AFL360 tonight confirms AOD9604 was not prohibited and is a legal drug to use.
The AFL have known this for months.
No wonder Jobe wasnt shy in telling people he took it, he has known its legal all along

That's not the drug in question. ASADA want dank and will get dank.

Need tissues Jim?

[The Sleeping Giant]

What about taking players off site and injecting them?

No law against that
Hawthorn admitted recently they give numerous injections to players at half time still

[Jim05]

Need tissues Jim?

Not yet, still far from safe.
That was just one piece of good news, still need plenty more

Not true. Banned under S0. They were referring to S2 where it's not classified. WADA has already said its banned. Do not trust the rantings of those two peanuts on 360. Robbo is a Hird supporter. He used to shadow write hirds HUN column. Whately is a puppet and a follower. Nothing has changed, except essendon have overtaken collingwood as the nations most hated team.

How much do bombers lose by against blues?

It's a big call. I think Essendon can win it but if they don't, they will get flogged. It won't be a close game.

ASADA cocked up royally and supplied the wrong information.
The lead ASADA investigator admitted weeks ago that there is very little chance of anyone being done for use of AOD.
Even ex ASADA boss Richard Ings believes AOD wont be an issue as Essendon were given false advice.
Whately and Robbo have been very critical of us and have been calling for heads for awhile now.
Robbo is on the outer at Essendon, Hird and the club have had a major falling out with him

It's still all speculation. AOD was the least of the clubs problems. 11 players at least investigated with thymosin beta4 but I reckon the big problems will come from the drug from Mexico and how it was acquired. It seems to be the elusive 'amino' from the invoice.

[Q.]

I just don't get the Mexico thing. There is absolutely no reason whatsover to acquire peptides from Mexico, of all places.

The AFL has called a meeting with the 18 club Presidents tomorrow to go over the Essendon charges

[Jim05]

The AFL has just released their charges against Essendon
A lot of bad stuff contained in it, far worse than I could have imagined.
Barring an absolute miracle the club and certain individuals are screwed.

Crikey Jim, lots of email notes and quotes there which are very damning.

I bet as a result of this, every club tightens up their employment/recruitment process and mentors staff underneath them just as any big business should.

Gone are the days of gentlemens' handshakes and agreements to do the right thing.

Essendon should have made a deal when they had the chance

No way, take some people down with us
Still think this is heading to the courts
Had to have a chuckle at a few of the charges though when club/individuals are charged for not doing background checks on Dank.
So when are the Suns and Geelong going to be investigated as they both employed Dank?

[Tubby]

Well done Andy, another quality press conference
