Mega Thread Hot Topic - Drugs and AFL

It would be prudent to wait until he returns to training in September, then we can work out what sort of contract we're going to give him. He may not want to play on.

Or the Swiss court could throw out the WADA ruling and Monfries and Ryder would be free to return to our system.

Lots of things could happen between now and then. So we need to wait and see what the best way forward is.

It's also prudent to see which of our players steps up. If Young is able to mantain form in the HFF role and Palmer continues to progress whatever contract we offer Gus would be less than if Young does nothing the rest of the year and Palmer goes nowhere.

BANNED sports scientist Stephen Dank on Tuesday night sensationally said he had supplied former Gold Coast Suns star Nathan Bock with the prohibited peptide CJC-1295.

He was an Adelaide Crows star, just a Gold Coast player.

If ASADA don't change their mind and go after Bock and others now that Dank has admitted he gave Bock CJC-1295, then Ben McDevitt has to be sacked!!

Stephen Dank says he supplied Nathan Bock with WADA-banned drug CJC-1295

UPDATE: ASADA plans to reassess its case against Nathan Bock after Stephen Dank’s sensational claims he supplied the Gold Coast Suns defender with the prohibited peptide CJC-1295.

Banned sports scientist Dank on Tuesday night said he had supplied Bock with the prohibited peptide CJC-1295.

“ASADA considers all information relating to potential anti-doping violations, and this new information, particularly its veracity, will be assessed by our investigation unit,” the anti-doping body said in a statement today.

“Mr Dank’s alleged admissions overnight are starkly at odds with his previous position on the matter, as ASADA notes he is currently appealing the AFL Tribunal’s finding that he attempted to traffic CJC-1295 to the Gold Coast Suns.

“ASADA needs reliable evidence and testimony in order to be able to bring forward cases of possible anti-doping violations.” It’s believed ASADA contacted Dank today in light of the revelations but he refused to talk to them.

Dank told the Herald Sun he bought the drug at a Sydney compounding pharmacy in December 2010 and took it to the Gold Coast on a plane in a cooler bag packed with dry ice. He said he gave the CJC-1295 to then Suns fitness boss Dean Robinson, who taught Bock how to self-administer it. “I bought it at the Belgrave pharmacy in Sydney and delivered it to Robinson’s house,” Dank said. “From there, Robinson demonstrated to Bock how to use it and instructed him accordingly.” Asked whether there was any doubt the drug he supplied Bock was the WADA banned CJC-1295, Dank replied: “No. There is no doubt in my mind.” Dank’s confession came as the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority on Tuesdayinsisted it was unable to establish whether the drug Bock used was actually CJC-1295.

Good luck getting anyone out of him unless you pay for it.

This bloke should be locked up in a jail cell somewhere. He has admitted to drug trafficking!!. where are you police?

CJC-1295 isn't classified as an illegal substance. Its just on the banned substances list for WADA compliant sports as its a synthetic analogue of growth hormone- releasing hormone

Did I read somewhere yesterday that Robinson took a secret deal with ASADA to save his skin and to implicate the players?

 

[Steve Dore]

Reported on ABC radio this morning that the banned players are looking for $1.5M (per player) in compensation from Essendon and the AFL who are their joint employers.

 

[Steve Dore]

so we havent offered Gus a new contract, yet. But according to hinkley we will 'look after him'
are we not allowed to offer contracts yet?

Take the drug ban out of the equation, would we be offering a player who is going to be 30 before the start of the 2017 season and is not automatic best 22 a new contract this early in 2016?

 

[Janus]

It's also prudent to see which of our players steps up. If Young is able to mantain form in the HFF role and Palmer continues to progress whatever contract we offer Gus would be less than if Young does nothing the rest of the year and Palmer goes nowhere.

Yep, Monfries has now been shunted to the end of the list and will get whatever we think he is worth, rather than what he thinks he's worth. Call it dumb campaigner tax for not doing what the club asked and accepting a 3 gane deal when it was offered.

Yep. When it counted Monfries (and Ryder) put themselves as Essendon players first, Port players second.

Fair enough then, but he should still be rotting in a jail cell!!!

Is this really true or just rumour? Could they really have just gotten a 3 game ban? If so it's crazy stuff.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Asada have reopened the case against Bock. Pity they did a deal with Robinson. That could have opened up a Pandora's can of worms.

And Dank is refusing to give testimony to ASADA as per usual. He plays everyone like a fiddle and so many people don't even realise it.

 

[Steve Dore]

...... That could have opened up a Pandora's can of worms.

 

[Garibaldi Red]

Read a story this morning about Dank suing The Suns for wrongful dismissal. Given the events since then (Cronulla/Essendon) and the Bock story, you would think The Suns had every right to get rid of him.

The problem for the Suns is that what has happened since isn't relevant.

 

[Garibaldi Red]

True, but you would think, given the proximity of his termination and appointment at Cronulla, it suggests he believed he had this magic formula and was in the process of using it on the GCS players with Bock possibly being the first cab in the rank.

The stench around this bloke is putrid.

Indeed. Or even a box of cats or a bag of Pandora's worms.

Dank is after revenge and that's why he is pouring a bucket of s**t on GC and Demons.

western royboy you said your contact was confident Dank was telling the truth. Do you reckon his latest allegations change that?
