THE DRUG SCANDAL: AFL TRIBUNAL DECIDES

[Redleg 37,928]

just love it when you talk all legalese, red

It is an art form.

[beelzebub 22,271]

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)

[hemingway 7,601]

It is an art form.

Red in your case your words may be an art form, however, I would use the word "artful" to describe the law and many members of the profession using the full meaning of that lovely word!

[Whispering_Jack 28,027]

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!

I don't see how the judges could be "comfortably satisfied"

it was plain to everybody that essendon was clearly "uncomfortable", as was the AFL and the medja

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.

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

[beelzebub 22,271]

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)
