Richard Ings on twitter saying some interesting things
His opinion, views are the ones that carry the most weight for me.
Respect Whateley as he is a good journo but Ings' still stressing it is the WADA banned list not ASADAs
Richard Ings @ringsau twitter:
"I have listened to Dr Garnham. (1) WADA determine what is banned or not. Not ASADA. It is the "WADA" banned list.""(2) the wada decision on the status of AOD9604 is below.
http://playtrue.wada-ama.org/news/wada-statement-on-substance-aod-9604/""(3) If ASADA gave incorrect or incomplete advice in 2013 on AOD that advice would not have informed decisions in 2011/12 to use or not AOD.""Finally ASADA has explaining to do, as I have tweeted previously, as to whether it gave incomplete advice on AOD at any time.""Vey nice to finally hear AOD referred to tonight as a drug. It is not a supplement. It is a drug"----------------------------------------------------------------
Ings' point 3 is one of the key points for mine. Even if ASADA gave incorrect or incomplete advice in 2013 on AOD that advice would not have informed Essendon's decisions in 2011/12 to use AOD or not.
The other point is if everything was so fine and dandy then why did Essendon self-report itself in February 2013? If it's all allowed, then why is the Ziggy report so damning of Essendon's experimental program?
Just more Essendon spin from one of their consultants
