Mega Thread All AOD-9604 Discussion - Still Illegal but ASADA will not press charges on AOD9604 - McDevitt

[The Dodger]

All of Essendon's lies are quickly unraveling.

Sounds like it will be over soon.

Get the lawyers out and argue about the true meaning of s0, quickly.

 

[Underdog]

Can you or someone else please start a thread titled 'Essendon knew all along that AOD 9604 was illegal'

I would but I am not allowed to start threads yet.

Yeah, I think this is worthy of a new thread. It's the drug developers advice to the club.

 

[The Dodger]

People even as well informed as Caro et al keep intimating that the players will get off. I can't see how they can. This sort of stuff is damning as all get out, even before one considers all the other drugs potentially involved.

It has to be that ASADA are going to try and give them the no fault because of Dank's (+others) deception. Wonder if WADA believe it?

 

[Oneiros]

Reading that article now - y'all remind me to never piss Baker & McKenzie off?

 

[Keys]

So many questions

So few answers

This is going to be one hell of a report when it comes out

 

[questionable]

the letter!

The spokesman said the club had instead relied on an email sent to its former sports scientist Stephen Dank by the company that developed the drug and which ''specially references that AOD9604 is not a banned substance by any drug-testing authority''.

...it's from metabolic. ahahaha

 

[PieBeast]

the letter!




...it's from metabolic. ahahaha

WADA tells Dank to check with ASADA but instead Dank "trusts" an email from the manufacturers.

The biggest lie from Essendon bites the dust, not long before the whole club follows suit.

the letter!




...it's from metabolic. ahahaha

Surely not...

 

[Bubbalicious]

And the winner is.........Fairfax!

 

[Bubbalicious]

Who is the "still serving" Essendon official referred to???

Corcorann, Reid or ...Hird?

 

[Bubbalicious]

and the legendary email (re legality) has come from the drug company...not bloody ASADA as Essendon were having us believe!!!!

Sorry - as acknowledged in one of Questionables previous post ;-)

 

[The Dodger]

the letter!




...it's from metabolic. ahahaha

Now lets not be quick to judge here.
Scan that letter photoshop ASADA on the header and the dastardly Dank has done it again.

It says a company document!

 

[PieBeast]

How do you know this email wasn't written by someone from ASADA? /mxett

ASADA investigators have seized documents found inside the Essendon Football Club's headquarters that claim the anti-obesity drug at the centre of the doping inquiry was being used by bodybuilders as a "safe alternative" to banned human growth hormones.
The documents were given to Essendon in 2012, written by the Melbourne firm that developed the drug and asserted that if the product was "legal" its use would be more widespread.

The paper shredder option was just plain lazy....they should have gone with a fire...

 

[nut]

The only spin now will be a spiral dive.................

 

[ziad]

this is the old, if it doesn't improve players why use it and pay all that money for it

 

[Suma Magic]

If true, this is bad news.

If the part about reliance on the email is true, that's pretty funny.

 

[Spongebob]

I think the spokesperson may not be there too much longer, because this is not the story they want

[SwampCreature]

I thought the email was from ASADA? Otherwise... What good is an assertion of legality from a company attempting to sell you a that very product?

AFL wants to bring forward the start to the season next year to match NRL start by four weeks.....

9 x 22 = 198 + 1 bye = 23 rounds

8 x 25 = 200( and the TV deal is matched) + 2 byes = 27 rounds ...... need an extra 4 weeks. Hmmmmmm

Who wants to bet me Ess wont be playing next season?

 

[tigerdan]

Personally I think the information has been known all along by Baker and MacKenzie (and Wilson). They have milked this story to perfection (from a newspaper point of view), giving Essendon and Hird just enough rope to slowly hang themselves.

I think this is why Wilson has been so forthright, because she knew which cards were going to be dealt all along.

Essendon are really stuffed.

Very good observation. It also matches what was stated on another sub forum about them being banned for next year.
