"Mr Dank maintains that Mr Alavi supplied Essendon with a later batch of Thymomodulin, an immunity booster found in some infant formula. Mr Alavi said this was “complete rubbish”. He said when he asked Mr Dank about the test results at Mimo­topes, he told him the batch was “fried’’ from exposure to direct sunlight and the peptides were destroyed at the lab.

Mimotopes managing director Sonja Plompen has told The Australian she has no record of her lab receiving a batch of peptides from Mr Dank in early 2012, much less destroying one.

Rob Willcourt, an anti-ageing doctor who has worked with Mr Alavi and Mr Dank, does not believe Mr Dank would allow $15,000 worth of peptides to be ruined by sun exposure. “He would have protected that stuff like it is gold,’’ he said.

Mr Dank has declined to be interviewed by ASADA and his version of events is not believed by its investigators."

lol at the label on the bottle. what a disgrace.

The thing that sticks out is that it's a photo of a photo. That is something you would do to hide the fact you photoshopped the first photo. The metadata would show alteration.
Other problems are that it could have been taken anywhere in the world, not necessarily at Windy Hill. We still don't really know what is actually in the vial etc etc etc.

Wallis - 'Hey guys, think I might take a photo of this medicine bottle so as we're cleared in the future. Also it will mean we don't need to keep any other records.'

The Bombers are a complete joke. Anyone who buys this crapola is a bigger one.

Why has the photo been folded into 6 parts, was this to try and make it look like it was around, say, 2 years old? Haha

Lol.  And why was it printed in the first place, only to be rephotographed?  Morons.

it emerged lawyers acting for two former Bombers, Stewart Crameri and Brent Prismall, who are now with the Western Bulldogs, were happy for the tribunal hearing to be open to the media - and therefore relayed to the public.

Essendon could be allowed to use state-league pinch-hitters in a drugs doomsday scenario

ESSENDON could get special dispensation to recruit state-league players from around Australia under a drugs suspension doomsday scenario.

The AFL and the Bombers have had talks about a contingency plan if players are suspended for taking performance-enhancing drugs.

If adopted, the Bombers would have access to non-AFL listed players to help field a team next year.

The players could be sourced from the VFL, the SANFL, the WAFL and state leagues of Tasmania, NSW and Queensland.

Up to 20 of the Essendon 34 charged remain at the club.

On Tuesday night the AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal sat for the first time in the Essendon case, to decide how the charges against the 34 players would be heard.

In the doomsday scenario, an emergency meeting of the AFL Commission could introduce rules which would enable Essendon to sign state-league players for the duration of the suspensions.

Any bans almost certainly to take in Anzac Day, the Bombers’ most cherished game of the year.

The marquee clash with Collingwood falls in Round 4 and the prospect of B-grade players taking part would be embarrassing.

If found guilty, the Essendon players could be sidelined for up to two years, but discounts could reduce bans to six months, including time served in the off-season.

The AFL has a strong incentive to ensure Essendon can field a team because of its lucrative broadcast rights deals with Channel 7 and Foxtel.

The prospect of the “ninth” game being abandoned, even for a handful of weeks, would have serious implications for the league’s finances.
