good to hear

 

[Bobby Charlton]

Great news.

 

[Randomizor]

When do they decide whether the hearings are public or not?

Love the chest pumping, each side more ready than the other for the biff.

Great theatre.

Utterly fake.

But great.

Yep. Let's get this sorted at the tribunal, with as much evidence for both sides as possible.

I think the tribunal will rule on that next week but I'm betting they will make the hearings closed.

If for no other reason than to protect the players who have not been proven guilty of anything at this stage. I would think they would lean towards giving them a measure of protection as the public's right to know can be satisfied after the hearing but the players could potentially suffer loss of reputation if the were named prior to any determination

So after an 18 month investigation, and recommending charges, they're ready to go?

Earth shattering

I'm not invested either way but Asada will win...Asada and the AFL have too much to lose and will get their pound of flesh as they have all the way through this saga.

Are Essendon ready? Perhaps they'd like to go and get laughed out of court again first.

Iirc, there is the final directions hearing on the 9th of Dec, when that will likely be decided.

Thanks!

Yep.

Can't argue both sides are doing it.

We'll only get five minutes into the first quarter and they'll adjourn for Xmas drinks.

Anyone know what date are they reconvening in the New Year?

David Jones Statement - Chairman of AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal
December 1, 2014 3:16 PM

The Australian Football League Anti-Doping Tribunal held a directions hearing today relating to proposed hearings in the cases of past and present Essendon Football Club players and a former employee of the Essendon FC who have been issued with Infraction Notices.

The directions hearing was productive and was able to resolve pre-hearing matters.

A further directions hearing will be held on Monday December 8, 2014, to review the progress in preparation.

It is anticipated that the ruling on whether the hearing should be held in-camera or be open to media will be finalised and released by that date.

The hearing of the proceedings was confirmed to commence on December 15, 2014, to continue for a number of days prior to Christmas and then resume on January 12, 2015. A suitable venue for the hearing is being finalised.

The AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal panel for these cases consists of Chairman Mr David Jones, a former County Court Judge, Mr John Nixon, a former County Court Judge with extensive experience in sports tribunals, and Mr Wayne Henwood, a barrister and former VFL player.

I disagree, ASADA obviously prefer to say nothing, but they've been given no choice.
We've had everyone from Rohan Connolly to Shane Carter drumming home the message that ASADA is incompetent, their case is falling apart, they are fabricating evidence etc. all rising to a crescendo in the past week.
ASADA had to get on the front foot and fill the airspace. Have done it calmly and professionally too, lot of respect for these guys.

I hope it's not the same AFL tribunal we put up with during the last season. If it is then anything could happen, especially if they are "not bound by the rules of evidence" as the article says.

Let's hope it's an open hearing so that Dank appears to tell the tribunal that TB4 isn't banned...

The Pierik article is a bit confused. The stuff he quotes Hardie saying about TGA and compounding and manufacturing all applied to S0 and AOD.

Did the sea kayakers find the dog s**t and reconstituted the letters?

Or how it was really thymomodulin and he prescribed it indiscriminately for a whole team

What's the old saying about arses and elbows?
