ok, so let me see if I have this right. Essentially little has changed today, except for a more explicit outline of the charges facing Essendon and another club. There's been no outcome of any investigation, just more information around the one we all knew was going on.
What I will say is that whilst nothing is proved, the nature of the charges Essendon are facing are heinous to say the least, and certainly concerning. I'm not sure I'm too much more concerned than I was yesterday, but IF it is found out that the club gave players illegal performance enhancing drugs then it would reprehensible in the extreme and no sane person could condone it.
I've been pretty strong on the fact that if the club are going to produce legal documents then there is no way in hell you would be using those to cover illegal activity, and I still can't believe they would do that. So that still keeps my confidence high.
But if in fact it does come out that anything like that has occurred, it would be a disgraceful turn of events. I still can't imagine it would be condoned from the top, but regardless, if it turns out that players were administered illegal substances without their knowledge or consent, then the leadership of the club is untenable. That goes without saying, I don't see how anyone could argue otherwise.
Let's see what happens. I'm still pretty comfortable we'll be found to be ok - the outlining of an investigation is not the outcome of the investigation, and posters should do well to remember that
