No Oppo Supporters The ASADA Thread... from a Tiger perspective

[DrMike]

he definitely laid the groundwork for it if they decide to go that way in the future.

They still won't. Australian Government won't allow it.

 

[Helen Wheels]

Gil is doing exactly what he needs to as head of Australia's largest sporting body

Have a go at him all you want but if you think otherwise you have no idea what it takes to run a business

He sure knows how to dish out the business.

this I agree with you, there would be ramifications if an Australian sport opted out after receiving a less than favourable ruling, sort of like taking my bat and ball and going home...........its un australian

[tigerfan11]

essendrugs presser about to go on

 

[tigerz18]

so essendon will take year off, recruit pus and finish last, come back with a number 1 draft pick and the players in peak condition for next season.

hmmm that's not a punishment for the club - just for the players not being able to play

1st round draft picks for the next 2 years should be taken off them, and this years 2nd round draft pick.

 

[Groupie_]

Im sorry but there is something that doesnt sit right with me when i think about essendrugs getting the number 1 pick

wouldve got it anyway with their shit truck list. on the other hand they will probably beat carlspoon anyway

 

[Neen]

If it is a two year ban with one year served, then Dustin Fletcher didn't play 400 games. Jobe should hand in his brownlow.

When are the powers to be at Essendon going to take responsibility ? I do feel for the players, but the club let the players down and need to be held more accountable. They complain about "3 years of duress" and "the ripple effect is huge". But it is THEIR own fault thinking that they would not get caught. They cheated and paid the price. I think that "the ripple effect" will last 5-10 years. Screwed for a long time - even with protection from the AFL.

 

[Achilles Heel]

Lindsay they are saying your club cheated its easy to understand

 

[Barry_Badrinath]

rfctiger74 must be gutted

 

[Achilles Heel]

[Achilles Heel]

[Groupie_]

From ABC wrap from ASADA presser
Ben McDevitt:
"To be blunt, the AFL tribunal simply got it wrong.
"Now that the CAS decision is final, I can share some facts of the case, some which have previously been confidential.
"Broadly, there was clear evidence that members of the club implemented a program designed to make Essendon players bigger and stronger and able to recover more quickly to gain an advantage over their opposition.
"In the words of Stephen Dank 'Thymosin was the vital cornerstone of that program'."

• Essendon's sports scientist Stephen Dank was shown to have used Thymosin Beta-4 on other athletes prior to his arrival at Essendon
• There were over 100 text messages that unveiled a plan to source Thymosin Beta-4 for the purpose of doping the Essendon team
• The players signed consent forms agreeing to Thymosin injections and each received a number of injections
• Six players reported being told they were being injected with Thymosin
• Two players reported seeing vials marked with the word "Thymosin" in the sports scientist's fridge
• Two players sent text messages discussing their Thymosin injections with Stephen Dank
• Scientific analysis of a substance compounded by the pharmacist for Essendon showed that the substance was no other kind of Thymosin other than Thymosin Beta-4 with a 97-99 per cent accuracy

"At the end of the day, 34 players signed on to receive four substances. Yes, they were told the injection program was WADA compliant but they adopted a head-in-the-sand approach in contravention of their anti-doping education.
"They agreed to keep it a secret.
"They failed to declare the injections to doping control officers, they accepted that they were walking close to the line and they deliberately kept it from the team doctor."

I tihnk Gil should have read this before he went he live.

 

[Achilles Heel]

The award is for the FAIREST and best , how does chris grant feel about this, what about corey Mckernan

[Achilles Heel]

and again that flog tanner hints at Richmond , it will take us less than 30 years to recover, typical left wing flog.

Dont for one second think 12 months off will be a good thing for the players. They will not come back fresher.
The will come back unfit and have not played the game for 12 months. 12 months off is a long time and their form and progress
will be hindered dramatically.

He should have waited.
