"FORMER Bomber Mark McVeigh has revealed players were assured all supplements they took last year were above board and has slammed former teammate Kyle Reimers as unprofessional and "disgruntled."

McVeigh, who retired from the club at the end of last year, said the players had faith in the club's protocols.

"We knew that it was 100 per cent above board, and we trust and respect our coaches and doctors who knew about it," McVeigh told AFL.com.au.

"And that if anything was to come of it we'd be absolutely shocked and disgusted."

McVeigh said the so-called reported 'waivers' were actually consent forms requested by the players from the club assuring all supplements adhered to WADA codes as they moved into a new program.

"We'd never really gone into some of the supplements we were going to take so we asked for a consent form that WADA and the AFL doping code would make sure it was ticked off and that it was in the regulations," McVeigh told SEN.

"The players got that form in front of doctors, [including] Dr Bruce Reid who has been with the club for over 30 years, and coaches, and everyone knew that this had been ticked off.

"And if you were comfortable with what you were taking, which we all were because it was within the rules and the doctor had told us it was fine…we signed it and it gave them consent to be able to have these tablets."

McVeigh clarified reports the players were taken away from the club's Windy Hill base to have the injections because the club was searching for a "sterile environment."

"Footy clubs can sometimes be filthy, so we were taken to a sterile environment and the only injection I ever had was a vitamin C or vitamin B injection," he said.

"At the time I had a little baby girl, I wasn't getting much sleep, I was rundown, I had a bit of a cold, [so] I had a vitamin C injection. [That's] not uncommon. Natural vitamins they are.

"[There was] nothing any more sinister than that, and that's what other players would have if they were feeling a bit down, or trying to get over a cold before a Saturday night game."

McVeigh said he felt sick as the AFL and ASADA investigation was announced on Tuesday, and rubbished Reimers' suggestions about the "odd" supplements the Bombers were taking.

"Kyle Reimers has come out and said some things that are untrue," he said.

"He's a disgruntled player that was delisted by the football club that very rarely turned up to pre-season training in any sort of form that resembled a professional footballer.

"[And] the stuff he said [about] 'We didn't know what we were taking'. Every player knew what they were taking. It was listed and we knew that it was within the rules.

"It was clearly stated to us what we were taking. If you didn't know, you must have been asleep in the meeting, which, you know what, Reimers probably was."

[mike14]

colour me confused but if it's all above board as alluded to by SPike, then what did Essendon find suspicious and what is the investigation into?

 

[Mercurial89]

Love you spike thanks for putting my mind at ease. Someone get this guy back at our club!

 

[Doss]

If only Spike didn't live in Sydney now..

 

[Affidavit]

Sounds too good to be true! love spikey

 

[BrewSmackerVeiny]

Was it just me or at about 10:05 he says "They wouldn't deliberately F**K the system"?

Buck, sadly.

 

[Stickers32]

It's cos the Police heard about the program and were concerned about it. Essendon went to AFL to conduct an Investigation to make sure everything is above board and in order. Essendon got on the front foot because a particular Journo out there was going to break the story the next day that "Essendon players were Injecting supplements at an offsite location". Which is allegedly true to a degree. They were injecting supplements away from the club, Just not performance enhancing or banned supplements. Which they have been accused of doing. It would of looked bad if Essendon didn't get on the front foot about this.

 

[Keystone agony]

Reimers thinks hes Akermanis, only in one way. Looks.

So he's not a flog?

 

[horj89]

Love it. McVeigh just teeing off on Remiers.

 

[Eleven 38]

Reimers thinks hes Akermanis, only in one way. Looks.

If Reimers is asleep all the time like Spike said im sure hes dreaming hes a Brownlow medalist also,,,,

 

[Knight Ryders]

I'm trying to read between the lines with everything that has come out. Could it be that there is conjecture about a supplement that wasn't on the WADA Banned List that then was mid-way throughout the year?

 

[Keystone agony]

If Reimers is asleep all the time like Spike said im sure hes dreaming hes a Brownlow medalist also,,,,

Id say by the sounds of it Kyle 'sleepy' reimers wouldnt need any vitamin C or B

Me too, i think it would all to be with dosage amount. I mean professional sportmen can get away with taking peptides or whatever steroids ect, if you take a small amount that cant be tested to a level where it exceeds a certain limit. Eg: EPO not being able to be above 50 or something, yet athletes still do it to be measured at 49 or lower. Thats how scientific and technical we as humans can be, technology i tell you.

 

[Stickers32]

I'm sure it'll all come out in the wash. But I must say I'm feeling a bit more relaxed about the situation after this interview. Still think that Dank fella is a shifty character.
