Agree Unless this is part of a wider plan to make wada appeal so the afl can be the good guys

http://www.theage.com.au/sport/as-clock-ticks-on-appeal-deadline-asada-still-waiting-on-crucial-dank-finding-20150415-1mlths.html nothing to see here

Although essendon think he was the bad guy to them and did them no favours. Fools

Anyone know what dank had to say?

Now im really glad i didnt go - this would have been the straw that broke the camels back and resulted in a one man riot.

Cheats do prosper

I want to vomit.

Im so angry

I dont like hawthorn. At all. I like their supporters even less. But [censored] i hope they kick 40 goals v essendon

He probably needs some disinfectant.

Witness tampering. Is there a depth they will not sink to?

Not before time too.

But heres the thing. I have a mate who is one of the smartest guys i know. Highly intelligent. Manages a branch of a business. Normally spot on with this sort of thing. And he reckons asada should be disbanded and they are a disgrace. Weird.

http://m.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/exbomber-hal-hunter-steps-up-supplements-case-against-essendon-20150401-1mcxkn.html Reckon thatd be a fairly lay down misere case if their defence was "we have no records"

The moral of the story is that if you get your coach/club to employ some dodgy guys to import your drugs from china and dont test the substance in a lab and get them to tell you its something else you can dope as much as you like.

Mcdevitt letting essendon have it

http://t.co/ay7ACQOKzX Whatley gets it. Kinda. 11 players say they were injected with thymosin. Charter and alavi say they gave thymosin to dank. The tribunal agreed that the only thymosin in question was tb4. They failed to join the dot. Wada need to appeal and subpoena dank to tell us exactly what he did with the tb4.

i want to know why the tribunal disregarded a player saying he was told he was given thymosin, even after they agreed that TB4 was the thymosin in question? was the player lying? in addition, what did the afl tribunal think Dank was going to do with the TB4 if he got it from alavi but not in his capacity as an essendon representative? did it just magically disappear and another thymosin magically appear? was dank lying to the player about what he was given?

1. Tribunal agrees it was tb4. 2. Came from china via charter to dank. Tribunal agrees. 3. Alavi compounds it. Tribunal agrees. 4. Dank gets it but "not in his capacity as an essendon representative". 5. Player is injected with what dank tells him is thymosin. Tribunal says thats "of no significant probative value" Anyone else see the holes here?

No. You just have to pick it up from the chemist in your anti ageing clinic shirt instead of your essendon one.

The tribunal was comfortably satisfied that biochemist Shane Charter had bought thymosin beta-4 in his first shipment of peptides from GL Biochem in China and that those peptides were passed on to compounding pharmacist Nima Alavi. There was some inference in correspondence from Alavi that he had compounded the drug. But the tribunal was not sure that Dank had received the drug in his capacity as an Essendon representative. The tribunal rejected the notion that he had used the legal variant, thymosin alpha. Are they serious?

There is evidence from a player he was injected with a substance from a brown vial that Mr Dank always told him was thymosin." But Jones said that was of "no significant probative value". Que?????

Still gobsmacked

Why not you ask? Answer: because the evidence led by ASADA was unsworn, unsigned, not given before the tribunal orally and therefore not able to be properly scrutinised or tested. Wow. This is the first time ive thought asada to be useless but if that is true then they are beyond useless.
