Being investigated by AFL for PED use.


For "supplement use" ;)

At a hastily called media conference this afternoon, Bombers chairman David Evans said the club has received information about supplements given to players over the past 48 hours.

I think we will be in serious crap, already the bookies have suspended us from wooden spoon betting and ive just spoken to guys in Melbourne who have heard a 3 year ban mentioned.
Did hear whispers during the year that players were asked to sign a medical waiver and only Watson and Fletcher refused to partake.
Thought it was just rumours at the time but there were reports of a couple of players passing out in the club gym, i had just put it down to hard work but maybe there is more to it.

Carlton and Collingwood have just put out a statement urging the AFL to take no action as they would like Essendon to stay the way they are ...
