Play Nice WADA v Essendon 34: Guilty, 2 Yr Susp. (backdated to Mar 2015). Affects 17 current AFL plyrs.

I back Lance on this. Timing of AFL punishment was very unhelpful.

S. Pete

The timing of the AFL punishments on Carlton was a travesty... we had just finished last and they smacked us with a million buck fine and draft sanctions.

Essendon are a mid table team with some good young players coming through. They have managed to divest themselves of well over half of the players named and banned. They have had 3 years to "pay off" the fine levied on them while Carlton had to stump up the money on the barrel head.

And as I said in response to Lance the first time... the first punishment was for improper records management and governance issues. There was no punishment handed out for running a doping regime and it says that in the paperwork that the AFL handed out. Because at the time, it hadn't been fully investigated to determine if there was a case to answer to in regards to doping.

Now all the court cases have run their course and the Essendon players have been named (all 34 of them) and convicted of drug taking. It was proven that Essendon were the ones supplying the "supplements" and organising it. Ergo, it stands to reason that Essendon should be penalised for running a team wide doping regime.

Who did he assault again?

Making people do things either by intimidation, blackmail or physically constitutes assault.

James Hird is a disgrace, should now just close his mouth, done nothing but hurt Essendon more and more

Hird's unbelievable isn't he? Hasn't talked for 3 years, now he wants to talk. Boofhead.

Simple afl has always conducted its own arbitration.. beyond arrogant to think that asada and wada were gonna let em off the hook. Afl should have as their anthem - the spin doctors.

 

[Lacustrus]

But he's a good bloke and a hall of faner

He is also a very good doctor from personal experience many years ago. Just a bloody shame, the whole lot of it...

 

[chelseacarlton]

Evidence is evidence I suppose.
It doesn't matter how high the afl tried to place the bar,you know one of those lanky pesky northern europeans will jump clean over it.
They have long legs and a catapult up their clacker.

His own EGO. lol

 

[Dramoth]

holy shit!!! Dramoth!! You've worked up the courage to leave the safety of your club only threads!! Go you! Wonders will never cease.

I spoken to you on the main board before and on the HTB threads... you really must get some of the stuff Essendon was using to try and improve the players thought patterns. You seem to forget little things.

And I do pop out of the Carlton board on occasion...

Point 136 is quite disturbing. The AFL were suppose to be the prosecutors in the original hearing but delegated it to ASADA but here they are arguing for the defence.

You're in good company today then

Injecting substances into someone without their consent is assault. This also applies to injecting a different substance to the one you said you were going to, that was okayed.

 

[NikkiNoo]

true, however maybe if the players did know Monfires should have disclosed it to the your club. Maybe port should sue him

Pretty sure that playersdon't have to disclose strikes for drug offences to new clubs when they are being traded, so I can't why Monfries should have disclosed that he wanted out of Essendon because of the doping regime.

If train A travels at 40 miles per hour and Train B travels at 60 miles per hour, and Train A passes a station at 2:15 a.m. and train B passes the same station at 2:30 a.m., at what time will train B catch up with Train A?

Why are they going in the same direction on the one track?

Sure you mean 136? They seems to be the players, but did notice they did it at a few points.

That is how trains work.

 

[Funk]

Not quite. The bloke who gave it to them did say he used it initially, then when challenged produced an alternative scenario.

Dank only changed his "story" when during the McKenzie interview he was advised TB4 was prohibited.

He was shocked to hear that.

Conclusion: Mr Young was ****ing brilliant. And don't send a newbie to take on Mr Young

Yeah about half way down . It starts with "The AFL for its part"

The guy's a serious dickhead and an embarrassment. Wish he'd just far koff.

Just say 3:00am
