ASADA aren't the ADRV, they are independent from ASADA. I believe the department of Health and Dutton oversee any appointments there.

I was ready to slag off ASADA, but it looks like the other department dropped the ball.

Yes but said trials were a crock-of-s**t.
I honestly couldn't care less how long it plays out for, I just want the correct result to be found.
As a fan of numerous sports, there's a lot more at stake than just one or two years worth of annoying headlines..

Quite right. Knowing this was coming up, who has thrown a spanner into the works. Definitely looks like an act of sabotage and it shouldn't be too hard to find out who ordered it.

What can be gained by delaying the hearing?

A more favourable panel, a winding up of the whole thing because its unworkable. Not sure, but how on earth do you let 4 contracts expire with no contingency right when Australia's biggest anti-doping charges are about to be laid?

The whole affair has just made everyone seem so amateur.
Surely WADA won't just let any possible infractions disappear due to corruption?
This really takes the cake. Send an email to the Minister adding your voice of displeasure to mine about the failure of the ADVRP to be able to convene a meeting due to not having enough members.
The Minister's email address is: Minister.Dutton@health.gov.au

WHAT THE ACTUAL???
This is just beyond belief. I can't imagine a scenario where this could occur unless I replace all relevant government officials, administrators and the minister with a half-drunk juicebox!

My email has already gone asking him to stand down immediately from his post. It is completely farcical and reeks of corruption
How he could fail to fill vacancies prior to the most important sitting of the ADVRP in history and leave them in a position to not be able to convene a meeting is so incompetent it defies belief!

Dragging this out again, write off season 2014 as another *Essendon dominated farce. Hand down sanctions 1 week out from 2014 finals series.

Ok... I didnt see that one coming 
But as ODN said, they might be waiting for people more favourably inclined towards Essendon to join the panel before the case is reconvened.

I hope not! You'd hope WADA comes over the top if that's the case.

Sam Newman is deadset senile.
"They're playing that way because they know they've done nothing wrong (sic)."

I refuse to watch the Footy Show for that reason. Everyone knows that Essendon players took WADA banned substances, Sam is an idiot.

So our government has us believe that we have seen the "darkest day in sports in this country", however the one thing stopping an outcome to this debacle is a poorly run government agency that has bullied some atheletes in the past and now that they have to work for their jobs or have failed in their advice to Dank, they quit their positions and then don't have a enough staff to sit one of the most important interviews in sports history. These are the same people who told the AFL that they should be spending more on drug testing as some blood samples were sent over to Germany for testing as there are no facilities here to carry out the testing ????
Someone's butt needs kicking and real hard.
As for Sam Newman, ahh why bother

Stopped watching all football media. There's literally nobody on the television except Bill and Crawf that I can tolerate really. Sadly Bill and Crawf share air time with Sam which makes it a no go and Before The Game has been cancelled.
Stick to Wookie, quality journalists and some of your richard ramblings on here.

Same. I have no time for the boys' club. They're embarrassing to watch.
