Peptides! The *Essendrug Dopers: come smell the bull****! -PART 2

[savagelunchbox]

There is a reason he completely flipped on the evidence he gave.

Spoke to reporters about how he would blow the whole thing open, said it was worse than Lance Armstrong. This was the same day he spoke with ASADA investigators.

When it came time for him to testify he backed out and ASADA had to ditch everything he said in interviews to them and media.

He was either just trying to get himself a pay day out of Essendon to shut him up, or the mob guys he was involved with got rough with him to ensure he didn't also leak his provider.

Explains why not long after he was caught importing from China which he likely didn't have to do directly before and relied on the mob to do it.

It's the latter.

The undesirables and a few other older, richer ex-players (Newman, Nixon, Cornes, amongst others) were all invested in what Hird and Dank were testing on the Essendon players. Had it not been caught, they were going to take it to the black market of sports, through the help of the undesirables connections, where they could have made more than they could ever get from football.

Nixon, Newman, Cornes all coming or had recently came to the end of what used to be their cash-cow gig. They needed another source...

I did not know any of this. Putting it all together makes for a pretty scary story. TV production companies make compelling crime dramas with less of a story-line that what the Essendon drug case offers up.

Underbelly: whatever it takes.

Was Hird’s personal trainer back in his brownlow year too.

“Nutritional advisor”. LOL

Woewoden and Luke Darcy too in their best years. Both those guys had stand out years.

That’s one way to put it.

Remember Rocket Racer in the Perth Cup in 1987 - the horse owned by colourful identity Laurie Connell?
The horse was so doped up with elephant juice that it won the Cup by 9 lengths and after the finish line kept racing around the track before the jockey could pull it up - it got back to the mounting yard and collapsed.
Well that was Woewoden in his Brownlow year. He was transformed from a mediocre hack to a running machine, thanks to “fitness advisor” Shane Charter.

How’s he tracking - any good???
Is it automatic that he gets picked up by the bombers - imagine if another team decided they liked the look of him

Further evidence that poor old Scotty West was robbed of the Brownlow that year. Absolute stand out year but pipped at the post by a “one year wonder”

2009
Hadn't won a final in 5 years.

2019
Hadn't won a final in 15 years.

Next start after the cup Rocket Racer went to Northam for a provincial cup, started short price and finished unplaced.

Simply posting this on the ‘Essendon Dopers’ blog as it’s convenient.
Evidently, if an AFL player has been diagnosed with a mental illness and this information is then lodged with the AFL that player is exempt from ‘any’ drug testing.
I have been told one AFL club has no fewer than 20 players under this exemption going into the 2019 season.

This loophole sounds unbelievable.
Ultimately the AFL is still a WADA signatory so the AFL can't just go around handing out get out of jail free cards willy nilly.

 

[BaliHawk]

Exactly what I thought GM. The communique is from within AFLHQ and is adamant the numbers are correct.

Surely, SURELY referring to the AFL negotiated 'party drugs' policy, not the WADA enforced performance enhancing.

Otherwise bye-bye any federal funding.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I don’t think ASADA or WADA make exemptions for athletes feeling a little blue.


Seems the wires have been crossed.

 

[MrPremiership]

WADA isn't making exemptions for the puny little AFL market

Like other posters, I find this shocking if true.

Is the AFL so sensitive to negative press that it would create such an obvious loophole that could be easily exploited to prevent players registering a positive drug test?

Not a loophole, an explicit contradiction. Drug and alcohol addiction are described as a mental illness. So you could say that because players are breaking the rules they are exempt from the rules.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Option 6 suggests that they all collaborated / were instructed to not write that information on the form but all collaborated / were instructed to write things like panadol on the form

So yes guilty

This....

Yes. Definitely. Without hesitation.

This regards the recreational drug use, surely. WADA can still overrule on PED's, as they had to do with the Essenscum scandal.

I went to check but Tony Sheahan has me blocked... Not sure why I don't think I've ever interacted with him on twitter.

I want ASADA/WADA to come on down and test every single player at every single club!
