30 January 2015

Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) welcomes today’s judgment delivered by Justices Susan Kenny, Tony Besanko and Richard White in the Federal Court appeal by Essendon coach, James Hird.

Today’s unanimous judgment by the Full Court upholds Justice John Middleton’s earlier comprehensive ruling that ASADA lawfully conducted its doping investigation into the Essendon Football Club.

The judgment reaffirms ASADA’s strong view that ASADA and sports have a joint responsibility in upholding clean competition in Australia.

ASADA and sports must partner if we are to have any chance in protecting the integrity of fair competition.

This partnership allows ASADA, in harmony with sports, to run a holistic anti-doping programme focused on prevention, education, testing, investigation and enforcement.

ASADA Chief Executive Officer, Ben McDevitt said it is important that the community understands that the fight against doping, is not a fight against sport.

‘We remain vigilant in our work to protect the health of athletes and their right to compete against clean athletes,’ said Mr McDevitt.

The AFL orchestrated Craig and Neelds move to the Bombers as further punishment.
Hird and Bomber to be replaced by the 'dream team' - Craig and Neeld.

Well played Gil.

BREAKING NEWS......................James Hird to now appeal to the Galactic Senate.

 

[jenny61_99]

in all honesty, I can't see this being a tipping point. That point came and went when he made the decision to appeal. They decided he did in fact have the right to pursue his legal rights, or at least be seen to have the right.

As I said, if he decides to take it further, see ya later. But if not, well, it then comes down to the tribunal. It's a bit late in the day to be getting another head coach. If we lose big at the tribunal I'd expect that to be the point it's all over, and then we probably get Mumbles in the big chair

Harvey?

 

[chelseacarlton]

you need two threads on this Chief, the most stable genius,?

Jeez Lance,even Albert likes it done twice.
There's a joke about a hunter and a grizzly bear that reminds me of Hird!

ASADA released a statement shortly after the verdict was delivered on Friday saying it had been vindicated for working with the AFL to uphold a clean competition.

"ASADA and sports must partner if we are to have any chance in protecting the integrity of fair competition," the statement read.
CEO Ben McDevitt said the anti-doping body would remain vigilant in its work to "protect the health of athletes and their right to compete against clean athletes".

Somehow the point above has been lost in this whole sorry and sordid saga.

Where is the ******* AFLPA supporting the rights of the 600 odd clean AFL players????????

Golden Balls - just like Pol Pot has changed the time/date of the universe as we know it ps Carlton are on top of the ladder 8 wins 1 loss (to Avondale Heights who were brilliantly coached to a massive upset victory in Round 3)...

no this was raised some time ago

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Essendon are showing they are the most unprofessional sporting club in history. No integrity, no pride just plain old fashion stupid and being run by absolute weak people who for some unknown reason have their blind faith members still backing them in.
It is simply unbelievable what has transpired, you could not write a script as unbelievable as this.

 

[hoianbulldog]

when does Chris Connolly start there?

Macca's free and he already has Tulla in his GPS.
