One Essendon signing for 2003/04

[Latrobe]

I can confirm to Bombers supporters that former Footscray Bulldog and Richmond Tiger, Justin Charles, will be making a comeback for the Bombers in 2003 or '04. Charles was suspended in 1998 for taking anabolic steroids in order to help his hammy heal quicker. He is now doing Drug Education in Victorian High Schools.

An injury to his hip forced Charles' retirement however with the help of a Chinese doctor using traditional medicine it is healing and Sheeds has told Charles to ring him when the hip is right and he'll sign him.

Are you his drug dealer ?

Actually John, justins mum gave him the drugs. She was a nurse from memory. I doubt he'll play for us. He wasn't great anyway. Apparently we're chasing Clem Michael.

Then why has Sheedy been ringing him once every couple of months asking about the injury? Sheedy wants Charles to play.
