EFC players: Comfortable satisfaction not reached.

[Obese Arachnid]

So far I predicted correctly, now just need the crowd fights & I'm batting 100.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I haven't been following the whole saga so I don't know the proper situation.
Can WADA still come over the top of this or is it all done?

Yes, they can appeal. It is a tribunal not a court. WADA can appeal to CAS, however surely they would need 'new evidence'. They had 3 years to get this evidence and they still had 'insufficient'. Not sure an appeal will help.

The tribunal determined that there was insufficient evidence to uphold the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority's belief that the 34 past and present Bombers were injected with the banned drug Thymosin beta-4 during 2012.

U mad?

 

[kreglze]

I can hear paper shredding sales going up 1000%

 

[Dan Cooper]

I knew it. Everything the past month has suggested this would be the outcome. And now for the appeals.

Bring 'em on

 

[Malifice]

Good, can we move on now...

I highly doubt that.

I expect an appeal.

 

[byronstjames]

Huge mistake by the AFL. WADA are taking this to CAS where the AFL have zero say or power.

Two year suspensions for all. Will probably take another year to get that far...

Source?

 

[Red Black and Blue]

It's delicious.

David Grace says the avenue for the players is playing this weekend. He's off to see the players now. Won't comment on possibly ASADA appeal

 

[The Falcon Strike]

AFL conflict of interest as usual. Corrupt as fk organisation

I don't think this has anything to do with the AFL - I think their role and independence of the tribunal is solid

IF Essendon have got away with it, then it is due to the shambolic nature of the operation.

However the Jury have simply found there is no evidence of cheating - this could be simply due to the fact cheating hasn't occurred

 

[rdhopkins2]

Come on down WADA.

The tribunal determined that there was insufficient evidence to uphold the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority's belief that the 34 past and present Bombers were injected with the banned drug Thymosin beta-4 during 2012.

What I really want to know is about the case against Dank. Was there enough evidence regarding those to be upheld?

 

[Randomizor]

So cleared of TB4. How many other drugs do ASADA have evidence of?

 

[Dan Cooper]

You spelt Caro wrong

Yes Caro was wrong. But she's sorry...

 

[Malifice]

Well done you.

He was dealt with.

 

[The Sultan]

Think it may be lost in the not guilty, Essendon still ran a black ops system of injecting who knows what.

 

[Jobe Watson]

Thank God justice prevailed in the end.

Now we can move on and talk about the real cheats.

 

[bombers21]

Great day to be alive isn't it

 

[aCunningPlan]

Really don't understand how people can judge Essendon guilty when the club have said time and time again they have witheld crucial evidence to enter the public domain. This judgement has been made with all evidence at hand and the players have been found not guilty. Really hope this is the moment we all move on.

 

[Nightowl]

What a joke. Absolute disgrace.

Surely a deal was done to protect the integrity of the AFL

Ah. what integrity??

 

[Leezorr]

Hopefully this is the end of it, but for some reason i doubt it.

 

[manureid]

Please let this be over now.

 

[Masto]

will the truth come out now?

Depends on appeal I think.

 

[The_Reaper]

Well it is what it is.

Still looking forward to the full report though
