Essendon face AFL probe/Players found Guilty by CAS

[one-eyed]

Asked about suggestions that members of the club's football department, including himself, were more responsible than Robson for the alleged doping scandal, Hird said: "the Switkowski report came out, there's actions out of the report that are going on at the moment, the investigation with (ASADA) is currently (taking place), and speaking about the issues to come out of (ASADA) would be inappropriate."

"We've given an undertaking we won’t do that until after the ASADA report comes out."

Hird conceded it had been difficult for players to focus on their football,  given they are still being interviewed by ASADA.

"We can’t deny it's a distraction, because it has been," he said. "I mean, this is not a normal weekly routine for football, but the majority of those interviews are now done, the players have now got through that part of the process. ASADA will go away and contemplate their report, but for us now it's about playing football."

ASADA interviews 'stressful' for Essendon players: Demetriou

3AW
24 May, 2013

Andrew Demetriou says Essendon players are learning new details about ASADA's investigation into the club that would be weighing on their mind.

Speaking with Neil Mitchell on 3AW, Demetriou said some Bombers would be feeling the stress since ASADA began interviewing players two weeks ago.

Essendon has lost its past two matches.

"We do know that these interviews are long and in some instances they are stressful because the players are hearing things they haven't been told before," Demetriou said.

"I would defy anybody in that situation - particularly if you're a young person - not to have it crossing your mind.

"Is that affecting (them) on-field? I'm not sure.

"But I'm sure that it's actually weighing on their mind."

Demetriou didn't reveal what new details the players would be hearing.

"I think during the interview process, Neil, they are being told about the practices and being told about the potential substances that may or may not have been used," he said.

Essendon players were given a detailed written briefing, commissioned and distributed by leading sports management group Elite Sports Properties, to prepare them for interviews with Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority investigators "trying to obtain admissions from you".

The 23-page document, seen by Fairfax Media, listed 15 "golden rules" for answering ASADA's questions. Number one was to "tell the truth".

Almost 40 supplements – among them the prohibited AOD9604, growth hormone releasing peptides GRHP-2 and GRHP-6, CJC 1295 and Hexarelin – are referenced, and players are urged to reflect on which they may have received.

Said 'kid' needs to do his two year ban first.

[Francois Jackson]

as bad as we were last night was 4 points that belongs to us.

when they are found guilty will we get those 4 points,  .

I can only hope that last game in round 22 is a dead rubber with us automatically taking the 4 points.

[dwaino]

When a team is rubbed out you still have to win to get the points.
