Essendon face AFL probe/Players found Guilty by CAS

[mightytiges]

Jacko spoke well on the show. Even took the mickey out of himself by saying in regards to PEDs - "I know that being the strongest and fittest player doesn't necessarily mean you'll get a kick."  .

Too bad the show was simply going over old ground and talking about things we already knew.

Has Galbally actually ever got anyone off anything LMAO most overrated QC going around

Whereas his father famously made the family name defending tough cases and winning them.

ESSENDON seems certain to be found guilty of a breach of the AFL Anti-Doping Code if even one player admits being given legal intravenous infusions at Windy Hill.

Whether those infusions carried legal drugs or banned peptides, it is the manner in which they entered they body that would breach the AFL's code.

The AFL's code makes it clear intravenous infusions are "prohibited except for those legitimately received in the course of hospital admissions or clinical investigations".

Those breaches of the code - "prohibited methods" - are viewed as just as serious as using "prohibited substances", and attract a two-year ban.

It is alleged Essendon players were taken over the road from Windy Hill to a Botox clinic and given intravenous drips.

just another case where the AFL is butt stuffed.

intravenous saline is the quickest way to rehydrate, yet they ban it, even though dehydration can cause serious health problems.

They allow an injured player to get anesthetic injections into an injured knee, ankle etc so the player can run on it and cause further damage, yet that player cannot then take substances that the rest of the public can to help heal that injury quicker, which further promotes pain killing injections......

What a bunch of arse clowns

A bit like governments criminalising drugs but allowing cigarettes and alcohol to be legal!

WADA allows it IF a player is dehydrated but if so they aren't allowed to take the field again.

This is what Brisbane were doing in the early 2000s weren't they?

[Penelope]

yeah, that was what led to it being banned.

just another farce.

Can anyone confirm how Dookie went with his probe

Dear Carlton Football Club,

For the past 100 years we've had a rich history of salary cap breaching, hush money, underworld ties, tanking, poaching players, draft tampering, owning Arden Street, VISY, corporate corruption, & brown paper bags. We have the biggest trophy cabinet in the league and decades of constant success driven by a win-at-all-costs mentality while showing utter disregard for all AFL rules. As a passionate supporter I have fully embraced our culture and I am extremely proud of what it had allowed us achieve.

So when I heard about this systematic doping scandal I expected that as a powerhouse club we would be at the absolute forefront of this science. That we would have set up our own underground drug labs and the worlds best sport scientists concocting all sorts of performance enhancing recipes in-house that no-one had ever heard of - anabolic leg injections to make Armfield kick straight, peptide pills that would cure Aaron Joseph's utter shi*ness and some sort of animal DNA mutation therapy to remove McLean's turtle-like qualities. We'd probably even be conducting illegal human testing on Norf's second tier playing list as a part of our ownership of their club.

But no, we are in the middle of the biggest cheating scandal in AFL history and Carlton is not even one little bit involved. Not a single mention, not even a hint of a mention. In fact the only drugs administered at the Carlton Football Club over the past few years are botox injections by Bryce Gibbs' beautician.

There may be loser clubs like the saints & Bulldogs who would be happy to accept decades of mediocrity while playing within AFL rules - but not Carlton supporters. The fact that undetectable performance-enhancing drugs exists and we are not fully exploiting them to our advantage is an utter disgrace. It goes against the fabric and principles that this very club was built on.

You have changed Carlton. You have lost the very identity that made you a huge success and the envy of 15 other clubs. Get back to your roots, cheat your hearts out and start ordering a few more shelves for our club's trophy cabinet.

Kind Regards,

     XXXXXX

ESSENDON could find itself in limbo for most or all of the season, as experts predict the ASADA investigation could drag on beyond six months.

It could see the bizarre situation of Essendon being in a position to challenge for the premiership, only to be stopped in its tracks by an adverse July or September finding.

If Essendon stopped in its tracks between July and September we wouldn't know the difference  .

Bombers' scientists 'bypassed rules'

Essendon's sports science team allegedly bypassed the club's AFL-accredited medical staff and used at least one external doctor to assist in a supplements program at the centre of an anti-doping inquiry.

The Bombers' sports science team is understood to have engaged the services of at least one, and possibly two, external Melbourne doctors with limited sports medicine expertise to participate in the player's supplements regime between late 2011 and mid-2012.

Medical sources aware of the arrangement have alleged that one of the external doctors involved may have written prescriptions for the players to be issued with supplements.

Essendon's long-standing and respected club doctor, Bruce Reid, is understood not to have been aware that the players supplements regime involved doctors from outside the club.

The external doctor involved has refused repeated requests to discuss his role in the supplements program.

The Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority is investigating Essendon's supplements program for the 2012 season. The club and its former sports science chief, Stephen Dank, have denied any performance enhancing drugs were used.

But the club and its players could face sanctions if it is established that the injections given to players breached the AFL's rules on intravenous infusions.

A spokesman for Essendon declined to comment on the alleged use of external doctors, citing the ongoing anti-doping probe.
