well their legal team failed them terribly. They should have refused to answer questions at the time and if the AFL threatened them with action they could have taken it to court
The AFL initially told them they would not be facing suspensions though. They were duped into forgoing their rights on this basis.

However the club and players should have had this inked and dried, legalised etc in writing. You can't trust the word of incompetent corrupt scumbag fools like Demetriou and McLachlan.

Sure they were let down by the AFL, their legal team, and their club, but in the end if they are banned it will be based on their own version of the truth

You'd hope so but forgive me for having little faith in the system given the brazen skulduggery we've endured for 2 years now.

I wonder if the players even know what the truth is? Suppose for a minute Dank did dupe the club and the players - and I believe that is a real possibility - where does that leave the players in terms of being able to supply accurate accounts of what took place?

It had been mention before...but I wonder if a journo out there is collaborating a book/s about the whole case?
Does anyone know if something is in the pipelines?

Posted on the HTB, I thought it was an error of judgement by Go Blues to post the alleged excerpt. I wonder now about the intentions of the poster,seeing he is still discussing it in fairly specific terms on the HTB. There is something wrong with the world when this information finds itself on a public forum.

Can you please put up a link to this post?

Edit: Never mind, I found it. It did occur to me that Dank, apparently not having a clue about the status of TB4 himself, may have injected it into the players and told them it was fine. I'm sure we'll find out in time. If true, it means that the naivety of all concerned knew no bounds.

After ASADA's efforts over the past 2 years, no player will ever say anything else.
ASADA have done what theyre supposed to do, investigate, and take information from player testimonies to determine if a there is a possible case of doping. Now we have to trust that the tribunal members will make the correct decision

Yes after two years of relentless investigation, unending media scrutiny, legal cases, challenges, club penalties, health scares, coach changes and personal heartache and pain; after all that one player has said 'well shit, yeah I was injected with TB4......'

Seems legit.
wouldnt be the first time someone has sung when crunch time arrived.
