Essendon face AFL probe/Players found Guilty by CAS

[Judge Roughneck]

 

[WilliamPowell]

Ch 7 news tonight claims the AFL told Hird that if he fell on his sword and pleaded guilty to conduct unbecoming then the AFL wouldn't charge his mates Reid, Corcoran and Thompson. Hird said nope and so the AFL charged all four of them.

Essendon chairman Little said they won't do things that suit the AFL's timetable; they'll work to a timetable that will suit Essendon FC and that means preparing for finals.

So we've got a coach putting himself above everyone else at his club and a club putting itself above the League and the other 17 clubs  .

Contempt nothing but contempt 

Strip them of their license, don't deserve to be in the competition

"I know this investigation is ongoing, but if they don't know after seven or eight months that we have taken anything illegal, how are they going to know in 12 months time?," McVeigh asked.
"I never once thought that I was taking anything illegal or had signed up to take anything illegal and I'm happy at this stage that that is what has come out and everyone knows it now."

Of course Mark. In your own words it was just:-

VITAMINS
NOTHING
PAINKILLERS
NOTHING ILLEGAL

A fool with a soapbox.

A fool with a soapbox.

Yep.  If anything has come out of this saga it is that McVeigh and Watson are not journalist's a-holes and are merely sycophants for everyone and everything EFC.

[(•))(©™]

that's right.
Sycophants the are.

Barrett tonight on the Footy Show:

* There's 25 charges against Essendon/Hird/Reid/Corcoran/Thompson. Regarding discussions between AFL and Essendon lawyers there's no common ground over any of the 25 charges. So this looks like dragging on and on.

* The other 17 clubs are sick of it and getting sick of Essendon. Malthouse the only one at this stage to go public about it but behind the scenes the other 17 clubs aren't happy.

If this goes to the courts let it drag on for years appeal after appeal after appeal.
They'll resource their club funds eventually they will run out and they can merge with Aberfeldie in the EDFL.
The contempt they have shown their players and the 17 other clubs in nothing short of extraordinary.
Let them become the new Tassie Team when Hawthorn's contract with Tassie expires.
Essendon at the end of this will be left penniless, destitute and eventually extinct and the Golden Boy will be the centre of some of their greatest ever on field successes and their greatest footy failure in history.
He has the potential to become and is fast becoming footy's biggest loser and destroyer in history.
Let them hide lies with more lies I say. Skata does stick to the rim in case he hasn't noticed even if you flush twice. Toilet brushes are becoming bristleless at Waco Hill.

[Tribulus terrestris is a flowering plant in the family Zygophyllaceae, native to warm temperate and tropical regions of the Old World in southern Europe, southern Asia, throughout Africa, and Australia.[2] It can thrive even in desert climates and poor soil. Like many weedy species, this plant has many common names, including bindii,[3] bullhead,[4] burra gokharu, caltrop,[1] cat's head,[1][3] devil's eyelashes,[5] devil's thorn,[1][5] devil's weed,[1] goathead,[1] puncturevine,[1] and tackweed.[6]

. terrestris has been shown to enhance sexual behavior in an animal model.[15] It appears to do so by stimulating androgen receptors in the brain.T. terrestris is now being promoted as a booster for the purpose of increasing sex drive. Its use for this purpose originated from a Bulgarian study conducted in the 1970s, which found effects on free testosterone and luteinizing hormone in men belonging to infertile couples.[citation needed] A research review conducted in 2000 stated that the lack of data outside of this study prevents generalizing to healthy individuals [16]
Animal studies in rats, rabbits and primates have demonstrated that administration of Tribulus terrestris extract can produce statistically significant increases in levels of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone,[17] and produces effects suggestive of aphrodisiac activity.[15] On the other hand, one recent study found that T. terrestris caused no increase in testosterone or LH in young men,[18] and another found that a commercial supplement containing androstenedione and herbal extracts, including T. terrestris, was no more effective at raising testosterone levels than androstenedione alone.[19]
The active chemical in T. terrestris is likely to be protodioscin (PTN).[20] In a study with mice, T. terrestris was shown to enhance mounting activity and erection better than testosterone cypionate;[citation needed] however, testosterone cypionate is a synthetic ester of testosterone engineered for its longer activity, rather than an immediate effect. Testosterone cypionate has a half-life of 8 days and is administered every 2–4 weeks in humans for testosterone replacement.[21] The proerectile aphrodisiac properties were concluded to likely be due to the release of nitric oxide from the nerve endings innervating the corpus cavernosum penis.[citation needed] Also, T. terrestris was shown to have strong inhibitory activity on COX-2.[22]

Colostrum (also known colloquially as beestings,[1] bisnings[2] or first milk) is a form of milk produced by the mammary glands of mammals (including humans) in late pregnancy. Most species will generate colostrum just prior to giving birth. Colostrum contains antibodies to protect the newborn against disease, as well as being lower in fat[3] and higher in protein than ordinary milk.

ome athletes have used colostrum in an attempt to improve their performance[31] decrease recovery time,[32] and prevent sickness during peak performance levels.[33][34] Thus, supplementation with bovine colostrum (20 g/d) in combination with exercise training for 8 wk may increase bone-free lean body mass in active men and women.[31][35]
Low IGF-1 levels may be associated with dementia in the very elderly, although causation has not been established.[36] People with eating disorders also have low levels of IGF-1 due to malnutrition,[37] as do obese individuals.[38] Supplementation with colostrum, which is rich in IGF-1, can be a useful part of a weight reduction program.[citation needed] Although IGF-1 is not absorbed intact by the body, it does stimulate the production of IGF-1 when taken as a supplement.[39]
Colostrum also has antioxidant components, such as lactoferrin[40] and hemopexin, which binds free heme in the body.[41]
