News Dons ASADA scandal (Latest: Pg 101 - CAS verdict. Guilty, 12 months.)

[MarkT2]

Surely Hird and the bombers can sue the AFL now to recoup costs.

Be a dangerous move. No one wants to end up under oath in court. Marion Jones went to jail for perjury in the Balaco investigations.

Or the fix is in.

Verdict will be appealed. Long way to go yet.

I don't think it's a fix, I think it's just utter incompetence.

So the AFL is not satisfied that the players were administered with AOD. So Jobe Watson confessing to it on national television wasn't enough?

It's not about AOD, it's been off the table for a long time.

Dank outwitted ASADA, here's the phone transcript..........

Dank: Hey is AOD on the banned list?

ASADA dude: No..............

Dank: (hangs up)

ASADA dude: ........but its not approved for human consumption, if falls under the S0 category...hello...hello.......



They are very tricksy you know!

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

Nooooooooo, we're not satisfied they were administered anything. Not at all.

 

[NT.Thunder]

I guess we are the only real drug concerns for the AFL now - shit, that escalated quickly! LOL

 

[TradeDraft]

I HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT FOR THE AFL AND OUR GREAT GAME IS NOW A OFFICAL JOKE

 

[TradeDraft]

There is a Fix - The Dickheads in the AFL are to Scared hurt the Comp by Killing off the Drug Cheats

 

[Maggie5]

Losers out of this - AFL and all supporters
Winners - Hird and Essendon.

 

[DWil6]

I think we should rename the drug scandal to the 'vitamin scandal' now they they are innocent. Much fairer on James and co.

I will say this here away from the main board I think there was a cover up. The 3 key witness all got out of providing evidence. I always thought that was wrong if they had nothing to hide they would not of been afraid of the court

They'd be dumb to do so in my view as that would then allow defence (now AFL/ASADA) to subpoena Dank, Charters and Alavi. Tribunal didn't have these powers.

 

[hellfire]

Did they take PEDs? Yep. Did they test positive? No. It's not a "just" outcome but it is probably the right outcome for the players given the circumstances. Maladministration has been punished already, and that's all that could be proven they were guilty of.

Time to move on and enjoy the footy!

 

[popin]

Got that right. Been playing a bit lately, almost broke 40 for the first time the other week over 9 holes, but then hit a double bogey on the last hole

nice work

Alot easier to rub out 2 players from one team then to rub out 30.

That's all.

SO AFL and ASADA should Dis-Band?

SPOT ON - They did not want to lose the Bummers because the AFL would lose so much money

 

[Old Spice]

You shred the evidence or the dog ate it is clearly world's best practice.

The lesson here is that Demetriou was stupid to try and help Hird who threw him under the bus. Should have let ASADA swarm on the club. Live and learn.

When it goes to the Court of Arbitration for Sport they will have increased powers to subpoena them

Shows that People where Right about ANDY D - He was an Idiot

 

[PIEWITHSAUCE]

How predictable was this? Like most AFL decisions it was all about one thing - the AFL's bank balance. How could they possibly shoot themselves in the foot by banning most of the Essendon list.

How it proceeds from here depends on how much they've pissed off ASADA - and whether ASADA's incompetence impacts their ability to appeal.

The real winner is Chief

Didn't Watson admit to taking a banned substance? I know it's not like being tested positive

Spot On - AFL was shit Scared to Loose $$$$$


As $$$ Rules the World

Also I didn't like the fact it was so hush hush and the trail was shut to the media. In criminal law this normally will only happen in sexual crimes so it is easier on the victim to give there evidence and any trail in the children's court
