ASADA stitch up

Hibbert:

'When the injections were taking place, Hibbert said he believed that CJC-1295 was permitted for use by athletes.

“The main thing it was used for was to get them over their injury quicker,” he said.

“Nothing was ever discussed about whether it was performance enhancing or not. We believed it wasn’t.”'


If that's true, why say this?:

'He said most of the jabs were self-administered by the players with vials of CJC-1295 kept in Hibbert’s fridge.

The CJC-1295 was initially sourced at a clinic in Castle Hill and later at a clinic run by Dank.

“Most of the time I stored it at my house, just to be on the safe side,” Hibbert said.

“They didn’t want any of their family knowing or anything like that.”'


What an absolute cluster-pharque of an investigation that was.

Very interesting - something of actual substance from the Tele...?!?!?

I'm guessing that it now gets just totally ignored by the NRL. It seems that ASADA (and the NRL and certain clubs) are the actual cheats.

Years after all said and done and pretty much in the league community it’s old news they drag it up with this revelation, which ain’t really anything new.
Makes even worse to be honest.
Wighton and Mitchell will walk free I assume with nothing more than an apology I assume.

Well never underestimate the personal hatred and biased “journalism” for want or a better word of the Sharks by Bourbon Bec. Thought it was absolutely fitting that she lived to see the Sharks win their maiden premiership less than a week before she passed.

Was certainly flabbergasted at the time the 3 months those 2 were here got the attention it did vs the years at manly. Wilson, massoud and hooper made it their mission to destroy this club. Scum.

Does us no favours bringing this shit up again. We were dumb and amateur and easy targets. Massoud, Wilson, Dank, Greenberg, all gone from our lives and we’ve won a comp. Don’t want to read anything about it ever again.
 

Frenzy.

Anyone hear Slats on SEN this arvo? What a cork. Someone asked him if the Mundine admission about under the table payments in ‘97 should mean the sharks are given the SL title and he says “the sharks shouldn’t get anything after the peptides scandal”.

14 years later. Wtf dumb ass.

And there be the answer to the reasonable "voice of reason "argument. Give the cheating feckers the slightest excuse to deflect attention from their own cheatin feckery and they will use it and continue to practice it. They just love Doormats.

Manchester City look like they have rorted a system more then any club in history, and will probably get just a slap on the wrist.
Any fine to them means nothing

The John Lang quote, 'the Sharks have no money and no influence' explains why it was so easy for this club to get stitched up. At that time, that Sharks were run as a rank amateur joint and were completely ill prepared to defence itself. The situation around Dank and Hibbert getting access shows just shoddy the place was run. A fall guy was needed and the Sharks were perfect for the role.

To the eternal credit of some key people in the years since, the Sharks now have more money and growing influence. Dino has a lot more respect and influence in the game than previous CEOs. The growth of the club in the past 8-10 years is commendable.

First time in our existence that we’ve had proper governance.... plenty had good intentions but not necessarily the business acumen required. Most obvious current example of a shambles of a board is the Goons.... Doust.....Albert and the old boys club. Can only hope the shambles continues down there for many years to come.
