they'll get off. I know nothing about the drug, ASADA or anything else, but the AFL make deals like no-one business. Melbourne will get a PP and cash to afford Cam Ling.
we'll do the right the thing the right way and get stiffed.

****en bullshit.

If they get off, 17 other clubs will be loading up on every drug they can find. And when the questions come they can just say "um...they said it was legal".

The scum are doomed, DOOMED.

There might of been a slim chance they could have covered it if none of the scum admitted to it, captain jobey just ruined that didnt he.

Cant wait for the dogs to have there day. Scum.

For *Essington to get off means that WADA need to change their laws.

I don't think that is going to happen.
It cant happen. Will set a very dangerous precedent for every other case of doping.

They let Essendon off and every athlete ever done for doping will be knocking down the doors.

Not sure if there have been many athletes done for taking drugs under the s0 clause but they would be arguing that it has gone through clinical trials and is not performance enhancing so should be sweet. They are ignoring the fact that it has not been approved by a government health authority. Only if other athletes have been banned under similar circumstances would there be legal ramifications. The issue is that to allow this type of use is extremely dangerous as experimentation with concoctions of supposedly safe drugs would be rife. The s0 clause is in place to prevent this exact type of cowboy pharmacy.

Yep WADA can't allow it and, as reported in today's article, they'll have the final say.

Exactly, theres no escaping it. Essendon can argue it wasnt banned at the time of use all they like but the fact is it was never approved for human use therefore under the code its banned!. WADA wouldnt care how big Essendon are or how many fans they have. There fans are hanging to the last thread of hope.

They can also blame Dank as much as they like, but some simple research would have saved there asses now there going to fall on em'.

Ha, *Jobe has just pulled out the old " Can't make any further comment due to the ongoing investigation" when doorstopped by journos at his place.

He must have erased last nights interview from his memory.
There hanging by the last thread mate, going to be a big fall for all the scum.

Are you kidding? Were they not expecting the outcome of last night's interview?

LOL, even their spin doctors are incompetent.

Watch the *Essendon supporters change their excuse to "Yeah but it wasn't on a banned list so they shouldn't be punished".

It's not illegal to go swimming with Great Whites, doesn't mean you should do it though.

Can't believe a thread I started while sitting on the shitter has grown into 107 pages. Surely there's a badge/medal for that?

Watson's Brownlow should be stripped and given to McKernan.

I just had to visit the very first page and yep now I can imagine, "that special moment".
Jesus H Christ, where is mufassa? Or is his account still hacked?

One thing to be cynical and wary of here... is this a Hail Mary distraction? Are they admitting to taking a drug that has no perceived benefit so that ASADA will focus all their attention on that and ignore the fact that there is another drug they are alleged to have been using and it is very much more so a performance enhancing substance.
