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



Recommended Posts

A question RE the ADRVP and the AFL convened Anti-Doping Tribunal.

Are players placed on the register of findings by the ADRVP suspended pending the Anti-Doping Tribunal hearing?

Assuming a player appeals to the Administratiove Appeals Tribunal (and ultimately the CoAS) against a suspension handed by the AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal, do the players serve the suspensions during the appeals process?

In usual courts of law you may be remanded, or you may be free until you have exhausted all appeals. I'm not sure how it works with the WADA code.

Not entirely sure on this one. Using a couple of cycling cases that went to the CoAS. In Michael Rogers case he was suspended until his Appeal. His Appeal was successful so he was reinstated. However, I think the suspension was done by his team not ASADA. In the case of Contador, he appealed to the CoAS and was allowed to continue to compete up until the hearing. He lost the appeal and his results from the time the Notice was issued were stripped from him.

I don't know about you but I don't see the Dons voluntarily suspending players, so I would assume they will keep playing.

Reading through the submissions on the afl.com.au site. Hird's arguments look even worse on the appeal. Desperate technical arguments in vain hope to suppress the truth. Doing his reputation irreparable damage. Don't know who's driving these Court proceedings but the damage he's doing to himself no matter what the result makes this whole decision making process bizarre. Will eat my hat if this appeal gets up. Indications from the Bench don't look too promising either. Wouldn't think this decision is going to take very long.

In time you will all come to understand that I am right and ASADA and the AFL are all wrong!

Apparently Hird is being represented by a Dennis Denuto who will be using Mabo as a precedent; Denuto was heard to mumble something about "the vibe".

How much does it cost to go to the high court?

He has to get leave from the High Court to appeal. They won't grant it for this.

Thank Gough (or God, who I gather may be one and the same) that he stopped appeals to the UK Privy Council in 1975 or Hird could go on forever.

Did the ASADA lawyer fluff his submission??

4:20pm:

Justice Kenny is now questioning a number of assertions made by Howe. Howe is arguing that the negative implication against ASADA gaining the fruit of the AFL's exertion of power (being argued by Hird) is all over the place.

4:09pm:Howe tries to analogise ASADA and the AFP. Kenny says that different arms of executive government cannot be compared.

The Judge is testing the arguments put by Counsel. A usual practice and not necessarily indicative of anything.

You are being harsh there. He doesn't want to supress the truth. He simply wants ASADA to start again and conduct a lawful investigation because the players and he would answer differently this time if they knew they didn't have the threat of the AFL being able to force them to speak hanging over their heads.

He really is a beacon of self sacrifice.

I remember last time at various points the cheer squad from the HUN were saying how well the hird case was going based on questions being asked by the Judge.

And we all know how that one ended

The appeal after that is to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. In the Contador case that took over a year.

Just to be the resident pedant, it didn't actually. The UCI appealed in March 2012, and the case was heard in November. Much of the initial hold-up in that case was because all the documents had to come from Spain (perhaps not particularly rapidly) and then be translated. The CAS hearing had been initially scheduled for June, which is only a few months after the appeal had been lodged, and is more in keeping with how long the CAS appeals take.

But, agree with your post. If that's how they want to play it.

How can they answer differently if they're telling the truth?

- though suspect that little of this hinges on information that the players have provided.

Especially, as we all know, because they have done no wrong :huh:

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
