THE SAGA CONTINUES - WADA APPEALS

NRL have not signed up to WADA protocols, hence the continuing appalling behaviour of much of their playing Group. The AFL wanted to do this too until the federal government informed them that there would be no more subsidies, particularly on stadium and training facilities, from federal or state governmentS if they did not. They came into line.

If this had not happened, I suggest there would be Essendon style practices in almost every club, except no one would hear about them, as there are alleged to be in the NFL.

Not sure if anyone has seen the latest photos of Jarrod Hayne. Check out the arms. No way that is natural. Definitely no way in 12 months. Is NFL not signed up to WADA?

 

The NFL is not signed to WADA for one very good reason: they know what would happen if they were.

You may recall a spate of steroid scandals in major league baseball. Nothing compared to what goes on in the NFL.

Easy to spot? Really SWYL? I just thought their strategy was deny, deny, deny. I think, as a by product the players left but I would find it incredible if this was a planned strategy.

On the contrary, I find it incredible that delay to turn over the list would not have been part of any club with managers having half a brain.

There were early posts here suggesting that strategy and we don't worry about these things full time (I hope).
 

Delay everything AND blame!! Blame the delays on CAS...plus blame the AFL. Essendon think tank....Our tactics will be to blame and delay and give Slobbo and extra bottle of whisky or 2 every week so he'll be totally under our control and wont even notice.

The players will take the heat but NO ONE higher up there will take any of it for them. Hird is innocent, so is Reid, so is Evans so is Little ...hell even Dank is innocent ( ask him) and the players ( well we cant blame them as they're clearly the victims here) So actually everyone is innocent. I just dont know how they managed the most organised, ongoing and illegal drug ruse in the games history when everyone was so innocent. But look, its all gone on for so long now and the players have suffered enough and the public has had enough so please lets just all move along now. vomit.

Close!

yes they have. nrl plays under wada/asada restrictions, you only have to ask cronulla sharks.

i'm sure you know that. did you mean to say nfl in first sentence?

Sorry, an embarrassing typo. It should have been the NFL ie American Football. Sorry.

Former Don takes club, AFL to court over supplement documents

The court heard that early in 2012 a PowerPoint presentation was given to Essendon players, during which coach James Hird and senior players assured the team that the program was compliant with anti-doping regulations.

If so, one would expect Hird and the senior players involved to have some knowledge of the substance injected as part of the programme.

The senior players either knew everything or they just swallowed what hirdy was saying.

Either way they should have done better.

Its always the bloody Powerpoint presentation.

Its all Gates' fault :rolleyes:

don't think they swallowed it, bigg, more like they injected it


Injected = powered-point ?

Its always the bloody Powerpoint presentation.

Its all Gates' fault :rolleyes:

How come they never took him to court?

Don't give hirdy ideas OD.

Hearing Worksafe Vic has finally decided charges will be laid at EFC!!

Reported on SKY news..........

Here it is folks....

Following a comprehensive investigation, WorkSafe has charged the Essendon Football Club with two breaches of the OHS Act 2004 in relation to its 2011-2012 supplements program. The charges are: • One breach of section 21(1) – failing to provide and maintain for employees a working environment that is, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe and without risks to health. • One breach of 21(2)(a) - failing to provide and maintain for employees a system of work that is, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe and without risks to health. WorkSafe understands the significant public interest in the details surrounding this matter. However, as it is now before the Court, it would be inappropriate to make any further comment at this time. WorkSafe has also completed its investigation into alleged breaches of the OHS Act by the Australian Football League. Following a review of the available and admissible evidence, it could not be established to the requisite standard that the AFL breached the OHS Act - See more at: http://worksafenews.com.au/news/item/448-essendon-football-club-charged.html#sthash.Es6P7GKx.dpuf

So no charges to the AFL - technically a signatory to the employment contract. That should mean the focus remains on the EFC and the Directors that oversaw the breaches.

Let the pain continue.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
