I cant help but feel this is all a crock of sh!t... The match fixing, the drug taking, it's all being blown up to something that it is not! Essendon are a professional club and they understand the implications of conducting such illegal practices, I will be very very surprised if it gets proved that they used illegal substances. I mean really, the only steroid (performance enhancer) that will really benefit footballers is EPO purely and simply for the improvement of ones aerobic capacity. I am positive that in the off season footballers who travel to do month long holidays in Thailand are certainly jabbing and running cycles over there where it is legally purchased over the counter, we would be naive to think this does not happen. But during the season I really don't think it is possible to have any form of illegal administering of performance enhancers, even so unless it is a form of anabolic steroid I don't think it is an issue.
