According to the learned panel, EFC did not take TB4. If they did, a guilty verdict would have been reached. That is all you need to be concerned about.

So Essendon are NOT GUILTY of using Thymosin Alpha?
LanceUppercut and ManWithNoName is it OK to say that? Will rephrase at your demand.

A glowing and unequivocal account of the EFC's program and the player's lack of any guilt whatsoever:

Forget about legal advice- he had his reporting hat on today pure and simple.

So that exclusion was for the taking of the syringe activity? Not governance?
In the judgment that was released only to the parties, the tribunal chaired by David Jones said there had been a "deplorable absence of records in the program relating to its administration".
They didn't say they didn't take it.
They said there wasn't enough evidence to prove they did.
Even the biggest scarf waving malcontent would know that today's decision does not prove they didn't take TB4.
Still, 2 years on, no one knows what was injected into the players.
And we're celebrating this??
"One of the players said in his interview that Mr Dank acted as if he was God. It seems that he was treated as if he was God in relation to the supplements program.
Whatever it was it must've been good

That's old news- EFC already punished for poor governance.
Jobe and team mates flying the colours at ... oh wait.

Surely that is threadworthy.
AFL worried about the crowds dropping off.
Wonder why.
But the foods cheaper.

It really isn't. Why would you argue a nonsensical position?
ASADA had laws passed for the express purpose of hauling Dank in, and didn't bother to use them. They're on record as saying they would appeal if the tribunal verdict went against them. I'll concede this much to Essendon supporters - if they fail to follow through, they were indeed bluffing.

Would a reasoned decision handed down by a Anti Doping tribunal be able to be used as evidence in a civil case
This is not necessarily correct.
You may be right - or you may not.
It could be that the tribunal does not believe any EFC players were injected with TB4.
If this is the case the players may want the evidence made public.
It may also be true that the tribunal believes some players were injected with TB4 - but ASADA could not "comfortably" prove which ones.
If this is true? Then the players will not want any evidence made public.
It is so important to have all evidence/information made public.
There has been so much suppression of information in this whole saga that non EFC supporters are sure EFC is as guilty as sin - and has something to hide.
Turn a bright light on all the evidence and other supporters will share your conviction that EFC players are indeed innocent - until then most will think subterfuge/"AFL fix" has won the day.
Why anyone could have a problem with this is beyond me - if there is nothing to hide? - then don't hide anything.
Yeah, I have it on dvd, it's awesome!

Get a life- EFC are not celebrating. The point is EFC players were found not guilty of taking one banned substance-TB4 by a totally independent panel who were hit by 4 weeks of ASADA incompetence. Thankfully they were learned enough to determine their was no case. Now carry on and accept it.
