I want to know how the Chief keeps getting the HearldSun to release snippets this time of year to keep the traffic to BF up in the offseason?
The possibility of Essendon innocence: a travesty of justice or conspiracy theory for the ages?

ASADA responds to Bombers drugs twist
The drug administered to Essendon players that led to their suspension in 2016 was only listed as a banned substance several months after the injections were stopped, the Herald Sun reports.www.news.com.au
Thoughts? In your opinion, does this change the initial mainstream narrative about the Essendon drug saga?
No change re Essendon
1) The substance was a banned substance on the WADA list
2) Essendon did not co-operate and present their full drug regime
3) Essendon did not keep full records and or destroyed the records
Yes a change re ASADA re failing to marry their list with WADA
Actually you have got this a bit wrong.
It wasn't explicitly listed as a banned substance by WADA or ASADA at the time. It is now.
It was however banned under other categories such as S2 and S0 which don't name all substances as such, but discuss things like growth hormones and examples of such substances and whether stuff is appoved for human use.
This is where the public gets confused and sucked in by disingenuous reports which play on the wording around banned substances.

Hopefully, it also leads to some recommendations for good dumplings
I think even most Essendon supporters are sick of it now so I’m hopeful it’s not the circus that was the HTB. It’s just a few tin foil hat wearing nuffies still convinced Essendon was the victim of a conspiracy.
Even if they did, it was clear they didn’t follow the info on the site to contact ASADA when they didn’t find the substance listed. If just one player had’ve done that, the entire 34 would’ve been spared
Interesting timing with this article. Robbo is obviously carrying someone’s water for some purpose with this article now, but who it’s for is a mystery. Could one of the new coaches be looking to import the coach in charge at the time the 34 players were suspended for doping, and this is their way of trying to smooth the waters for his return to football? Are the AFL looking to withdraw from WADA and this is the start of conditioning the public?

If it was legal why did essendon systematically destroy records of its use and go through shady means to acquire it?
Irrelevant! ASADA website doesn't decide what is banned, WADA does. It's been banned by WADA since 2010. If Essendon had've rang ASADA, as they should they would've been told it was banned whether it was on the website or not. That's why WADA followed up at the CAS and won.

Former ASADA CEO Richard Ings, who led the organisation from 2005-10, said the findings didn’t change anything because Thymosin Beta-4 was on the World Anti-Doping Authority’s banned list in 2010.
Ings said none of the new evidence impacted the decision reached by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
“WADA determine what’s banned. Not ASADA,” he tweeted. “And no one argues successfully that TB-4 is not banned. EFC34 were well represented at both hearing. They lost.” "

Further? Are you implying this has happened ever before?
Im sure Essendon must once again be loving the scab being removed.
It's the end. That's what players are told and is required. Call ASADA to make sure. Irrelevant whether it's on the website or not. It's nothing comes up on the website it says essentially that it doesn't mean it's not banned and to check with ASADA. They'd would've said straight up that it was banned. TB4 has been banned by WADA since 2010.
So it is done.
I cannot believe that didn't raise this at the time.
About 10 royal commissions were delayed in Australia because Essendon had hired all the lawyers possible to defend themselves. And all they had to do the whole time was hire Robbo

Pretty sure he can ready when he isn't 5 times the legal limit, unfortunately that's only an hour or 2 a day.
Essendon?
Innocent?
Innocent?
Hahaha supplements scandal, what were they using, swisse ultivites.
Call it for what it was aussie and afl media..........a drug doping scandal.
ASADA receive their banned substances list from WADA. ASADA evidently failed to update their website for a couple of years. That’s quite plausible.Irrelevant! ASADA website doesn't decide what is banned, WADA does. It's been banned by WADA since 2010. If Essendon had've rang ASADA, as they should they would've been told it was banned whether it was on the website or not. That's why WADA followed up at the CAS and won.

WADA couldn’t even prove substance was even within 100km radius of Windy Hill let alone in anyone’s eyeball or arse. Same organisation that refused to investigate Russian olympians with a tonne of way more stronger direct evidence.
Guys give Robbo a break here, in between pots and cigs, he's been cooking up his top 50.
No time to write stories on ASADA website updates.
This embarrassment came from Mick Warner.
