I am assuming the adjudicators cannot be AFL or WADA or Essendon aligned. How about persons from sports in competition with AFL?

3. Who will be on the three-person panel?CAS has a list of arbitrators from which it will select a chairperson. It is possible they will appoint somebody in this position from overseas, which they have done before with big cases in Australia. The other two members of the panel are appointed by the two opposing parties – WADA and the group of players. Each is able to nominate one arbitrator from the list available. It highlights how this is distinct from a court case, where no party is able to choose a judge.

The arbitrators must be independent, that is to say have no particular connection with any of the parties, and must not have played any role in the case in question.

It is a strange structure. However I do believe CAS is provided with the full statement of findings from the afl tribunal, so even if this appeal is treated as 'de novo', WADA wouldn't be able to revision the existing evidence.
not so. They can introduce new evidence. And the previous trial is not allowed to be referred to at all, so I doubt any SoF is provided or looked at

I'm just going to chill until 8am next Friday, that's the deadline for WADA to lodge an appeal brief.

P.S Appeal brief may have already been lodged so if that's the case well, F#$K A MCDUCK!
Is this true? Have wada already lodged an appeal brief? What was it that they just came out with that mentioned incorrect interpretation of comfortable satisfaction and the tribunal not giving enough weight to certain evidence.

Thing that pisses me off is that the item they are accused of taking is questionably performance enhancing. They did not win premierships. And it is likely that they were not administered this substance.

There is obviously a much larger agenda here. Get the AFL maybe?
Jobe's Brownlow is the only thing in play.

Beyond that, it has to be agenda driven. As it was with Asada.

Not to mention the charge is that they took the substances unwillingly. It is very strange that this level of resources be directed at a case with extremely flimsy evidence that athletes were unwillingly administered a harmless substance of limited performance enhancing capability.

What about McDeadbeat's press conference comments about not knowing what drugs were administered to our players? Can that be introduced from our side?
no of course not. That was way overblown. They "don't know what we took" because it wasn't proven by the tribunal. If you think about it it would be truly ridiculous to think you could tender that statement as evidence when they had just prior attempted to prosecute an entire case on the use of a specific substance

Let me guess her whole article was based on 'sacking Hird' and he 'needs to take responsibility?' yes we know you hate Hird tell us something we don't know Caro.
Not sure hate is a strong enough word. I certainly won't forget Robbo's statement on SEN about her in a hurry >

"Caroline Wilson is trying to destroy James Hird's life."

Tbh I haven't bothered reading any articles or looking at peoples comments I just really don't care any more.
It's the healthy option.

Ultimately, all the articles, whether by Caro, Robbo, guttersnipe or Fatprick, are just white noise now.

There'll be a hearing. I doubt much ground breaking will happen in regards to the players' fate between now and then, just endless rehashing of old stuff.

Yep

I'm annoyed at how long the process is going to take you don't need a ******* year to set up a hearing and come to a decision.
