Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.


THE DRUG SCANDAL: AFL TRIBUNAL DECIDES

I think Mc Devitt feels that the AFL tribunal stopped the domino from falling, which it should have done and then taken the other ones with it.

that tribunal wasnt that good about joining dots ( or dominoes)

From what I can see, not too many seem to share your view. The outcome at the tribunal turned on one decision, whether or not it was TB4 that left the plant - that manufactures TB4.

Once that domino didn't fall, none of the others followed.

That's the thing that concerns me. A sports scientist arranges for drugs to be supplied by a Chinese manufacturer who produces TB4 i.e. the "bad" Thymosin and the Tribunal which claims to be comfortably satisfied that the players didn't ingest the "good" Thymosin can't conclude that the sports scientist injected the product that one purchases from that manufacturer. They simply don't know.

It's like going to the milk bar, asking for a bottle of milk, getting a bottle with white liquid that has all the attributes of milk and the court saying they're not comfortably satisfied that you purchased milk.

Redleg who has years of experience in the court system will tell you that judges who determine cases will sometimes pluck decisions like that out of their proverbials when it suits them.

Not a "backyarder"

Tribunal appeared to trivialize the Chinese supplier of TB4 but the Company has cred!

THE Chinese Mnf. GL-Biochem is part of Global group 'Commonwealth Biotechnologies, Inc Richmond Virginia' and has Corporate ties to Melbourne lab Mimotopes.

RICHMOND, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Commonwealth Biotechnologies, Inc. (“CBI”) (CBTE.OB) is pleased to provide this market update about its planned acquisition of Shanghai-based GL-Biochem and its associated businesses (collectively the “GL Group”), one of the largest global suppliers of research-grade peptide products and peptide reagents. On completion of the transaction, CBI believes it will be the largest supplier of pre-clinical peptide reagents and custom peptide synthesis services in the world. The Company will be comprised of (i) the GL Group in China, (ii) Mimotopes Pty Ltd in Australia and (iii) assets in Richmond, Virginia. In addition to the GL Group, CBI will continue to own and operate Mimotopes Pty Ltd, based in Melbourne, Australia, an industry leader in the peptide and discovery chemistry sector.

Waiting for the accusation that the Chinese company substitued MSG for the good Thiomysin like the lame excuse in today's paper where a drug traffiicker blames Chinese syndicates for giving him 30kg of Ice instead of peptides to smuggle to Australia and got caught. Edited by america de cali

It's worse than that, the tribunal said it was possibly TB4 or TB500, both banned substances, so it is like buying milk, marked milk, but then claiming it may be low fat milk so we can't really call it milk!

truly sickens me how farcical it all has been.

Put another way, there's three I couldn't respect if you paid me.

The best way I've heard it summed up was:

1,2,3,4,_,6,_,8,9

We all know the missing numbers are 5 and 7, but you can't prove it so Essendon aren't guilty

Well actually we know they are 5 and 7, not missing at all, but was the 5 a 5 or was it a 5? Was the 7 a 7 or a 7 ?

You can see how the Tribunal members might be uncertain, especially if suddenly switching to absolute proof when all over decisions weren't. Clear as mud ( or that other brown muddy stuff)

Mr Coates is also head honcho at the CAS. Is this his way of telling the world that the Dopers have finally gotten away with it??

or his way of telling WADA to go for it. Too much reading of tea leaves is bad for you.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
