Oh right, so they should have interfered in the process AGAIN and made sure that Essendon was found guilty because you read a few articles about it and that makes you an expert.

What about the ziggy report? Bruce's letter to Hird?

Just made up by Caro?

 

[Starburns_]

Downhill skiiers who were unsighted here over the previous 2 years can f*** off.

Haduken, BJD, as you were.

 

[BigJoeD_]

Drug research?

Haven't you guys done it all, stoner?

Maybe your club could show some ******* integrity and not "loose" the ******* evidence.

campaigner club full of cheating campaigners

I'm sorry the AFL are morally bankrupt, but today proves it.

The only reason why your club is still off the hook is because the AFL gave you a tip off.

WADA and the CAS will **** your club dry, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow but one day.

They got Lance and they will get you.

If they did not interfere at the start this thing would of been over within 6 months.

The AFL gave essendon a tip off.

I see this all the time on BigFooty and have noted it with my own quote, to go along with Socrates "I know that I know nothing" which is "stupidity is one thing experience won't make you an expert in". Thanks for putting a name to this phenomenon.

 

[Collins-Langford-Ayres]

Yes it is staggering.

Nothing against the Bombers, but how players can be not guilty when everything suggests otherwise and they have even admitted being injected with banned substances, is beyond comprehension.

Troy Simmonds basically blantantly punches nick riewoldt in the face, whilst being in the possesion of the collar of his jumper...this makes it less of an offence (bull****).....= 1 week

Didak- trips....no harm done...= will likely get weeks

Tripping should just be a free - kick maybe even 50 m....
It is ridicoulous.

Tribunal is an absolute joke.....i realise this is old news...
but still..
fcuk it *****s me

Most irrelevant poster of all time

Do the essendon supporters realise they are not getting new players? it's just the players they have aren't getting suspended.

Governance issues. We were already punished appropriately. Dumbass

"No evidence? That's just what they would say if Essendon was guilty!"

You muppets don't understand anything about how the legal system works. Stick to throwing down VBs in your wifebeaters and getting filthy at "the missus" when your team is losing

Look at Al Capone, one of the most violent criminals in history. Convicted on Tax evasion and contempt of court. Anything more substantial always ran into insufficient evidence, largely in part due to witnesses recanting or refusing to testify. Just because that's all they could prove doesn't change the fact he was a violent mobster who ordered/orchestrated the deaths of ~50 people if not more.

Just because ASADA weren't able to prove you were drug cheats doesn't that you aren't, especially when the case is dismissed due to a lack of evidence.

Congratulations on getting away with cheating though.

The worst thing to come out of all of this is that we will be denied the amazing footballing pedigree and talent of the firestarter

I appreciate this ruling as a slap in the face for muppets on BigFooty and the media who have been trying to beat up this issue for 2 years now without any evidence. Caroline Wilson, Patrick Smith, the Flogcast, your campaign of innuendo and gossip is over.

Lol good to see the flogcast is part of the established media

Lol, the governance issues were the players being injected with performance enhancing drugs.

I don't listen in anymore because it's too mainstream

I'd make a bet with you but, well, you know...

What if I promised to grow a beard and wear a fedora next time I'm on to make it more 'underground' - would that bring you back?

They haven't. It took authorities years to finally make the charges against Lance Armstrong stick but in the end they succeeded.

WADA has been watching this saga play out from the beginning. They have a very high incidence of appealing non-guilty doping verdicts and this is an extremely high profile case.
Most of us have known from the beginning this will end up at CAS - where Essendon and the AFL hold absolutely no power.

On what points do you believe they have an avenue for appeal?
And what is the percentage of not guilty non AAF cases that WADA have appealled?

Back into your hole you insufferable peanut
