I know it was a few pages back.. but the Australian article was interesting..
So ASADA has the defence "you can't complain now about the joint investigation cause you never complained before"...
but we now find out that the club AND the players AND hird.. did complain.. loudly and in writing... over and over and over and over.. including to the AFL and head of ASADA.. and then they complained again during the interviews.. and then again after the interviews.. and then again waiting for the report.. in fact the documents show that they did nothing BUT complain about the joint nature of the investigation for ALL of last year...
The bigger question is why they didn't take it to court last year.. when it was obvious that it was being conducted illegally.. like before we got belted with the games biggest penalties..
My suspicion is still that the club was 'promised' that the punishments last year would be the end of it.. and that ASADA would not proceed further. I truly believe the show cause notices and McDipshits media show were a shock and surprise and hence this court action..
Going to LOVE watching ASADA argue to Justice Middleton that "they never complained" while Middleton is staring at over 25 legal requests for verification of the legal status of the investigation...
