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

[Big Fozza]

didn't WADA tell Dank that it could fall under S0? even though she checked the list on s2. I'm confused???

 

[Randomizor]

i don't know i just turned on 360. Gerard and Robbo were saying it was a certain fact. All over twitter too

Fair enough. I'll still wait for a statement from WADA or ASADA though.

 

[Armchair Critic]

Is it wrong to have a strong urge to punch Dr. Garnham? The smarmy ****.

Gerard looks like he is about to ejaculate every time he has a scoop

 

[simoro1]

right because it was the AFL that said it was going to charge the players for breaching anti doping rul....no wait they didnt.

they have allegedly been sitting on information that AOD9604 was not banned. Leaving the club and players (and fans) in the dark.

"The governing body has determined it's banned and it has been banned since the 1st January, 2011."

- Richard Ings

But the advice the governing body gave was it didn't fall under S2 and as they did that they can't go back and class it under S0 for that time frame. From here on out they can but the advice they gave back then has cleared the Bombers on AOD

Here we go from WADA

 

[Zerg]

Basically they are going to get off on a technicality.

Technicality= ASADA telling multiple AFL employees, Dank and the EFC that AOD is not a prohibited substance.

 

[happy_eagle]

Didn't this investigation move on from being about substances some time ago ?

I've a feeling everyone knew this. That's why the Essendon PR campaign has been so hell-bent on getting the substance AOD on everyone's minds.

At one point in the investigation, release the information about AOD not being banned and come off looking drug-free. It conveniently ignores the other suspected drugs used though.

Not for this whole board accusing us of being cheats every ****ing day.

 

[loki04]

Who says anything about getting off? This isn't the only substance taken.

I know it's not but I smell a massive cover up going on here.

ASADA have proven to be incompetent.

 

[Big Fozza]

BUT we've seen the emails telling Dank from WADA to check S0 even though it wasn't under s2. that seems in direct contradiction to what they are saying on 360

Settle everyone. AOD banned by WADA since 2011

This is going to be gold.

 

[Jay Masten]

Basically they are going to get off on a technicality.

Athlete: can I use Such n such??
ASADA: Yes yes yes

Doesn't sound to technical to me

 

[Defacto]

been over it. i really dont see the scoop, it sounds like an representation of essendons argument but i just cant see it holding up

very weak argument

 

[Tiger71]

Haha look at the essendon minnows screaming halalouia. When AOD is only 1 section of the other 24 charges. When realisation hits, it's going to be glorious

 

[Boxhead_31]

this sounds like the argument black cat and various posters on the essendon board were arguing

i'll believe this when we get a response from ASADA and WADA. to date WADA has said it is definitely banned under S0. i'll go with that, rather than whatley

But the AFL doctor who is on the drug tribunal got the same advice from ASADA.
The Bomber players won't be charged for AOD use unless ASADA can fire up the Delorian and change their past advice.

Yes, that is absolutely appalling. Although, it has been speculated for many months that this was the case,and Essendon have been confident since April on this and have told their parents and players that. Players have known this position since they were interviewed, so robbos tyrade was a little misplaced I thought.

 

[Ron The Bear]

You are absolutely drowning here mate.

Don't think so. At the very least, Essendon jabbed its players full of junk not cleared for human use.

But the advice the governing body gave was it didn't fall under S2 and as they did that they can't go back and class it under S0 for that time frame. From here on out they can but the advice they gave back then has cleared the Bombers on AOD

Where is Essendon's written clearance?

Leaving Jobe Watson and the Essendon Football Club out to dry. Allowing the media to run with a poisonous narrative when they've bloody known all along?!? He has the audacity to question the governance of Essendon?

If this comes unstuck for him, like it has the possibility of doing, it won't do him any good for quite awhile i would think.

Correct.

No the technicality according to Whately is that it fell under both S0 and S2 categories depending on which body you asked ASADA/WADA.

Robbo is just upset, like most of the media, that he bought into (and added fuel) to the narrative.
