where's Nathan Bock at?

All the infringements against Dank coincide with the three months he was contracted to Gold Coast in late 2010 and early 2011 and the year he spent as Essendon’s sports scientist. During the period of his contract, he was considered an athlete support person under the AFL anti-doping code and prohibited from supplying banned substances to a third party.
Dank was originally charged with 34 breaches of anti-doping rules. He was not represented in the AFL tribunal hearing. His sanction will be announced after a hearing on May 5.
The infringements upheld against Dank include trafficking banned peptides and human growth hormone to Carlton’s high-profile tackling coach John Donehue and baseball coach John Deeble. Dank was also found guilty of attempting to traffic CJC-1295 to Suns high-performance coach Dean Robinson and complicity in the trafficking of Hexarelin to Essendon weights coach Suki Hobson.
Donehue, Deeble, Robinson and Hobson all made admissions to ASADA about their personal use of banned substances, which was both legal and permitted under anti-doping rules for them.
Dank was found complicit in the supply of Humanofort, a product that contains various banned substances, to Essendon staff, and trafficking banned substances to customers of the Medical Rejuvenation Clinic. Dank is a director of the anti-ageing clinic.
The tribunal, chaired by retired Victorian County Court judge David Jones, threw out all charges against Dank relating to his dealings with footballers at Essendon and Gold Coast. This included allegations that he administered Essendon players with two banned peptides, Thymosin Beta 4 and Hexarelin, and that he assisted in Gold Coast recruit Nathan Bock being injected with CJC-1295.
The sports scientist has not been charged with an anti-doping offence relating to his work with NRL players. The question of whether Bock was injected with a banned peptide has remained unanswered throughout the entire saga. The Weekend Australian can reveal that ASADA failed to pursue doping charges against the All Australian defender despite its own investigators recommending he had a case to answer.
Dean Robinson told ASADA investigators that Bock was treated with CJC-1295, at Dank’s instructions, in December 2010. Bock admits to receiving an amino acid injection from Robinson. Robinson says it was Dank who administered the injection. Dank maintains that CJC-1295 was a permitted substance at the time.
Armed with Bock and Robinson’s testimony, ASADA investigators recommended in October 2013 that anti-doping proceedings be initiated against Bock. The recommendation is contained in a previously undisclosed report investigating Gold Coast.
It is understood that ASADA’s lawyers declined to take action against Bock, citing the need to first run the case against Dank. ASADA chief executive Ben McDevitt yesterday failed to explain why the case against Bock had since been abandoned. ASADA’s case against 34 current and former Essendon players for taking another banned peptide, Thymosin Beta-4, was last month rejected by the AFL tribunal.
McDevitt brought the case against the Essendon players after ASADA’s investigators warned the case faced ‘‘insurmountable obstacles’’ to prove. The investigators also questioned the public interest in pursuing footballers who, if they did take a banned substance, only did so after being lied to by club officials. McDevitt believes he was duty-bound to proceed with the case.
The anti-doping authority has until Tuesday to decide whether to appeal the finding in the case of the Essendon players. The World Anti-Doping Agency can ask for the case to be reheard by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
