Barkly St End 's conclusion that AOD-9064 is not banned under thwe code and to which he can claim vindication from has been specifically and categorically quashed by the former head of ASADA Richard Ings today on SEN where he has reiterated that WADA has said the substance is banned under the code S0 and secondly infractions may be issued at a later time as there is the possibility that an ASADA investigation might go on for another several months as 9 monnths is what it takes up to for certain ASADA doping cases with proof or record of an injection taking place of the banned substance to be investigated/prosecuted.
People need to learn to read properly.
I have never said AOD is not banned - in fact - I have given no opinion on that.
I have said that a charge in relation to AOD would be easily challenged because of "vexed legal issues".
An important distinction.
While boy scouts have been linking us to "so-called" evidence which have amounted to diddly squat, I have always analysed the realpolitik.
By the way - quoting the former head of ASADA is completely irrelevant.
This is what I'm getting at about realpolitik.
Who is the current head? What has she been doing? What has she been saying? On which side is her bread buttered? Whose pocket has she been pi$$ing into? Who is pi$$ing in her pocket? What has been happening to Fahey's language in the last 48 hours? What is the outcome that suits all parties the most with least collateral damage? etc, etc
When this is all done, and the so-called experts' opinions on this board are proven to be a zillion miles off track - I will write you a short piece on how to analyse complex issues with far more accuracy than has occurred in the past six months.
With the indulgence of the community of course.
