I reckon its a deflection, and a deal has already been done to hand it back to the convicted drug cheat after the heat dies down. Gil - not only slimy but clueless and incompetent. Really - no idea what to do with it? Hasnt given it any thought? Hasn't had time to think about it? What has he been doing? Utter incompetence!! 5 Quote

jackaub 1,402 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Why do the media continue to call this the Supplements scandal? Why not refer to it as ORGANISED iLLEGAL DRUG TAKING FOR GAINING ADVANTAGE IN SPORT IT WAS NOT SUPPLEMENTS AND IT IS NOT A SAGA! It is drug taking and it was club sponsored.The media and AFL are trying to make it apppear less than it was and they continue to do so 8 Quote

My first thought was, "nah, its worthless". Then I thought, what if it was made officially available for anyone to buy? What would someone pay? And I think you're right. Some rich, mad Essendon supporter might pay multi-thousands to have it. Which is the madness of elite sport - people will pay way more than they should for something that is actually worthless. Like a Melbourne membership in 2013. Quote
Dees2014 2,377 Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 I notice that Ben McDevitt, Head of ASADA for the last three years, has announced he will not renew his contract when it comes up for renewal in May. I think we all owe McDevitt a huge debt in this saga. At the height of the pressure generated by Hird's and the AFL PR machines which tried to discredit WADA and ASADA in an effort to intimidate them into not prosecuting and appealing, McDevitt stood firm inspite of a quite spiteful personal campaign against him. I think very few people would have had the courage to stand up to this public (Hird's legal/PR team and his tame Press-pack), institutional (AFL) and beaucratic (Daniel Andrews, Tony Abbott) intimidation. In this there is no doubt McDevitt's experience as a senior investigator in the Federal police where he mostly worked on international crime stood him in very good stead. Let's hope he is replaced by someone with equal resolve, courage and integrity. We as supporters, and indeed the AFL and even Essendon (though no doubt they do not think so now) should thank him for his very distinguished service and wish him all the best in whatever he chooses to do next. We are very fortunate to have bureaucrats of such quality. 5 Quote

If anything, the only party which might have acted questionably is ClubsNSW and then only if they deliberately ignored the conflict, by which I mean they didn't confirm arms length negotiations between Demetriou's company and CrownBet. I have to add, though, that the photo of AD amused me. I'm so used to seeing Stephen Dank on his phone whenever the media is present I wondered whether that was who was on the other end of the call. 1 Quote
