The risk with the idea behind if you saw it and ignored it you must go is that it eventually leads to people wanting to not know about stuff that might be 'inconvenient': "don't show me that, I'm better off not knowing, that way I can deny I knew about it". It makes managers in particular less interested in seeking out potential bad news - they're better off with deniability.
Putting that to one side, I'm not sure there's much of a smoking gun in that document anyway. IMO the provocative article title and the clear implication that Essendon were told AOD-9604 was WADA-prohibited are not backed up by the quotes in the article.
