Bombers scandal: charged, <redacted> and <infracted>

[Whispering_Jack 30,949]

Dank is now going on the pub circuit with his next appearance due in Ballarat - Dank set to speak, but not to ASADA

Of course, he would put everyone out of their misery if he went public with information about what he gave the Essendon players during the supplements programme or gave it to the Bombers (who own the information) so that they can pass it on to ASADA.

I suppose he needs the pocket money he'll be getting for appearance.

The anti doping rule violation panel now has 6 members - Stephen Dank case may now be considered

Bring it on.

First domino Dank about to fall.

is it at all possible, that Dank Knows this circus is going round & around, but getting knowwhere. he's not even starting to sweat yet. & the asada dragon has been dissected & drawn, out in the Sun.

Wow. Just an observation, but there have been literally 1500 posts on this topic since I last visited and, from what I can tell, almost nothing has changed... Not being critical of anyone on here, just observing how this seems to be just going in circles...

Probably due to the fact that the investigation is subject to bureaucratic processes and the understaffed investigative authority is receiving no co-operation from a number of parties that are possibly wary of self-incrimination. It took a long time to get Lance Armstrong and he also had his cycling federation, a team of lawyers and media groupies looking after him.

[Whispering_Jack 30,949]

I had some reservations about the stuff up with the ADRVP but the appointment of two law-enforcement experts spells trouble for Dank, Essendon and Cronulla.

Sports Minister beefs up anti-doping panel

[Whispering_Jack 30,949]

Easter and bureaucratic (bungling?) matters A Federal Government decision is likely to delay the ASADA doping investigation have seen this thread relegated to page 4 of the board but the story isn't going away - Panel ruling imminent on Stephen Dank

If, as anticipated, things don't work out well for him, Dank is going to try to delay the inevitable through proceedings in the Federal Court (expensive but it's his right to do so). The delays won't be welcome by the Essendon players implicated because, apart from having to work their way through the strains of the uncertainty surrounding this saga, there's a possibility that this will drag on into a period when the maximum penalty for anti doping violations becomes four years and not two as is the case now. Two years is tough but four would be career ending (although it's not clear whether the four year maximum would apply for offences that took place in 2012).

Shameful. I will not be watching.

Essendon chairman Paul Little says self-reporting to ASADA may have been a mistake

I think whilst self-reporting allowed the various authorities that needed to get involved, it gave them an unfettered access to the football club, to individuals and to everything else ~ Paul Little

Not quite "unfettered" Mr. Little. They weren't given access to the records of what your club injected into your players.

Perhaps if that would have been done we might have been a lot closer to the final resolution of this farcical situation.

Don't worry about that one. Gerrard Whateley believes in it and therefore it must be so

[beelzebub 23,388]

Might have been better all around hadnt someone tipped them off and ASADA had hit them cold and unawares.

Little simply doesnt understand truth

Oh he understands the truth, he is merely trying to distract the public away from it.

We all know records were kept...Dank told us he has copies.

Pep Juice seems to be wearing off at the 'G...(just checked a score)

I'm half expecting Dr. Larkin to declare their performance a classic example of CPFS (Chronic Peptide Fatigue Syndrome).

yeah...it sure looks like they only took the short acting stuff today :-))

[Freddy Fuschia 750]

They played really well despite the pep juice but the wheels are slowly falling off. I wonder if they'll stick together if and when infraction notices are issued?

[biggestred 5,193]

If/when they get infraction notices all hell will break loose

And I will probably crack a beer, sit back and enjoy it

Bureaucratic issues aside, there's a chance that we'll know whether there are going to be infraction notices served on somebody - Dank, Bomber players, officials ... by the end of the month ... hopefully ...

Secret ASADA report from Garry Downes completed, expected to have reviewed all cases relating to Essendon supplement use

[biggestred 5,193]

40,000 injections over 3 months.

If they get nothing its a disgrace

it will be interesting to hear if McLachlan talks about "the integrity if the game" as much as Dimitriou did, especially at the start of his regime.
