Now Wallace and another former EFC staffer are starting to make claims against the club and nuggets are starting to come out about emails relating to the doping program being deleted from EFC servers (shocking right) Gatto being used to put pressure on Charter to reconsider his ASADA testimony, coaches openly injecting themselves and cocaine usage being covered up by the club.
But these are only the ramblings of disgruntled former employees right?
But these are only the ramblings of disgruntled former employees right?
Dual Bombers premiership hero Dean Wallis and ex-team services manager John Elliott have made the explosive claims as they pursue WorkSafe compensation actions against the club.
Mr Wallis, a former Dons assistant coach and team services and logistics manager, alleges in his statement: “I have been scapegoated in relation to the supplement program, while others at the club have been covering up the use of cocaine, sexual harassment and fraudulent behaviour.”
He also claims an invoice of $68,000 from Hypermed in South Yarra for amino acid injections and use of the hyperbaric chamber was mistakenly sent to his father, who shares his name. The invoice had been put in his name without his knowledge, he says.
Regarding the emails he says disappeared, Mr Elliott asserts: “Approximately three weeks after the investigation commenced, my personal workplace email was accessed by an unknown person/s and any relevant emails to the investigation were deleted from my email account.
“Any documents on the system that were relevant to the investigation were deleted and all of the hard copy invoices relevant to the $68,000 debt were taken from my desk.”

“In November 2014 I was asked ... to set up a meeting off-site with Mr Mick Gatto, who was an external well-known dispute resolution specialist,’’ Mr Elliott alleges.
“The purpose of the meeting was in regard to obtaining information from Mr Shane Charter, who was a supplier to Mr Stephen Dank,” Mr Elliott alleges.
Charter, a key witness in the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority’s case against the Essendon 34, at the last minute decided not to give evidence to the AFL anti-doping tribunal.
