What's even more unbelievable is that Dank is still peddling his quackery at a private medical clinic in Sydney. How can this be allowed?

The article is fire walled.

Can you summarize  it?  In particular is the clinic named, and / or any of its medical principals (note I avoid the word principles).  Worth a line to AHPRA in my opinion.

From the HUN article today quoting Tim Watson:

How can they say that with confidence if they don't know what was injected?   They must at least know what class of substance it was to be able to say that.

 

"Timmy, we have good news. We've worked out what we gave the players. It was only vitamins and a few harmless weight loss injections!"

"Oh, what a relief! I must admit, I was worried that the old black and red might have been letting the players down."

"Ha ha ha! Of course not Timmy. We have the payers best interests as our foremost concern! There may have been some other harmless medicines and equine feed supplements but nothing major and we're not certain anyway but they wouldn't have been anything really bad. And they were in tiny doses and they probably weren't administered anyway. And they wouldn't be harmful. There's nothing on the internet about them being harmful. In fact, there's nothing on the internet about them at all."

"Oh, great. I'll just go to a few independent medical advisors and ask them about the vitamins though, if you don't mind."

"You go for it Timmy. Because we love to help, here's a list of independent medical advisors that we happen to have. Run it past them. And don't forget to tell the papers."

If you search in Google news for "Stephen Dank Clinic" you will be able to read it at top of search page. Has a doctor there providing prescriptions for his bunnies. Is some woman doctor from Uruguay. 

Oh FFS, the good of the game. What a load of chit. The good of the game is for all clubs to have an even playing field.

I think sums it up, from the article

"Repeated calls to Dank and Dr Meneghetti were not returned but the medical receptionist at the clinic made it clear she would not pass on messages.

“Don’t call back here,” she said. “Get lost, get stuffed. You are full of [censored]. I have a patient here and you are just full of [censored].”

Is there some discrepancy between who handed over the additional information to Hunter, Essendon or the AFL ?

So who is actually holding this stuff? Are the AFL aware perhaps, of covert investigations into themselves as well as Essendon?

Would not surprise.

Just watched it too Jack. FMD, I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The poor dumb [censored] still believes they were hard done by - an injustice. And what about the claim that they were given written assurances that everthing was legal and above board etc !!!!

I'll have to catch the replay later.

Apparently Dyson couldn't believe that one of the papers ran with the fact that the players hadn't disclosed on match day the supplements they'd taken... but the paper was only reporting the evidence that was offered by  ASADA/WADA - presumably passed on by the AFL and presumably which the players and Essendon could have refuted with their own documentation.

360 has lost all credibility by making Heppell a regular. Dumb as dishwater and wet behind the ears. 

Get the sense from hearing him talk though he's not dumb enough to stay with the club, reading between the lines he feels betrayed.

Please don't...I refuse to watch the show now that Heppel is on.

I would encourage everyone else to do the same...

Yet you watched it before with Robbo???? The only reason ever to watch it is the occasional insight by GW & Roos who isn't on this year.  Judging by the segment where they were driving around with the players in the car I won't be watching it much this year either - the lunatics are running the assylum.

This is a world where "the good of the game" means "covering our arses" 

4 corners absolutely destroyed essendon tonight and left me wondering how people arent in jail.

And they didnt even need to spin anything.

4 corners on the ABC just now - essential viewing to understand the real side of the players and their club.  Hal Hunter presents as a very hard done by individual and the club present exactly as you would expect.  What a pack of flogs!

Overall another bad night for Essendon. Their long term viability must be suspect especially when the law suits start.
