Channel 9 has learnt that Essendon officials took the extraordinary step last season of presenting players with documents, asking them to sign and therefore take responsibility for any substances taken as part of the Bombers’ fitness program.

It is known some Essendon players had major problems with being asked to sign the document. One of the men behind the fitness program, sports scientist Stephen Dank, has since parted with the club.

Not good to hear about this, but multiple users is even worse.

 

[essendon2008]

This is not sounding good.

Would like a clean out of all the cheaters at the club if all of this is true.

from the msn article http://wwos.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=8605158

A former Essendon player has told Channel 9 that the club knew it was pushing the boundaries with its program.

"From what they were saying, it was right on the borderline of what they were going to give us," he said.
"Everyone signed it, it was a personal choice as to whether they took it. " ... it does seem very odd the type of stuff we were taking. "They admitted to us it was right on the edge of the levels you could be taking."

so it doesn't sound like we've created a massive epo programme or anything. could be a slap on the wrist for us or less. main impact might be on the sports scientists around the AFL. demetriou's annoyance with them are well known...

Essendon has confirmed to the Herald Sun that it sacked its sports science guru Stephen Dank late last year amid concerns about his conduct with players.
It has emerged Dank was the major casualty from Essendon's calamitous 2012 season which saw the cub slip from second to 10th on the AFL ladder in 11 weeks.
The Herald Sun can reveal Dank raised the ire of the club chiefs over his performance.
Essendon will hold a press conference at AFL House at 2.45pm AEDT.
