Think being able to actually interview and Dank them would have made a difference.

Come on mxett. I know your happy and all, but don't bring yourself to that level. Your better than that
Yes, but with a lower "weighting" whatever that means. I mean, I find it hard to believe that the tribunal still wouldn't have been "comfortably satisfied" with Charter's sourcing of TB4 from China if he had testified before the tribunal that he had done exactly that.

Did you watch 360 tonight? Perhaps it would be an idea.Whatley explains it with some clarity.
Why did the chair bring it up all the time then? It seemed to be a bugbear to him personally.

And their evidence was concluded to be something along the lines of self serving lies. (Not exact words but same meaning)
ASADA lost their case because there is no proof that we were injected with TB4, it's very simple.

FWIW I am rapt the Essendon players got off. Its also terrible what they've been through the last couple of years.
But bigger picture, we have a massive problem. All clubs now have a blueprint to cheat with PEDs. The system has to change.

Are you being obtuse-did you read the posts you responded to?
But anyway.
I thought Whately on 360 tonight was essentially saying the tribunal believed that Dank, Charters and Alavi thought they were buying it and compounding it. But the chain of steps to the players couldn't be made ( probs because of no docs!). So had no choice but Not Guilty.

Of course I am setting them a little high but I still cant see how it even comes close to a comfortable satisfaction

Not really, EFC were incompetent (so would most clubs that trust their sports science, other coaches have admitted as much). A competent administration dedicated to cheating, well that's a different ball game (in more ways than one)

Well let's see, how to avoid that hmm.
PieMan!
All Australian
Yes
Well then we are going to have to agree to disagree as I won't ever set a bar so high its impossible to achieve when the burden of proof required is substantially lower

Well the East German and Chinese model worked for a while. Truly evil but possible. Afterall EFC via Dank did this very thing down to having players signing non disclosure agreements. Imagine if a competent administration dedicated to cheating with PEDs did it?
Well, there you go. Show's over folks. I've said all along an appeal is unlikely but now I'd be staggered.
ASADA went all in and I doubt wada want to sell the farm to rescue them.
Stick a fork in it and bring on the footy.

Yep that is another problem -links to organized crime etc. Maybe the ACC should have run the whole show rather than doping body.

The players would have to be complicit though. Makes it harder.
In Essendon's case, the players were just dumb.
