Mega Thread AFL to investigate Essendon for controversial fitness program - PART3

[mxett]

Genius - shame Lance Armstrong did not sign a form. He would still be a 7 time tour winner.

Except Armstrong knew he was cheating. The AFL have already stated they believe Essendon players MAY have been given illegal substances without their knowledge. If they signed consents ASADA have stated this may be enough to clear them from wrong doing.

Why does everyone keep referring to what Dank said as if it is absolute fact?

because they know

 

[Bloodstained Bomber]

because they know SFA

efa

Lance said he didn't for 12 years. Dank could roll on Essendon - he is not the most honest up standing person. As for Riemers if he is not getting coached on what to say you never know what will come out if his mouth.

So what you are saying is they are unreliable witnesses even if they did give evidence. Agreed.

 

[Fletched]

Pretty sure it was a combination of Bombers on peptides and the 3 injuries we copped in the 1st quarter. The 2nd meeting between the teams resulting in a 96 belting by the Bullants proved how shite the Bombers are.

Essendon had several injuries in that game as well

 

[snax]

Yep. Except Dank has already said that Essendon players haven't and Reimers wouldn't have a clue and would be absolutely ripped apart in cross examination.

EFA

 

[Achilles Heel]

No it says they were assured that what they were taking was approved by WADA. Every ingredient they were told they were taking was listed.

The only doubt is were they given what they were told they were given...

Mark Mcviegh said they took vitaminc, Dank said the coaches took stuff that was on the baneed list, players will be fine....move on nothing to see

People still defending ? Story doesn't add up since the first time we heard of it, the whole hing never many any sense a lot of different stories.

I know its just crazy.

Some people still think essendon took PEDs when when all the evidence suggests they haven't

Why are people still defending their arguments that essendon took drugs

 

[Forward Press]

To Essendon and non-Essendon supporters alike:

Leave out the personal and off-topic insults.

Thanks.

Because....if he is lying.....you are screwed.....BIG TIME!

Can you give a run down for us poor northerners?

 

[Lance Uppercut]

Can you give a run down for us poor northerners?

Not sure you'll agree frankly, but baking the media for stringing Essendon up without any proof whatsoever

 

[PieBeast]

Newman said nothing of substance whatsoever, apart from "Essendon are great, Evans is great, ASADA and WADA are bad"

I trust Ziggy will be interviewing Sam Newman ?

We didn't really need him to tell us that did we?

I found Petrie's admission he was shocked to hear the players were being injected a lot more revealing.

If he's not the most honest and upstanding person, why does everybody all of a sudden believe him 100% when he said that our coaches were on stuff that was outside the WADA code? BTW, I'm not having a direct go at you.

I'd be shocked if he didn't say that. Why would they want to get involved?

Agreed, why would anyone really need to listen to Petrie?

Fair point - he has little credibility. He knows he brought in substances that should not be given to players - have to the coaches is an easy out. They had to be taken by someone.

 

[PieBeast]

I'd be shocked if he didn't say that. Why would they want to get involved?

He wouldn't have got involved if he said that was a common practice in AFL or he thinks its rare but does happen.

Instead he was shocked to hear anyone does that at all.

 

[RobertRichter]

Petrie has been in the game since 2000. Highly respected player, sat on the AFLPA excec at one stage.

AFL are very much so an organisation concerned about public view, PR.

Do you think the mum of little Johnny is going to take her son to Auskick with bells on when there is discussion about systematic injecting to player's stomachs?

If ASDA don't get you, the AFL will go the 'bringing the game into disrepute' road.

Agree - Essendon 11th looks spot on.
