34 players served with show cause notices purely for thymosin beta 4 which is completely banned.

Essendon players have no idea what they were injected with. How will they prove they didn't have thymosin beta 4? I don't see how they can.

They are GAWNNNNNNNN.
And if they start pulling out documentation that says that they were not taking TB4, ASADA is going to say... in your affidavit you stated that you didnt know whether you received TB4 and there was no documentation as to what you were given. Please tell us where you got this evidence from that wasnt submitted prior to this.

So what happens from here ? I don't know anything about the ASADA procedures.
They have a couple of weeks to respond with reasons why they should not be infracted. If they can't come up with anything they get infraction notices and go to a special AFL tribunal hearing to have their case heard and penalty decided.

And when they get to the AFL tribunal it will be "Well, there is no actual proof that you took anything banned... so we are going to hit you with a massive 2 year suspended sentence... hows that suit you?"

On face value have got away with AOD use, but those who know say it would not have made any difference to the penalty, so serious is TB4. For the high jump they are.

Hang on...........don't ASADA announce the penalties????

Quite frankly I'm lost on all this.

It is a bit tough to keep up isn't it.
I'm taking it one process at a time.
Essendon players have 10 days to respond to the show cause notices.
For the Welcome Back Kotter fans out there I wonder how many are going to be returned signed Epstein's Mother?? :)

Nope... ASADA recommend penalties... the AFL tribunal act on the recommendations or implement their own penalties.
Okay then, assuming there is no impartiality, there's players (Monfries, Crameri), who have since left the club........the Essendon boys are having their legals taken care of, what about those two, assuming they are mentioned?
