lynden Dunn would like an injection on Thursday if possible (good about Dunny asking, as he is doing it because the other guys have said they feel good). Dan."
Dank to Bates: "Great. I will book him in."

He's been a big success this Dank idiot.
Essendon = failure
Melbourne = bigger failure.
If Richmond had anything to do with this Dank fellow I will warm up my microwave.

Some would say he's been at the club for 30 years! :help

AFL not happy according to Barrett. The AFL spoke to Melbourne in February about this and the Demons denied it. The AFL is now seeking a further explanation from the Dees.
-
inb4 not guilty and 500k fine :shh
-
At least we know it wasn't performance enhancing ;D
-
In a strange way this will take the focus off the Bombers.
Because the Dees originally said they had nothing to do with Dank and now these sordid little TXT messages prove otherwise. Bombers have said we "put our hands up,went to the AFL & ASADA"
Not excusing the Bombers stupidity but compared to the Dees and their strategy the Bombers are angels ;D :rollin

It once again raises the question of how the media are getting hold of private text messages?

I would have thought the answer was obvious.
If Dank is going down he is aiming to take others down with him.
:cheers

he keeps proclaiming his innocence and that he does nothing wrong, doesnt he?

Releasing text messages to the press is not illegal.
:cheers

Im not saying that it is, although if it is in relation to an investigation that he is the center of, it probably is.
What i meant was, that if he feels he has done nothing wrong, why would he have the attitude of taking others down with him, while perhaps providing info that ultimately harms his own case?

Seeing this latest lot appeared on the 7.30 report on the ABC and Danks gave the ABC his only one on one interview, my money is on Dank and his legal team. His lawyer has said adnauseum that they have alot of TXT messages and emails as evidence to prove Danks did nothing wrong
As for how Ch9 got what they sprouted the other week, I still think it's Dank

I think then, that puts this issue well and truly to bed.
-
Was my understanding that only the Federal Police can touch Dank?
He's no longer in the industry so ASADA can't touch him, they also can't force him to give information
I don't think he has a 'case'
Seems like this is all payback for the defamation of his character – and what a great bloke he is proving to be :lol

Agreed. Think I've heard Dank can't get in trouble because he's no longer in the AFL. However, his reputation is destroyed and you'd imagine it's him trying to bring others down.

Should have read onto page 2 of this thread. Exactly what I was getting at. And yes a man of exceptional character. Wonder if he'd pass our recruiting character test? Gimme a house Troy broke through the net and burst out the other side so anything is possible. :shh

You are correct gerks
But Dank has actually launched a civil case for defamation against all these nasty media types who are saying mean things about him ;D
That's why his lawyer keeps going on about how all the TXTs & emails that prove he did nothing wrong. They intend to use all of this in the civil case as proof he was defamed. Remembering in civil cases the burden of proof is on Dank to prove to the courts that he has in fact been defamed

Wonder if Gary had an idea and that's why he didn't want to go back and play sheriff a second time, to avoid being involved in this crap.
