GIVE ME SOME OF THEM DANK MEMES

 

[smeltitdeltit]

To be fair, we didn't get sloppy. Dank chose a bloke who was on a watch list to use as his importer. Dank got sloppy.

So he wasn't employed by the EFC when he did that?

What about this article from 2007 where Robinson says Dank has had huge input at Geelong even if not employee by them?

Cats fans, for the good of sport in Australia, and to keep the HTB's dream of drug free sport, surely you'd be ok with your club being investigated so we can get to the THRUTH.

You are right. I'll be content with whatever ASADA/WADA says.

Here is ASADA's email address. Send this to them. Good get!!! They won't know about this evidence.

Geelong just admitted they got gear from Dank.

Really? Can you show me where this is admitted, that they got the legal drug from Stephen Dank?

Like we were in 2013 by the AFL, ASADA and Deloitte you mean?

 

[PetterdHoisted]

How many Cats players have tested positive to abnormal levels of TB4 in their urine, consistent with external administration? (or any other PED?)

I think we should follow the wishes repeated ad nauseam by Bomber fans: if you haven't proved it's in their bodies, you can't be sure it happened.

(Bombres have I paraphrased you correctly?)

 

[Stiubhart]

They never used Dank. They bought a substance that happened to be imported by a company Dank owned.

To be fair, the company was called DODGY SUBSTANCES R'US, so they probably should have known better, but a perfectly legal drug must have slipped through the cracks somehow.



What are you talking about?

Mate don't let those salient facts get in the way of this 'let's see if we can asterisk the cats success' witch hunt

Only red flag for me was Chappy getting the funky blood treatment to the hammies (before it was banned), which is bleeding edge enough that a Dank type could've thrown up the idea. But so could a doctor.

I don't think there's anything in it. If the journos want to look then go for it, it's journalism.

There is another name in that article you should pay attention to.
Paul Haines was the person who was in charge of Geelong's player management along with Dr Bradshaw and Dr Allen overseeing the supplements. Then everything had to go through Neil Balme and Steven Hocking
Know what Dean Robinson was in charge of? Strength and conditioning that was it nothing more.

That's the idea.

But especially 2007 and 2009. That's when that rotter Mark Thompson was in charge. James and Robbo don't have anything against Scott.......yet.

Of course he wasn't, that's what we say about James.

Only red flag for me was Chappy getting the calf's blood treatment to the hammies (before it was banned), which is bleeding edge enough that a Dank type could've thrown up the idea. But so could a doctor.

Umm Chappy had his own blood spun, like many other players did, didn't have calves blood injected.

Chapman's troublesome hamstring was helped by a technique that saw blood drained from his body, "spun" to increase its oxygen content, then re-injected into the injured muscle. Blood is spun in a centrifuge to give it an increased concentration of platelets that are rich in healing properties.
It is believed the practice is common across the AFL, but it is kept quiet by clubs because of the negative perception of injections.

Yep I ninja edited. Got the wires crossed on the blood treatment.

Like I said, I don't think there's anything in it, just that it's the sort of idea Dank may have ever thrown up, but so would a qualified doctor. Besides bouncing ideas I don't see any evidence Dank consulted for the club officially.

And to my mind it's practically the same as what Cooney and Riewoldt get to the knees, except for a technicality. Play on.

Practice was done before and continued after Chapman.

"By late December/early January, it started to pull up really sore. I had scans and it came back that both of them were inflamed but I had a bit of a tear down the left one."

David Hale had just undergone a procedure on his own achilles tendon where blood is removed, spun in a centrifuge to increase its oxygen content and then reinjected.

Hodge embarked on the same course of action.

Fine line - it's only illegal if the blood goes in to muscle tissue.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

Yep, a ridiculous line, which would be nigh-on impossible to prove either way.

The Cats pushing the boundaries, has a certain ring to it.

It's necessary to have a line though. Think Lance Armstrong and his mobile blood clinic.

 

[andrewb]

hmmm.. Now they are admitting to injections as well. Murkier and murkier
