"White Australians" are to blame! Who the hell are they? How do we identify them in this multicultural milieu Australia 2015? Do they really exist or are they just projections in the psyches of the self loathing?

I'd love to see Goodsy give a nod to his father's white European heritage by adding the Irish jig or brief Michael Flatley tribute to his "show"!

“The name’s Goodes. Adam Goodes.” Two suave Scots! (Adam's father is of English, Irish and Scottish ancestry)

A "BIGmac" comment from jnrmac!

" I am unprepared to hang them on skerricks of evidence leaked to the media in a PR war " I reckon this is where I stop reading your posts! Adios Amoeba!!

My "take home" from dpos was that the WADA don't trust UCI or the AFL . . . can't imagine why! A damning report published on Monday shows how cycling’s world governing body, the UCI, colluded with Lance Armstrong from 1999 to 2009 to circumvent accusations he doped and to cement his status as the pre-eminent personality in the sport. The report reads: “There are numerous examples that prove Lance Armstrong benefited from a preferential status afforded by the UCI leadership … UCI did not actively seek to corroborate whether allegations of doping against Lance Armstrong were well-founded [but] fell back to a defensive position as if every attack against Lance Armstrong was an attack against cycling and the UCI leadership … there was a tacit exchange of favours between the UCI leadership and Lance Armstrong, and they presented a common front.” http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2015/mar/09/lance-armstrong-uci-colluded-circ-report-cycling ....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... It is claimed that Evans relayed the "tip-off" from Demetriou to Hird, ex-Essendon chief executive Ian Robson, club football boss Danny Corcoran and other Essendon officials. The next day, February 5, a meeting between Essendon officials, including Hird, and deputy AFL CEO Gillon McLachlan, is described. http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/demetriou-tipoff-a-key-factor-in-essendon-selfreporting-hird-writ-states-20130822-2sdf5.html A DELEGATION of senior Essendon players met with AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan last week in the countdown to the AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal's decision on whether they will face suspensions. Captain Jobe Watson and fellow leaders Brendon Goddard and David Myers represented the Essendon players at the private meeting with McLachlan, which was held at the CEO's home. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-03-03/senior-bombers-players-meet-with-afl-ceo-gillon-mclachlan-as-antidoping-verdict-approaches What vexed the Tribunal apparently came down to this: Those involved thought they were buying, distributing, compounding and dispensing Thymosin Beta-4 (or ‘TB4’). However, the Tribunal could not be satisfied the substance was, in fact, TB4. Specifically, it is reported that the Tribunal comfortably accepted: Shane Charter bought what he believed to be TB4 and arranged to have it sent to chemist Nima Alavi; Mr Alavi believed he then compounded TB4; Mr Alavi dispensed 26 vials of a substance he believed to be TB4 to Stephen Dank; Correspondence between Mr Alavi and Mr Dank regarding “thymosin” refers to TB4; Mr Alavi’s lab technician compounded 15 vials of a substance she believed to be TB4 for Mr Dank; Further, experts agreed the substance in Mr Alavi’s possession then delivered to Mr Dank was not Thymousin A1 (as subsequently claimed). Required to prove this circumstantial case were the following matters: TB4 was procured from sources in China; and TB4 was obtained by Mr Alavi, compounded and provided to Mr Dank in his capacity as Sports Scientist at Essendon; and Mr Dank administered TB4 to each Player. The Tribunal reportedly did not consider ©. This is because it was not comfortably satisfied by (a) and (b). For the Tribunal, belief did not translate into fact. What then was the substance administered to each player? Circumstantial cases rely on inference. Here, the Tribunal faced a fork in the road. The Tribunal could have inferred that because: the substance was not Thymousin A1; and it was satisfied the key protagonists involved in administering the product to players all thought they were using the prohibited substance TB4, then the substance was – to their comfortable satisfaction – TB4. Instead, rather than turning left, the Tribunal turned right, onto the road where belief does not offer sufficient proof. Presumably, the only sufficient proof would have been scientific proof. http://sociallitigator.com/2015/04/03/a-question-of-proof-might-an-asada-appeal-have-legs/ etc. etc.

I've worked out your selfy! Finger poised to hit delete on the TB4 spreadsheet . . . Aviators fool no-one . . Dean!!!

I say ditch wada and go with someone who will prosecute AOD users!

NO PRISONERS!! NO PRISONERS!!

Change the constitution by Royal Decree, easy for the King and Queen of Australia!!

Yeeow! That post made my ears burn, imagine the damage to Hirdy's Dumbo flappers . . BTW Essendon's got a new theme song for 2015 . . . Who's the leader of the club That's made for you and me M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E Hey! there, Hi! there, Ho! there You're as welcome as can be M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U-S-E Mickey Mouse! Mickey Mouse!

