When news reporting is hijacked by opinion

This sums it up for me:

But to merge opinion within news stories is to create a dangerous union indeed. It can create a myth that people mistake as fact.

That is what has happened too often throughout this sorry saga. While it’s been a hell of a story, it’s hard to tell just which parts of it are true and which parts should be banished to a fiction book ‘based on a true story.’

A very interesting sideshow to the main event >

@Crooksy_1 @vitvargen Bock has not been charged. Ben McDevitt should explain why not.


Have to wonder at the AFL's / ASADA's handling of that??

Perhaps they'll try and explain it away by claiming they were after Mr Big

Seeing that he's still coaching and playing in the neafl for southport

 

[damochandler]

Bock is still playing in the neafl and coaching southport

 

[rumply]

so there was nothing on Dank today?

 

[efcboy]

Bock is still playing in the neafl and coaching southport

To quote Dank "well that's just baffling"

 

[Walesy]

To quote Dank "well that's just baffling"

Mind boggling.

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

To quote Dank "well that's just baffling"

That's bye,bye to Asada and Wada appealing.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

so he'll be banned for life. ASADA get to chalk up a win. No impact on appeal against players.

It's a neat little bow really.

 

[jmoo wan]

Reeeeeeeeally looking forward to seeing the detail of the several charges he has been found guilty of

 

[Amazing Bombers]

To the hot topic board I go.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

The AFL anti-doping tribunal has found Stephen Dank guilty on several charges, however he has been cleared on three charges relating to banned substance Thymosin Beta 4.

The tribunal was not comfortably satisfied that Dank had administered or attempted to administer Thymosin Beta 4 to various Essendon players, nor that he had assisted, encouraged, aided, abetted or covered up administration of the peptide.

This follows the tribunal's decision last month to clear the 34 current and former Essendon players of taking the banned substance on the basis that there was insufficient evidence.

This follows the tribunal's decision last month to clear the 34 current and former Essendon players of taking the banned substance on the basis that there was insufficient evidence.

Dank, the sports scientist at the centre of the 16-month long investigation into Essendon's supplements program during the 2012 season has maintained that he never gave the players Thymosin Beta 4, despite telling Fairfax Media in an interview two years ago that he had supplied the drug.

Dank later contacted Fairfax Media to clarify that he had given the players Thymosin Alpha, also known as Thymomodulin, which is not banned.

The Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority has until Tuesday to appeal the decision handed down in favour of the 34 players. Once that time has elapsed, the World Anti-Doping Authority has a further three weeks to challenge the verdict.

More to come

 

[Jade]

****ing LOL.

 

[Lance Uppercut]

WADA appeal

 

[baz_machine]

Does anyone even care anymore?

 

[efcboy]

So EFC have essentially been cleared of anything relating to anti-doping matters concerning both TB4 and AOD9604. Should never have been removed from 2013 final series. Draft picks is debatable and I can accept a fine for some governance failings but would like more consistency and transparency with other club governance failings being penalised in comparison with EFC.

 

[baz_machine]

Oh respect AFL releasing it 430 on a Friday afternoon.

Prefect time for no one to give a *****

 

[Don Won]

Justice. It was so obvious that he was injecting and trafficking PEDs to everyone but the 34 Essendon players.

 

[Don Won]

so he'll be banned for life. ASADA get to chalk up a win. No impact on appeal against players.

It's a neat little bow really.

In the movies, the next little scene would be Dank's brakes failing at an inopportune moment on a lovely mountain road.

 

[cymarak]

So when do we find out exactly what Dank has been found guilty of ?

 

[baz_machine]

TB4 has proven more elusive than Saddams WMDs
