EFC players: Comfortable satisfaction not reached.

[MaddAdam]

As its stands the players are not guilty and the process has spoken and that's the result. The players did not use PEDs.

However there is still the very strong possibility of a WADA appeal.

 

[Reppie]

Must have cost the AFL millions to cover this one up.
WOW.

Great news. So if ASADA didn't have factual evidence y did we have 2 endure 2years of pain? Players should sue ASADA 4 frivolous accusation

For someone who I use to enjoy in the media circle, he really is 1 clueless prick

Write an article about it

Spike being told he was injected with Vitamin C.

If true this would prove to "my comfortable satisfaction" that Vitamin C injections make you stupid!!!!

 

[L_W_P]

Hahahaha.

It was as good as I'd hoped.

Huh?

So asking about the WADA appeal process or what today means for the AFL is funny?

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Ooga booga has many months left

Actually, only 21 days

 

[Back One Out]

Agree. For me the AFL has now knocked FIFA off its perch and can lay claim to being the most corrupt sporting organisation on the earth.

For those doubting it just look at a few things:

• CoLA
• Anti-doping saga
• 3 strikes policy, which doesn't apply if you self report.
• Tanking when it is tanking. You fine the club and officials but say it didn't happen
• Uneven draw in terms of competitiveness
• Academies for some clubs and not others
• Uneven draw in terms of fixturing times and clubs ability to break even.

• AFL ambassadors in Sydney.

Everyone is surprisingly coy about this, but the AFL are paying some serious extra coin to the likes of Buddy, Goodes, Cameron, etc

he had a say in the program but didnt run it.

Anyway, I've argued this for 26 months, Im not changing my mind

So Hird knew about it but had no roll in implementing or running it.

Seems feasible after all he was only the Head Coach.

Hird is as guilty as Dank.

42. WADA have an extra 21

 

[Oneiros]

A triumphalist post?

Jesus ******* christ we are through bathe looking glass

Going through the looking glass sounds good to me, I always liked Alice in Wonderland!

No it represents your insecurity. Nothing more.

The original title wasn't incorrect.

Something tells me that in the reverse scenario, "Essendon Players Guilty" would not have met the same scrutiny and requests to change it to "Tribunal were comfortably satisfied" would have been laughed out of here

 

[Chief]

Yeah coz its banned and Jobe said he took it and WADA and uh....

Yeah.

At last! Now we can put that one behind us.

 

[2one2]

Double? That's a bit over the top isn't it?

 

[boncer34]

No believing that this case got special treatment is hilarious.

he had a hand in planning it but didnt run it. Hird made 3 requirements which if met would ensure the program was acceptable. Unfortunately the people who ran the program, and those that supervised those staff, let the club down.

Assuming the fix is in on workcover and other related investigations as well

To be fair, it would probably have been something along the lines of "Christmas in March" rather than "Guilty".

Wasn't incorrect? It wasn't not incorrect either. Or something.

I personally will never accept that the AFL didn't have a hand in engineering this outcome.

They selected their tribunal, the tribunal cleared the players but for some reason decided to not announce the verdict on Dank (obviously so they could try and avoid outrage that Dank gets found guilty for administering banned substances but no players get found get at the same time), the last week all of a sudden the public starts being conditioned to a 'not sufficient evidence' verdict and lo and behold, that's the exact verdict we get.

The only way EFC can ever be truly cleared is if WADA come over the top and appeal and EF are found not guilty in a truly independent court, the CAS.

 

[Armchair Critic]

Well WADA can only decide whether they want to appeal when the time for ASADA to appeal has passed. If ASADA don't appeal I don't think WADA will though.

ASADA I am not convinced either way

 

[mxett]

workcover wont do anything significant

 

[ScreenDoorSlams]

This started with organised crime, and the result reflects that. Witnesses, it's all about the witnesses.

 

[peppy la pew]

That's what the tribunal said

Not quite, more like " we couldn't join the dots you got away with it "

 

[Sarcoidevo]

If Dank gets a life ban will he spill the beans??
