No Oppo Supporters CAS hands down guilty verdict - Players appealing - Dank shot - no opposition - (cont in pt.2)

[MarkG]

Any comfort to be taken from what Timmy said this morning?

He would have spoken to Jobe many times. So players are most likely thinking similar. They genuinely believe that they are innocent. And they most likely are.

 

[Dan Cooper]

I think there are some differing opinions on that (as discussed a few pages back).

One thing he said that probably doesn't provide much short-term comfort is that, while something top-level will probably leak out reasonably quickly, the general public probably won't know a lot about what's happened until at least around 4pm or thereabouts.

I think it will be a long, long time after 4pm this afternoon before we really start finding out what did and didn't take place - even just the tribunal's version could be hours and hours away - if they tell us at all.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

I wouldn't be surprised if Tim wrote a book on it. He has probably already started.

get the feeling hes about to launch a Moab on certain ppls and organizations

Oh, absolutely.

But he was essentially making the point that there may not be anything official until at least around then.

All good

And I've just hit 5,555 posts which must be some kind of positive sign for the superstitious amongst us.

Hell yes. Feels like I'm about to go play a grand final of some sort, except I cannot do anything about the outcome.

surely the players will let family members know as soon as they find out...i think we will start to get rumors pretty quick

I think that I'm comfortably prepared for any eventuation.

...And by prepared I mean that I am certain that I will loose my s**t regardless.

Good luck boys. I've enjoyed the jousting over on the HTB. Seriously though, I hope your boys get off as they have already been punished for over 2 years. That is enough, even if it was TB4 that Dank gave them without their knowledge.

I just want the tiges to win come Thursday and everyone to be arguing about how good or bad their team is on field (and Lance questioning where my team is at obviously!!).

Cheers.

Ps. boncer34 - I still hate Bruce, sorry!

All good

Haha.

But I just hit 1776 - which might mean the club needs to sign a Declaration of Independence from the AFL today?

there's one thing i don't get.

are the tribunal deliberating as we speak?
if not, why are we (everyone involved) still waiting for the verdict?
if not, when was the verdict reached, and why couldn't it have been handed down at that time?

I have been perplexed by that to. The best answer given is the tribunal needs time to write up the reasons of their finding.

 

[threeleggedgoat]

No no no, you guys obviously haven't got it yet. Clearly it's Hird's fault that the verdict hasn't been announced yet.

Push for Senate inquiry into ASADA’s Essendon supplements probe
http://m.heraldsun.com.au/news/push...upplements-probe/story-fni0fiyv-1227285412698

A PUSH is on in Canberra for a Senate inquiry into ASADA’s handling of the Essendon charges, and whether the worldwide anti-doping code should apply to the AFL and NRL.

Greens senator Richard Di Natale, a doctor and former VFA footballer, said a broad-ranging inquiry could look at the investigation conducted by ASADA into the Essendon Football Club.

PLAYERS BRACE FOR FULL DOPING DECISION

GET THE LATEST NEWS AND ANALYSIS AS IT HAPPENS

It could also look at whether the WADA code, as enforced by ASADA, was the most appropriate for the big sports of AFL and NRL.

“The AFL makes some good arguments about the need for a review,’’ Senator Di Natale said. “The outcome we all want is for players to be playing the game drug-free.’’


Senator Di Natale, who headed a sports science inquiry, said it may be the best outcome meant “moving away from the strict letter of the WADA code’’.

The Herald Sun understands controversial sports scientist Stephen Dank, who organised the supplements program at Essendon, has indicated a willingness to appear at a potential Senate inquiry, on the basis he wants to clear his name.

 

[dnbassador]

I was feeling confident until one of my good mates has a mate thats a lawyer in Federation Soccer and they were all talking about it in a private facebook message with another mate which is on the WADA counsel monitoring Essendon.

[I know this sounds like my sisters, brothers, dads uncle type of thing but I'm not like that]

His prediction was that Essendon will be banned for a year, but should be banned for 2. If the tribunal finds otherwise they are misapplying the WADA code and they will sue the AFL and appeal. The only way we are getting of is if there is evidence not in the public domain.

So hoping Gill has something up his sleeve and just deals the Evidence Card that smashes this case to pieces [in a good way]!

 

[boncer34]

Yeah that sounds legit

 

[carnthedons]

Haha.

But I just hit 1776 - which might mean the club needs to sign a Declaration of Independence from the AFL today?

On a scale of 1 to 1776, how likely is our freedom?
