At least you know those that lobby the United $tates of America thinks the drug is 'likely to be safe'.

Even if it has been declared safe, it wasn't at the time.

At least it might be some consolation to the players and their families though

If that's what and all that they took, yes.If it's not, or is only part of what they were given, questions remain unanswered.

Also is "Generally recognised as safe" good enough for you?
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Would have thought any sort of drug fit for human use would be classified as this. There would always be a small portion of the population that it causes undesirable reactions....

Agreed there is still questions unanswered.
As for being safe its good enough for me, reckon some of the crap that some foods contain would scare many people, surely this cant be any worse

Safe, legal, and intended use are also different things. Anabolic steroids are safe and legal but aren't used in the intended way when abused by sportspeople

They aren't legal here. And a professional athlete is more likely to use them correctly than some weekend warrior shredding for stereosonic.

That's good enought for me, if the most negative supporter in the world thinks his team can win ;)

Now Hird turns on the hand that feeds him.

You would have to think it's only a matter of time before Hird is sacked by Essendon.

Little should do the honourable thing and resign considering his actions, together with the Board, have cost the club millions.

The decision to give Hird a 2 year contract extension and to continue to pay him $1M pa when Essendon were dealt with sanctions last year was the height of stupidity.

Clearly Hird is all about Hird, and will endeavour to take everyone down with him.

I feel for genuine Essendon supporters.

How do you figure that?
Having listened to the majority of todays proceedings it seems he is going to take a few down with him and hopefully expose the AFL as the crooks they are. I sense that he knows he wont be back next year and now he can finally have his say in court he will let rip.
