Shocked to be sitting here.
Dank says he will still fight out an appeal in court.

Not sure where "sideways" is, what court would consider hearing this and how would he fund an action/appeal?
"...
More than 20 charges - including all those relating to the alleged administering of banned drugs to AFL players - were dismissed.
His AFL-issued life ban automatically precludes him from working in any other sport that is a signatory to the World Anti-Doping Agency code.
With Dank’s lifetime ban remaining in place, McDevitt said ASADA had withdrawn its cross-appeal.

As it is sports related, he has exhausted/ wasted the appeal process that was immediately available here.
I guess he could go to CAS as that is the final appeal path for sports that are a signatory to the World Anti-Doping Agency code, perhaps for a document review initially, but I can't see much of a likelihood that he would do this based on the risk of costs. Expect that CAS would likely decline a full appeal?
If he did try that on though, I would then expect (hope!) that WADA would come back to appeal the 20 counts that were dismissed by the AFL, as CAS have already upheld the findings that the players doped/were doped.
I would still like to see WADA do this to close out the management responsibility side/source of the saga, although they have more pressing priorities at the moment.
As it would be de novo, I'd be interested to see if they went beyond just Dank, to others that were involved/negligent (some of whom have been job-placed, pensioned off or payed off).
I think this would be the best form of justice for the players. They didn't seek to dope, but they were negligent in their responsibilities and that allowed a situation where they were doped - some accountability for those that setup, encouraged (both directly or indirectly) and then ran the doping program.

Good luck to him finding a court that believes it has jurisdiction and willing to hear the case.
Think he be hard pressed to show he was denied procedural fairness which probably be the basis of any court action to get them to hear the appeal.

I fail to see a court that would entertain this jester also.
He might get a gig in Russia or China though for a supplements company.

Yep, or he could open a "gym"somewhere in South East Asia.

That's better.
A chapter in the book: "I was hard on James Hird".
Anyone interested in starting a petition for all media agencies to not publish any further stories on this scumbag? I surely can't be the only one that never wants to see/hear from him ever again.
