AUSTRALIAN CRIME COMMISSION - ORGANISED CRIME AND DRUGS IN SPORT
PEPTIDE AND
HORMONE CONSUMERS
A diverse group of individuals has been identified as users of peptides and hormones.
However, users can be categorised into three main groups:
• elite and sub-elite athletes
• bodybuilders
• anti-ageing clinic clients.
The ACC has also identified the administration of peptides and hormones to
thoroughbred racehorses, which is a breach of the Rules of Racing.
Elite Athletes 15
Widespread use of peptides has been identified, or is suspected by the ACC, in a number
of professional sporting codes in Australia. Although the use of peptides appears to be
more widespread in some major codes, individuals from a number of other sports are also
suspected of using peptides.
Multiple players (in one code) from a number of clubs are suspected of currently using or
having previously used peptides, which could constitute an anti-doping rule violation.16
Some players have also been identified as sourcing peptides for personal use. An instance
of team-based doping, orchestrated by some club officials and coaching staff, has also been
identified.
Apart from the peptide’s anabolic effects, it has been found that injured elite athletes,
particularly players from one sporting code, have been using peptides to assist in
rehabilitating soft tissue injuries.
While the level of suspected use of peptides varies between sporting codes, officials
from one club have been identified as administering, via injections and intravenous drips,
a variety of substances, possibly including peptides. Moreover, the substances were
administered at levels which were possibly in breach of WADA anti-doping rules. This
activity was orchestrated by some club officials and the club’s high performance unit.
While intelligence confirms the use of peptides in major sporting codes, it further suggests
that individuals in a range of other codes may also be using peptides.

Thats interesting...

Looks like the investigations have already taken place. Seems like one club is in a shitload of trouble after reading that.

Anyone catch that conference from Canberra then? By the crime commissioner and other big federal wigs. Essendon could have been investigated earlier and now been found out. Is it just coincidence or impeccable timing of that conference today?

Pure coincidence Dwaino.  According to BomberBlitz it's all Reimer's fault.
