Essendon face AFL probe/Players found Guilty by CAS

"Has/can the AFL cut a deal with wada to let players off"

 

[mightytiges]

The reactions coming out of Essendon and from their supporters tonight is very similar to Carlton when they got hammered by the AFL for salary cap cheating. A mixture of denial, resignation, anger towards the AFL and trying to portray themselves as the victims of "unfair and harsh" penalties.

I wonder what will happen to all the #standbyhird posters now .... (sounds of tearing cardboard).

Also cries in the night towards posters of Hird on bedroom walls ...

- engaged in practices that exposed players to potential risks to their health and safety as well as the potential risk of using substances that were prohibited by the AFL Anti-Doping Code and the World Anti-Doping Code;

- failed to devise or implement adequate systems or processes to ensure that some substances provided to and used by players were safe and were compliant with the AFL Anti-Doping Code and the World Anti-Doping Code;
failed to have proper regard to player health and safety, including failing to ensure that some substances had no potentially negative effects on players;

- EFC failed to ensure it adequately protected the health, welfare and safety of the players;
there was a risk that Essendon players could have been administered substances prohibited by the AFL Anti-Doping Code and the World Anti-Doping Code and any such risk is an unacceptable risk; and

- EFC is unable now to determine whether players were administered some substances prohibited by the AFL Anti-Doping Code and the World Anti-Doping Code,

The AFL acknowledges that neither EFC nor any of the individuals charged set out to implement a supplements program that would result in players being administered prohibited or potentially harmful substances.

It doesn't matter whether you took a banned substance by accident or that you weren't intending to cheat; you still cop a ban.

It's now up to ASADA to determine if tonight's verdict is all there is or if there's enough/more evidence regarding players being allegedly given WADA banned substance(s). While Essendon can move on,  this investigation still hangs over the heads of the Bombers' players.

The AFL will ask ASADA dont do anything please, until after the grand final.

lets hope not but i would say evidence of harm to their health would do it in a massive way.
