Caro said on 3AW she expects between 6 and 10 AFL players to receive infraction notices.

Note she didn't say "Essendon players".

In all honesty 55 i dont think nor see how Caro could have a clue about what WAD/ASADA intends..its not like the leaky ship of the AFL.

ASADA are still investigating us aren't they?

The AFL might have some idea though.

YES

Then we would all know by now!

That is significant I think...

And what's Robbie Flower doing there?(back row 2nd from right)

Finally seen the light?

The AFL says it has no idea. This appears to be it's view about whether infraction notices will be issued over the so-called "supplements" investigation - The AFL still believes Essendon will escape sanction over their supplements regime

"We cannot ever rule it out, as we have discussed, but I have no knowledge, visibility or understanding of anything impending."

It is understood the AFL has been in regular contact with not only ASADA, but the Federal Government which oversees the national anti-doping body.

McLachlan had said in August it would take `"definitive new evidence'' for Essendon to be issued with penalties.

The Western Bulldogs have just lured Essendon forward Stewart Crameri, aware that he could one day be dragged back into the peptides saga.

Yet with Essendon sports scientist Stephen Dank still refusing to be interviewed by ASADA that prospect seems unlikely.

I think the AFL would be wise to continue to not rule out the possibility of players receiving infraction notices. This story still has a way to go before it's fully played out.

[beelzebub 23,383]

This is a brave new world for the AFL....its one it doesn't rule or have any significant influence. Its trying to look relevant to it all but in reality its just subservient to the outcome. Must be quite humbling for them.

[deanox 9,989]

At some point ASADA will release the final report. They will interview Dank or we will hear about then trying to.

After we will know. Until then we have no idea. Neither does AD.

Vlad knows all just ask him!

[beelzebub 23,383]

Vlad is playing a very straight bat to all this. he is all things aside, a very seasoned player in all this rubbish of 'image' etc he knows full well he's for once outside the loop of the real machinations of this event, and the outcome. He's effectively taking a role of me-too, a head nodder !! hes probably practiced the various outcomes and modelled various moods and stern faces to accompany whatever shlt he ends up speaking when the infractions are finally issued.

its all quite fascinating

[Sir Why You Little 37,127]

It gives me the trots that Essendrug still get top billing on ANZAC Day.

as much as ive written on this subject heres some more thoughts

people are saying bombers in clear because afl wouldn't let them trade if they were guilty and let another club suffer after the infractions?

my take is that vlad realises that the final report would not come before trade/draft day and the afl can only deal with the here and now.

im sure all clubs knew it was buyer beware time and acted accordingly

my best mate said jobe definitely has a case to answer without any doubt.

the afl cant restrict or let the draft/trade hinge on maybe's

so the doggies have hopefully done their risk assessment and gone ahead with their trade

im still hoping their caught and finish bottom of the ladder for the next 2 years

Jazza your best mate is a sports lawyer who specialises in doping cases?

[jazza 1,323]

no,works for nth

said after talks with their chemis ummm science staff at club

[Sir Why You Little 37,127]

The case is not closed yet. And there is a case still to be answered.

The caulfield doctor who was reported in the press a couple of montgs ago has left the country i have been told ....

[rumpole 522]

If anyone thinks WADA is going to allow a precedent to be set whereby a club gets away with avoiding WADA sanctions because no proper records were kept of what was taken and who took what, they are very much mistaken. The investigations of the NRL and AFL clubs involved will be painstaking and drawn out but the players involved will not get out of this unscathed.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

....if they are found guilty of taking banned substances. And by the rules nor should they given any exemption. Nor should officials involved.

I wonder how much ASADA/WADA have to go on if Danks wont speak to them........

However if one infraction notice to an Essendon player is issued, then Hird, Thompson, Reid should be finished in the AFL.

And they should hang their heads in shame.
