That was WADA's argument. The CAS didn't rule on that. Try again.
Play Nice WADA v Essendon 34: Guilty, 2 Yr Susp. (backdated to Mar 2015). Affects 17 current AFL plyrs.

Back when the AFL was dishing out sanctions to the club they had this to say, 'No breaches of the AFL Anti-Doping Code have been established to date.'
Well things have obviously changed.

You won't get any argument about that assessment from this Blues supporter.

Geez, not only has the club been punished (yes, I understand it was for poor governance) but it has lost its coach, chairman, some of its best players such as Ryder and Carlisle, Goodwin, Basset and now 12 players for a year, it's reputation and on - field competitiveness shredded ......can't we accept that as punishment enough?
Hird, Dank and Co are out of football, players now know their responsibilities (or if they don't they are truly dim).....mission accomplished I reckon.
Today would've been a busy note taking day.

1. Doping
2. Getting caught
Well, the biggest thing for me out of this so far is the reaction of the AFL, the AFLPA and some in the media.
Hardly unheard of but still very disappointing.
The AFL needs to be seen to be objective in this, and it has failed miserably. I seriously don't want the AFL in charge of this sport any more.

1 James Hird at the very least decided to embark of edgy supplements program without any real supervision.
2. Essendon Board did not monitor what is going on with the supplements program and ensure the program is well managed,
3. Dr Ried fails the players by not taking his concerns seriously.
4. Essendon Captain and leadership group failed to act in the interests of their players rather than the club. I went with the leadership gourd as they knew , as opposed to the AFLPA/Player agents because I assume they didnt, though they should be have seriously look at themselves why they were not involved, why didnt the players come to them? Surely they should have a system of trust communication in place that a player with any doubts whatsoever about their program will contact their agent or the AFLPA.
5. the AFL failed to setup clearer rules about player treatments. Why rely of other bodies? Why not an approved list, that all types of treatments must be approved by the AFL before a club can use them, like we propose to use treatment of drug X for purpose Y and delivery program not exceeding Z, the AFL have a panel (input from ASADA/WADA/Doctors/AFLPA whatever) approve it and the club MUST record delivery/treatment weekly with the AFL.

If you're a club with a "proud 140 year history" that is. So really the message is that if you're a big club you are fine.
Imagine if Brisbane or North or Saints did this, reckon the AFL would act the same?

Not sure if you're suggesting that they are already doping or asking whether they would be considering?
Yes, they, through Robinson, bought a legal supplement. They have the invoice and checked with ASADA.
They too had Deloitte go over the club's meta data.
Found nothing untoward. So your point is?
Thank you WADA and Ben Mcdevitt for making me believe in the justice system again.
And a big FU to all the 'journos' throughout this whole saga who protected their mates in the industry, muddied the waters, mislead the public and ultimately shot to pieces any semblance of journalistic integrity they might have had left covering the story. I consider you just as bad as the drug takers
