Will that extend back to the late 80s and early 90s?
I think they will go as far back as they can, but I don't know if they will find any links to anything in the 80's or 90's. That is far too far away.


PS, I know you're making assertions about WC, but I don't care. Check out the size of the guns on those birds. Must have been on gear.

I dunno, the size of the muscles on the eagle on the left looks pretty suss......

Clenched teeth and manic expressions strongly suggest they are on the gear.

Demetriou treaded VERY carefully there on the Essendon question when asked whether it came to light because the AFL was investigating them. A couple of decided pauses there. Warranted, but in those silences holds chapters of information he's keeping tight lipped on.

Can't wait for the next chapter. It's moving faster than The Hobbit!
Wow you read all that from a 1 second pause.

I'll say it again. Maybe if I say this enough times it will sink in.
Subcutaneous and intramuscular injections are not banned under WADA unless the substance is on the prohibited list.
In this case the nurse appears to have delivered "subcutaneous injections". No problem unless the substance itself is banned.

What WADA have banned are "intravascular infusions" of any substance. These are commonly known as drips.
Remember when the Brisbane Lions rehydrated with drips at half time in 2001?
This was an example of an IV infusion and is banned by WADA, even though the substance was just water (and salt).
There is no problem with injections at all - it is just a media frenzy unless the substance itself was banned.

See WADA guidelines ...
http://www.wada-ama.org/Documents/S...ical_info_IV_infusions_v.2.2_March2010_EN.pdf

Intravenous injections with a simple syringe are permitted if the injected substance is not prohibited, the volume does not exceed 50 mL, and the intravenous injections are given at intervals equal or greater than six hours.
So? The point here is supposed to be about banned substances...

I imagine Essendon hopes that this is resolved ASAP regarding their club so they can focus on the season. Can't imagine if an investigation continues entering the season that the distraction will be healthy for focusing on footy.

Now watch the media go on a frenzy naming clubs, codes and anything they can find... it'll be "Koschitzke allegedly raped someone" all over again.
