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.
Still up to a 2 yr ban regardless though isn't it?

There isn't anything to say that Jobe Definately took AOD
Oh god this is my favourite. It's my favourite thing of all the things.

There's nothing to say Jobe took the drug. Except, of course, Jobe admitting that he took the drug.

Glad to see Big Footy is sane, SEN still trying to pretend it's a 'storm in a teacup'

However one thing I'll give Tim Watson in his nonsensical cover up, is that there has been no "revelation" in the past 24 hours. Tim Watson confirmed the players were given AOD back in February and WADA came out and said Ignorance was not an excuse back in March/April. It didn't take a genius to put those two pieces of information together and realize Essendon were screwed.

We've been fed over two months of this *Essendon PR bullcrap, which if I was a scum supporter I'd be sick that my club is putting on smiles and pretending everything is hunky dory just to mooch from their supporters so there's enough money in the coffers to avoid going into liquidation when nobody shows up to watch Essendon lose to GWS by 100 points next season. Maybe their supporters won't be so happy to defend their club once they've realized they've thrown 100's of dollars away on the last two tainted seasons. God help them if they get evidence for the other ingredients in the "cocktail"

I'll give credit to the Essendon PR team though, we'll go another 2 months before the findings come out and by then the public will go back to thinking they're innocent.

This is the biggest load of bullshit in the whole story

according to robbo, *essendon have ( located, discovered, manufactured, or fabricated ) in their posession a " letter " stating that AOD9604 was not illegal in 2012
The one they had was doctored by Dank. No one checked that it was a fake. It will be of zero help.

That seems to be the entire basis of the defence now. Whatever WADA said in S0, ASADA told Dank it was ok at the time, so they can't make a case about AOD now. Either they have evidence or they haven't - either that's enough to stop the AOD case or it isn't - and either they can be proven to have taken other banned gear or they can't. We'll see. Hope their proof is better than the already-released correspondence between Dank and WADA. If ASADA get to talk to Dank now, that should make life more interesting too.

At least we can all move on from the "who says anyone used AOD?" routine.

BRILLIANT point made on AFL360.

Milne was stood down and f*** all has been proven against him.

Jobe puts his hand up and says he took illegal substances.

What now?
If Jobe is stood down then all players who admit to signing the form and accepting injections are to be stood down. AD in a sticky spot, and its not from the extra garlic sauce on his suvo.
