For those in the know a bit more than myself, what do the Essendon* players respond to with the Show-Cause notices? And what happens after that?

They respond with reasons why they should not be infracted and an independent review panel assesses their case. If the panel decides the evidence makes a case, it goes to an afl doping tribunal, which decides guilt, innocence and penalty. ASADA can over ride the afl via cas if they deem penalty insufficient and WADA can appeal as well. Will be hard for the afl to fix a dodgy outcome.For those in the know a bit more than myself, what do the Essendon* players respond to with the Show-Cause notices? And what happens after that?

I expect light penalties given via a deal with ASADA and nothing going to the tribunal. But they will miss games. Perhaps half the season.

My guess is the six months minimum allowed but half of it in the off season. Be enough to stuff up Essendons 2015 so will do me, but it's a bit unfair that some teams will play their Vfl team and others a fully fit and fresh best 22.Well my delusional essendon supporting boss reckons he has heard one month, watching him babble on today I thought this poor twit has lost the plot, and the I thanked any higher being who may have been listening that it isn't our club
completely independent.Thanks mate. Is this independent panel, independent of ASADA as well as the AFL? Or is this the AFL panel?
A VFL players got 2 years for ordering a substance that contained a banned ingredient over the internet. A VFL player got 2 years for taking the same protein drink as Saad did.I'll be interested to see what suspensions they end up getting, given Saad got 18 months just for taking the wrong protein powder.
NRL players you mean?A VFL players got 2 years for ordering a substance that contained a banned ingredient over the internet. A VFL player got 2 years for taking the same protein drink as Saad did.
It seems that AFL players are treated differently.
No, two VFL players got banned, one for taking the same drink as Saad did on match day and another for ordering a substance over the internet that was intercepted by customs.NRL players you mean?
ASADA actually appealed for Saad to get the full two year ban, but it failed.No, two VFL players got banned, one for taking the same drink as Saad did on match day and another for ordering a substance over the internet that was intercepted by customs.
Both got 2 year bans. Saad only got 18 months.
I know they did. Just pointing out that Saad got 18 months and a VFL player got the full 2 years for the same offence. As far as i know the VFL player cooperated. AFL players are educated on the WADA code so have less of an excuse.ASADA actually appealed for Saad to get the full two year ban, but it failed.
I am worried that the AFL tribunal will dish out a very lenient penalty. Take a guess who heads it?I know they did.

Of course they will, we know how this will play out.I am worried that the AFL tribunal will dish out a very lenient penalty. Take a guess who heads it?
Only hope is that it heads to the CAS.Of course they will, we know how this will play out.
Corruption at its very best.
And there goes another season thanks to those cheating scum...Only hope is that it heads to the CAS.
would it really take that long?And there goes another season thanks to those cheating scum...
Can't WADA come over the top if the penalty is too light?Only hope is that it heads to the CAS.
Yeah I agree.I am worried that the AFL tribunal will dish out a very lenient penalty. Take a guess who heads it?
Let me guess;To the Essendon board!
If the AFL risks handing out too light a penalty, it will leave ASADA no choice but to take it further. After 20 months of compiling "12,000 pages of evidence, which the ASADA Chief says is comprehensive and compelling" its hard to see ASADA accepting a lenient AFL tribunal penalty without a fight.I am worried that the AFL tribunal will dish out a very lenient penalty. Take a guess who heads it?
