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

[Kong]

I know I'm not a Moderator anymore, so you can all tell me to jam it (or better, ignore me altogether), but seriously, ASADA/Drugs etc.

Surely it's not hard to leave discussion of other clubs to the Non-Essendon Thread and Delusional Pearlers threads?

If anything, all of that discussion in here is a disservice to the Essendon board. It keeps this thread on the front page, where none of us want to see it; it dupes all of us into visiting here hoping for some good (and related) news; it gives BigFooty even more hits on an issue they've milked for all it's worth.

Unless there's a new development relating to the actual investigation* then please don't post in here.

You've still got it Kong.

This could not be emphasised any more strongly.

So yeah, ASADA and all that.

meh ... I've moved on.

We're loose cannons so to speak, everybody would be too scared to post

Lord Nicholson will be impressed the asterisk is in the correct place.

Sorry, St Ki*lda

Other things that have impressed me this year: Anthony Hudson saying "perhaps". Good boy.

He did slip in a 'prehaps' on the weekend. I wouldn't have noticed it had you not pointed it out many moons ago.

Sources close to the long-running Essendon supplements saga have told the Herald Sun they believe it is unlikely ASADA would progress any potential case against any other players or officials until the Dank matter is heard.

Despite the changes to the ADRVP and possible delays in hearing cases, Federal Sports Minister Peter Dutton still expects the Downes report on ASADA’s Essendon investigation to be completed by the end of the month — in just eight business days’ time.

 

[RearNaked]

ASADA are a ******* joke

 

[rumply]

Despite the changes to the ADRVP and possible delays in hearing cases, Federal Sports Minister Peter Dutton still expects the Downes report on ASADA’s Essendon investigation to be completed by the end of the month — in just eight business days’ time.

But the contents of the report by retired Federal Court judge Garry Downes — and all of ASADA’s findings — will be kept secret until “all matters associated with the investigation are finalised”, which could take years if any party pursues an appeal through the courts.

“It is expected Mr Downes’ report will be provided to ASADA by the end of the month,” a spokesman for Dutton’s office said. “The report will be subject to legal privilege and will remain confidential.”


So we will all be sitting around in the dark for maybe years to come....wunderbah!

 

[The Scales]

Erm, can someone wiser than myself explain this paragraph - and the existence of an interim report?

Asked if any final ASADA report would be made public, the spokesman said: “Matters being investigated in the NRL and AFL are still to be considered, and under ASADA’s legislation it can make nothing public until all matters associated with the investigation are finalised.

 

[Harlequin]

ASADA are an absolute disgrace.
If mine or any other work place was this incompetent they would be out of business.

Pffft, technicality...Now about those player names published in a newspaper...

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Interim report is the biggest cluster * of all time. ASADA signed their credibility away the day they released it

Eh, it's not their fault the AFL acted on it

 

[Kaiser Powser]

Eh, it's not their fault the AFL acted on it

What did they think the AFL were going to do with it?

The AFL requested it, so that they had something to act with.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Eh, it's not their fault the AFL acted on it

Wat?

It was an ASADA report, unprecedented and an arguable violation of their legislated responsibilities. The action or otherwise of the afl is actually immaterial

I'm wondering why ASADA has to wait to finialise what happens with Dank before anything happens with players? I would have thought the cases would be independant.

 

[Burzum]

I am shocked that a government authority is poorly run.