Looked about as chummy as me and the mother in law! The next goal will be HUGE!

Natalie Hickey has posted on the appeal and touched on the issue of subpoenas: How would YOU approach a WADA appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport? The prospect of compelling witnesses looks low to me. If this matter were in the Ordinary Arbitration Division we would have a chance of being able to compel witnesses. This is because CAS describes such subject matter as “commercial”. However, because we are in the Appeals Arbitration Division where the character is “disciplinary”, a basis for compulsion does not exist. Why does this distinction matter? It was at the heart of a key aspect of Justice Croft’s decision. ASADA had to prove that the AFL Tribunal hearing was capable of attracting the jurisdiction of the Commercial Arbitration Act 2011 (CAA) (hint!). Justice Croft held that proceedings before the AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal were not properly characterized as arbitration proceedings, and that if he was wrong about this, they were not of the necessary “commercial” kind. Consequently, Justice Croft found that the provisions of the CAA do not apply to a proceeding before the AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal, hence the provisions of s.27A of the CAA – relied upon in support of ASADA’s application for the issue of subpoenas – had no application. ASADA did not appeal this decision. That this judgment concerned the very AFL Tribunal hearing from which WADA seeks to appeal makes the task hard enough http://sociallitigator.com/2015/05/12/how-would-you-approach-a-wada-appeal-to-the-court-of-arbitration-for-sport/

AFL360 . . Hird blames everyone Asada, the press, the AFL, factors within the club. Seems this jerk has completely distanced himself from the saga, must be some sort of paranoid narcissist! (Where is Freud when you need him) apparently Asada have destroyed the EFC spreadsheets showing what the players were given aka thymomodulin. Watley was ok but obviously didn't want Hird to walk out like last time. Take home: Hird is delusional and dangerous! Robbo total waste of space . . . .

Well Ethan old boy, I figured the boards would lite up if Wada appealed . . but turns out it's busted this town wide open, what were blurred lines now replaced by trenches, minefields and heavy artillery. As the great John Travolta said on witnessing a nuclear bomb blast in the movie Broken Arrow "ain't it cool!!". In many ways the football landscape changes from today, as for our poor old Dopers . . Wada the destroyer has come for them and they have no place to hide!!! Enjoy your posts, keep your head down brother.

I hate Essendon and all who sail on her! However I am a hater with a heart . . . . . . . here a gift for the sneaky closet Essendon apologist who may be feeling a tad stressed: VALIUM enough or all (and sourced from OL' Mehico!!). (Yes, Demonlanders this is a ploy: put the Doper lovers to sleep with Valium then grab the can of Pea Beau and spray em like you would any filthy cockroach!)

Oh Really!! Ash35, on 11 May 2015 - 1:42 PM, said: I read this on the weekend in The Age : Fairfax Lawyer and Media columnist Darren Kane, analysing the case, recently said ASADA's case, which relied on "a dumpster full of circumstantial evidence such as emails, intercepted text messages, possibly bogus invoices, transcripts and newspaper scrapbooks" fell "so horrendously short of the mark". This from someone representing Fairfax media, so pretty safe to say not an EFC/Hird apologist. Tim Watson closing comments on SEN this morning quoting verbatim from this very article " this is an independent legal expert" say's Tim "this is not just my opinion!!" he squealed as the music swelled! Sad quite sad, sadder than sad! Squirm Essendon you son's of dogs!!

Ashes to ashes dust to dust A pox on all cheaters In Wada we trust!

Correct "drugs are no laughing matter" . . so, why not take your anti drug sentiments to the Essendon F.C board where they may do some good? Sitting astride your high horse making threats to Demon supporters on a Demon Fan site just seems to me somewhat disingenuous!!

April 20, 2015 WADA Statement on ASADA appeal decision WADA Director General, David Howman: “WADA has received the full case file, and will independently review the information in accordance with the World Anti-Doping Code rules.” WADA acknowledges the Australian Anti-Doping Authority’s (ASADA) decision not to appeal to the AFL Anti-Doping Appeals Tribunal in respect of the decisions in relation to 34 current and former Essendon players. WADA has received the full case file, including all evidence related to the decisions, and will independently review the information in accordance with World Anti-Doping Code rules. WADA will make no further public comment on this matter until it has decided whether or not to exercise its independent right of appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). WADA has 21 days to exercise this right. My suspenders are killing me too!!

This is the original piece . . been posted previously . . biased if only in tone! http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/why-asadas-case-against-essendon-players-fell-apart-20150424-1mrc4l.html

No appeal but a withering press release that we can use when necessary to cane the Doper apologista!!

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??
