No ASADA appeal; files sent to WADA. WADA deadline about May 11th

[Bennett.]

Basically asada are having to backpedal furiously so they have handballed it to WADA to get them out of trouble.

Very professional...

 

[Proper Gander]

Don't **** with Essendon.

Bloody Bombers. Everything goes their way...

 

[Fletched]

He is basically saying what most suspect. The AFL is corrupt. he wants the decision to be taken away from AFL influences. Smart move.

It was an independent tribunal you know that?

 

[bombers21]

Bad luck Benny boy. Good luck in the future

 

[juss]

It was an independent tribunal you know that?

Was this independent tribunal chosen by the AFL or set up by an independent body?

 

[GuzzLG]

So Dank says he won't bother going before the AFL Tribunal because it's corrupt and you all attack him for it but when McDipshit says the same thing you praise him for it?

 

[Satan]

And what happens when WADA don't play the game? But, but, but wait until the International War Crimes Tribunal get their hands on the file!

International court of justice in july ,James just had a european summer may want another one

 

[buttsauce]

So if WADA don't appeal what is your summation then?

If WADA dont appeal i'll eat my own $hit

 

[t_ontour]

I cannot believe that the Bombers have hijacked another season with all this... the other clubs should be outraged and the presidents should demand that they are kicked out of the competition. Its a disgrace... the players took TB4 as part of the pharmacologically experiment, 10,000 injections... I know they did... I just dont have any proof that they did.

[Lance Uppercut]

[Pweter]

Well now the story just keeps dragging on

ASADA's Essendon's Hird's fault

 

[Proper Gander]

If WADA dont appeal i'll eat my own $hit

Given your name and all, would you like a straw?

 

[t_ontour]

If WADA dont appeal i'll eat my own $hit

Good luck with that mate... enjoy. BTW whats the latest with Majak... havent heard much from NMFC on that issue?

 

[jezzajay]

lol ASADA doesn't even have faith in their case!

U might read into that way...but I dont

 

[kolchak]

Great, some official in Switzerland who has never heard of the AFL and Essendon and James Hird will now be judging this, and about bloody time.

 

[interestedoz1]

Do people think this decision was made independently of WADA?

imo that would be unlikely...

 

[Big Sim]

The AFL tribunal result was inevitable. WADA and CAS was always the only way ASADA could win the case. Now we will see if their case was as weak as the AFL and News Ltd would have us believe. If it was, cue Senate inquiry and a the sound of axes sharpening.

But if it does go to CAS, it will be the AFL in the dock with the EFC.

 

[Off The Couch]

So Dank says he won't bother going before the AFL Tribunal because it's corrupt and you all attack him for it but when McDipshit says the same thing you praise him for it?

Didn't "McDipshit" (so childish) already put ASADA's case to the tribunal. All he is doing now is saying he isn't going to waste his time and going to let WADA have a read and let them decide whether it's worth pursuing.

All we've heard from the rogue employee to date is bluster

 

[Satan]

ASADA's Essendon's Hird's fault

He went to fed court twice ,dragged it out ,well called

 

[Argy]

If WADA decides not to appeal then I will accept the decision.

 

[jezzajay]

And if they don't? I am concerned about what will become of you lot if that's the case.

Id be more concerned with what the players got injected with...just saying..

 

[buttsauce]

Good luck with that mate... enjoy. BTW whats the latest with Majak... havent heard much from NMFC on that issue?

We will let the law handle that, we wont hamper and appeal the process all the way either.

 

[Gavstar]

I don't think this is a surprise.

I think McD is conceding that under the appeals process he doesn't have a case.

ASADA cannot subpoena witnesses to generate new evidence under oath, WADA can but will they ($$$)? If WADA don't appeal there is lots of egg on ASADA faces.

Fundamentally is there evidence of specific players getting "Thymosin" in the range of dates correlating with the first batch of TB4? if not then why appeal just to get further down the chain and be stopped.

I still don't understand why individuals and club doctor are not sanctioned under the failure to keep records clauses of the code not a huge penalty still an easy win.
