Also what was Hird trying to suppress? Considering the independent tribunal found no evidence that banned substances were given to our players (just as he said all along) and Hird is yet to receive a ban of any kind, what damaging evidence that would destroy essendon didn't Hird want to be released!Some Essendon supporters talk absolute crap. He was trying to evidence buried by going to Court. It was about saving his skin. He knows, and admitted, his career in the world of business would be badly affected by a guilty finding for the players. Don't give us the crap about saving the players stress.
Now you're going to find the bar set a bit lower for the shipment of TB4 from China. CAS won't be as friendly as the AFL Tribunal when it comes to anti-doping. They never are and will be most reluctant to find a not guilty if a club can't produce records. Bad precedent to set.
You're not "not guilty" anymore it now starts all over again.
As I said before, start pooping those pants.
