Essendon's Problem Doesn't Exist - Dank

[erbenz]

DW: So has Essendon got a problem?
SD: I don't think that Essendon have got a problem at all. Might I add this discussion with WADA and ASADA happened after previous long discussions between Metabolic Pharmaceuticals and the Australian drug testing laboratory.
DW: And if you are asked in court?
SD: That is exactly what I will say. I have been consistent on that. I have never said at any stage that I had a letter saying it was permissible to use because that letter was never going to be forthcoming from WADA. WADA don't issue those letters. And I have an email from December 2012 that confirms they are only an advisory body. That was confirmed with me in previous conversations.
DW: How can you explain Essendon's reaction then?
SD: At the end of the day, Essendon think they have a problem. I don't think they have a problem. They are working overtime to ensure that problem is erased. It's a problem that I don't think exists.

But the email he has doesn't say that they are.

Interesting article from Danny Wiedler.

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/essendons-problem-doesnt-exist-dank-20130504-2izzw.html

I don't see at all how Essendon cannot have a problem.

 

[Dustin Credible]

Interestingly no mention of S0, which was specifically mentioned in the WADA email.

More obfuscation.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

So now there's no letter or email from WADA or ASADA saying AOD9604 is permitted.....

And apparently he never said he had one, though Essendon and Melbourne are saying they were shown one.....

Oh dear.....

 

[Redlight]

What that boils down to is that Dank claims that AOD doesn't contravene the S2 schedule of prohibited drugs. However other sources are saying AOD is prohibited and has been since 2011.

According to Dank;
If AOD does not contravene S2, does that mean you can use it?
SD: Of course, because it is not on the prohibited list.

​

According to the Age;​

'WADA issued a statement last week saying AOD-9604 is a banned substance.'​

Dank makes no denial of it being used, he just disputes that it's banned. If it is prohibited the Bombers are screwed.

[DrEvil]

Uh Oh. Essendon are f***ed.

DW: Have you ever said you have an email that gives you permission to use AOD?
SD: I have never said I have had permissions. I've always said that I have an email that it does not contravene S2.

[the distributer]

WTF? it might not be an S2, but it is an S0, both not permitted for athletes, no problem? lol.

 

[Redlight]

It comes down to his claim that AOD is legal. He is basically admitting to using it.

The problem is that WADA says it's prohibited.

Oh oh.

 

[the distributer]

Playing dumb is a last resort.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

But Essendon and Melbourne say they were shown a letter.....

 

[Defacto]

Uh Oh. Essendon are f***ed.

yeap, pretty much.

notice how the tone of even the most optimistic and staunch essendon supporters has started to change

wow. looks like its curtains. i was worried this case wouldnt be sorted before finals, but gee it looks like it'll be sorted before then.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

It's more and more like the twilight zone. Where's the reality stop and the story start?

 

[blue harvest]

So it looks like it is now "Stephen I don't have a record of the phone call Dank"

 

[15hodge]

Looks like there was nothing to worry about after all. Woah!

no thats a surprise Dank wont talk to the AFl

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Playing dumb is a last resort.

It seems like he actually thinks he's outsmarted everyone. I'm sure WADA will be very amused.

Fantastic!!!


Hang are we taking Danks word on this one or not ..... I can't remember as we flop between calling him a liar or basing an argument on something he's said.

You guys earned this:

Taking his word or not, the fact is if this letter/email of approval doesn't exist, your club is f***ed.

So your saying that we shouldnt believe Dank when he says he doesnt have a permission letter, a letter that no body can prove existed because they never took a copy?

I don't know I can't keep with you guys.

 

[TheyCallMeNafan]

Dank is starting to sound like a character out of a Douglas Adams novel.

wheres the popcorn machine, something tells me the next couple of months is going to be great mxett pazza fishardansin Lance Uppercut reading

 

[LifeSpan-Void]

The hypocrisy by these jealous flogs is hilarious.

Right or wrong, guilty or innocent, your club has got its neck on the block right now. Do you honestly expect anything other than a boot to the throat by opposition supporters? This is how war works mate. As superficial as the hostilities can be between sports teams in a supposedly civil society, the psychology doesn't change.

 

[carlton2dabone]

I don't know I can't keep with you guys.

Heres the thing, it might turn out that Dank really did dupe your club but the real destroyers of your club are Hird, Reid and Evans because they failed at the most basic due diligence by not taking a copy of alleged letter.
