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

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Another 3 months???

Jesus * christ do these blokes know what they are doing? I thought bringing the judge in was to speed the process up not * delay it.

Sounds like the judge is just as incompetent as Asada.

 

[The Scales]

Can someone explain for me what the role of the federal court judge actually is, and how it relates to the ADRVP? Is his job to assess whether there is enough evidence to issue show cause notices? If so, why would a lack of ADRVP members slow that process?

Exactly what you said re: judge, if he tell ASADA their case is strong they take it to the ADVRP. This panel does seem redundant.

The judges report is still supposed to be finished in a few days, but it is the new panel members that is the issue now - they need to get their heads around what has happened etc, which apparently the old panel was all over like a cheap suit until some of them got handed their hats...bureaucracy at it's finest & our tax dollars hard at work, why do things once when you can do them twice...

BREAKING NEWS:

Power brokers from the federal government and investigating authorities in the drugs in sport saga are rumoured to have called an emergency meeting in order to hasten the increasingly drawn out investigation into the controversial supplement programs at the AFL club Essendon and NRL club and the Cronulla Sharks. Exclusive pictures of the meeting were captured by the best news breaker in the business, the Purple Helmet.

So it comes back in late July ..... AWESOME!!! Finally something to fire the boys up and get them through the last month of the season!!

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Surely the longer this drags on the more likely players will escape bans.

It's April we're having difficulty with now.

And if you want an example of how far 'the establishment and its underlings will go to cover its own arse, take a look at ESPN's 30 for 30 on Hillsborough tonight. One of the most disgusting cover-ups you could imagine.

The only reason it's being dragged out now is for ASADA to save their ass. If they had anything on the players they'd have done something by now.

They don't want the second most evil person in human history to embarrass them in a federal court

I had exactly the same thought. Particularly striking was the 'moment the lie was created that started the myth'.. in the heat of the moment the Police Chief starts a lie to cover his butt... and it takes 25 years to debunk that ONE lie. Sadly, devastatingly, how many lives ruined because of one sentence, on lie, that began a cover up and besmirching of characters that extended for decades.

I was immediately drawn to the same moment in our own saga, when the lie became the myth and thus became the accepted fact. I wonder if James Hird will still be fighting for justice in 25 years... I have no doubt that the truth always struggles to come out.. and it will in this case as well.

Hillsborough was/is a tragedy.. and yes that was a good documentary but it still didn't capture the full horrific travesty that has occurred from 1pm on that day and is ongoing.

Question

I thought that the ADRVP was a separate organisation to ASADA and operated at arm's length. Surely ASADA investigates a matter ( referring to non-positive test ) and decides if a case should be sent to the ADRVP,who then decide whether to act on ASADA's investigation. I can't see any reason why ASADA and the ADRVP would be discussing cases.

 

[rumply]

Think that's right yaco, & the reason for the new delay as the new panel members have to get up to speed

 

[Stiggitupem]

Think that's right yaco, & the reason for the new delay as the new panel members have to get up to speed

Why would establishment of new ADRVP panel slow ASADA down in issuing show cause notices? ADRVP and ASADA are supposed to be independent.

Good question, but apparently the old panel were already across much of the detail, so who knows wtf is really going on.

Stephen Dank is due to face the Anti-Doping Rule Violation Panel after being issued a show-cause notice by ASADA. Picture: Jon Hargest Source: News Limited

ASADA’S attempts to pursue Stephen Dank have hit another hurdle with a key panel member pulling out of the case.

Former Australian Institute of Sport director Dr Peter Fricker, who was appointed to the Anti-Doping Rule Violation Panel three weeks ago by the Federal Government, has a potential conflict of interest over past dealings with Dank.

Dank was expected to face to the panel this month after ASADA issued a show cause notice alleging 34 possible anti-doping breaches.

The Australian reports Fricker visited Dank in Qatar in 2012 to discuss a proposed clinical trial involving controversial anti-obesity drug AOD6904.

At the time Dank was not under investigation over his role in Essendon’s supplement program.

Hilarious.

Meanwhile at ASADA HQ

 

[rines]

ummm. yeah.

 

[rumply]

I mean seriously, who are these ******* clowns....

 

[rumply]

Peter Fricker, an experienced and highly respected sports physician and former director of the Australian Institute of Sport, declared his potential conflict to Minister for Sport Peter Dutton prior to his appointment to the Anti-Doping Rule Violation Panel three weeks ago.


So the minister knew beforehand that this bloke wouldn't be able to adjudicate on Dank, so why appoint him now? Nobody else want the job? Didn't understand what 'potential conflict' means?

No way this is getting sorted out this year let alone this season.
