Here is the full statement from Stephen Dank's lawyer on his $10mil defamation suit pic.twitter.com/i5Hdqafo

Defamation claims against the Media?

Every bit of media in the world?

its dustin martin. ill bet.

Careful there, you might be getting one of those letters too!

LOL. One bloke at the centre of a PED scandal where he's alleged to have injected players with substances they didn't sign up for. Three blokes with links to bikie gangs and the underworld.

That's outstanding.

They even name the compound.

"Peptide 6."

Listed as banned by ASADA.

An investigation into Dank's business ventures reveals an empire of interlinked biotechnology companies, science consultancy companies, and most importantly, two medical rejuvenation clinics, registered in Victoria and New South Wales. Online, Dank's Medical Rejuvenation Clinic sells a wide variety of supplements, including GHRP6, a supplement promoting muscle growth with similar properties to human growth hormone. Known as Peptide 6, it's rumoured to be the supplement at the centre of the Essendon drug scandal and has been banned by the Australian Anti-Doping Authority.

what would happen if essendon are on top of the ladder in rnd 10 and then they finally find out theyre positive?

We would all lol. That's what would happen.

 

[the distributer]

And he certainly knows less than McVeigh.

Why's that? maybe McVeigh's singing a tune more comfortable to your ears.

Let's push all our differences aside here & think about this.
Should Essendon be found guilty of all this, it somehow doesn't sit right with me that someone of James Hird's character would be punished.
He has given his all to be one of Essendon's greatest ever players. As far as I'm concerned, that MUST count for something.

This bloke shouldn't be pushed away from football should all this become the worse case scenario for Essendon.

Something just wouldn't be right.
There is no way that James Hird would have taken the coaching job at Essendon to knowingly get involved in this type doping.
No way.
He should definitely be given the chance to continue coaching this team.

The Bambi effect....

If Ess are found guilty Hird's position along with many others will be untenable and as a result I doubt any of them will ever work in the AFL ever again. Just because he is a legend of the game doesnt exclude him from any punishment should it deem fit, as it all occurred under his watch.

But how much would you take Thompson or Hird's word after their recent history of lying and backstabbing.

Like I said the Bambi effect

 

[Super Hans]

Oooooh do we have our second club?!?

If it's Richmond and Essendon it would tear the competition apart, two of the big four clubs.

 

[yodellinhank]

On face value I would say it is quite the opposite

Spike was real flog for making personal insults and giving the lame Vitamin C excuse but it appears that Reimers testimony whist not articulate would seem to sugest that the players new something that was not quite right.

And if that is the case

Why didn't they also ask qustions to the

1. The Senior Coaching Staff
2. There Managers
3. The Players Association
4. The Medicos

They did. It is why the forms were issued.

Interesting! If you put the pieces together this does not look good unless it is unrelated, but that seems pretty unlikely!

The Girl With The Dodgy Spelling did tell Richmond supporters to brace themselves for something bad.....

what?

 

[ManWithNoName]

Wouldn't make a difference. Round 10 is just before July. We stop winning then.

 

[Ancient Tiger]

what?

Defamation....

If you are wrong that is....

 

[Flawed Genius]

what?

Be careful about naming names. You wouldn't want to end up as a co-defendant in Dustin Martin's defamation case.

 

[CollingwoodMan]

[Lance Uppercut]

Could be any team including mine. If guilty should be punished too.

That goes without saying.

 

[Ancient Tiger]

Posting on these boards does not make you immune from defamation.

Richmond lawyer sees your posts. Contacts BF and forces them to divulge your IP address. They track you down and sue you for defamation.

More or less.

Nothing. Just saying if its not Martin and someone tells him of this posting he could take you personally to court. That is all.
