Assuming you're talking about this:




It's done. Everyone moved on. Even with the sworn testimony, Dank has proven to be untrustworthy. He had all these years to assist and NOW he provides a sworn testimony years after careers were ruined and reputations damaged?

It won't amount to anything anyway and even if it does, we don't benefit from it.

Pages of Affidavits are working a treat for Rudi so Dank may as well give them a shot

Dank has been bankrupted, shot at and charged with fraud since the ASADA fiasco.

The idea that an affidavit sworn by him, which presumably contains his ‘recollections’ only and doesn’t exhibit any of the documents he said would exonerate the players seven years ago, will have any bearing now is pure fantasy.

Whole thing was sad but even most Essendon supporters have moved on. Really wonder what possesses people like this after all these years.
 
New Essendon president Paul Brasher says the club won’t try and clear the names of players and staff who were caught up in the supplement saga, saying it would be “a distraction from our work on the field”.

Brasher has succeeded Lindsay Tanner as the Bombers president and in response to a question from a fan at Essendon’s virtual Annual General Meeting this week he said trying to change the outcome of the ASADA (now Sport Integrity Australia) investigation would not be in the club’s best interests.

“Members have heard me say before that our absolute focus is on winning games of football and putting this club in the best position to have on field success and not to have anything get in the way of that,” he said.

“We believe to revisit the ASADA decision to get involved in that again would be a distraction, it would be a distraction from our work on field and it’s something that we don’t intend to do.”

Stand by for a Bruce rant

A secret document used to charge 34 Essendon players with anti-doping violations is being sought at a tribunal hearing on Monday.
Sport Integrity Australia is fighting the release of a key piece of evidence used to ban the Bombers players from the game and label them as drug cheats.

Campaigner Bruce Francis is taking the body to the Administrative Appeals Tribunal in Brisbane at 10am.
He is seeking the release of the “CEO Recommendation Show Cause Pack”.

It is understood that the AFL will give evidence supporting Sport Integrity Australia, the body that replaced the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority, seeking to keep the document secret.

The AFL is expected to argue that releasing the document will compromise its relationship with the sport watchdog.

The CEO Recommendation Show Cause Pack was partly based on ASADA’s official briefing to the Anti-Doping Review Violation Panel.

That panel needed to sign off on any charges against players.

The most likely reason is that they are actually PROTECTING Essendon and also the AFL because it will show the latter knew a lot more than came out in the press. Essendon also would not want to go through this again just when some people had started to forget it and are looking to the future.

More than likely there are privacy issues for those involved.

Why should they give their information to some senile old busy body who's got nothing to do with the case?

It would be an absolute hoot if he did win his case and it turned out that the beans were fully spilled.
