Organised crime and ElephantJuice in sport investigation part IV

[magpie4ever]

Again, you totally gloss over what I am saying.


Its more than possible to focus on several things at once.

Im very keen to see the outcome of the investigation. And for the umpteenth time I am keen to see cheats outed.


At the same time it is possible for me to be critical of the politicisation of the investigation.



Now stop being a complete and utter f*ckwit and recognise not everyone has tunnel vision like you. And somehow not being a sycophantic supporter of the investigation processes doesnt mean I am somehow not supportive of outing drug and match fixing cheats.

And you have been concentrating on that like a hungry dog with a bone. You made your opinion known on the press conference about thousand times and even with a change of government, you are still going on about it.

The real issue for the fans is: is there any real substance to the allegations and the investigation; not the bloody press conference - it is done and dusted.

 

[Spot On]

Most people would remember that press conference due to its staging and rhetoric. The language used and the four pillars of Sport in this country, assembled together with the blank looks on their faces and their inner voice screaming, "Get me the f**k out of this place." The steely resolve Lundy tried to portray as she looked down the barrell and that Martin Short look-a-like and his silly comments. It's still what stands out to most people over the past eight months.

I would say the most stand out comments were the Sharks chairman Damian Irvine claims Sharks players were injected with horse ElephantJuice. Coming from an NRL club chairman that had more wow effect that some dribbling politician.

Hey Spotty,

If that is the case, it says a great deal about the intelligence of the general sports populace - the brains of a slug.

Move on, FFS

Or just very good memories dear Maggie. Major incidents tend to stick in one's mind like that. It was sold as the end of sport as we know it so many sports fans will have that day front and centre of the memory bank when recalling this ongoing investigation.

I'm sure the general sports populace will always recall the 'darkest day' headline no matter how dumb they are perceived to be.

 

[magpie4ever]

Well I'm sure the general sports populace will always recall the 'darkest day' headline no matter how dumb they are perceived to be.

Yeah, said by a commentator; not anyone at the presser. But most people refuse to believe it.

Do you?:lol: Yes, it is a test.;-)

Fahey slams Demetriou over WADA leak call

Date
September 21, 2013

World Anti-Doping Agency president John Fahey has clipped the AFL's Andrew Demetriou for linking the international ElephantJuice in sport authority to a media report that claimed Essendon footballers would soon receive infraction notices.

Demetriou said on Friday that the league consulted the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority and federal government representatives this week, but this gave the AFL chief executive no reason to believe anything major had changed since ASADA delivered an interim report on its probe last month.

While noting that ASADA's investigation into Essendon was ongoing, Demetriou said: "We spoke to ASADA and we spoke to representatives of the federal government, and they told us that story [about imminent infraction notices] was incorrect.

"From the conversations that my people have had, the guys working in the integrity unit, and of course our general counsel, they are unaware of anything that's changed [since the interim report was tabled]. And that's coming from ASADA. So I don't know where the report [about infraction notices] came from … I suspect it probably came out of North America, and it might be something to do with WADA."

The suggestion that Montreal-based WADA might have informed a media report forecasting imminent issuing of infraction notices for anti-doping rule violations at Essendon offended Fahey.

"I regard such comments as rubbish," the WADA chief and former NSW premier said on Friday.

While giving the impression he was less than impressed with Demetriou's commentary, Fahey would not elaborate, but continues to watch the doping probes in Australia's two major football codes with interest.

After an extraordinary two-day commission sitting last month, the AFL issued its own sanctions against Essendon - the club was removed from this year's finals series, fined $2million and will be penalised in the draft for the next two years.

The club's senior coach, James Hird, was suspended for 12 months, assistant coach Mark Thompson fined $30,000, and football boss Danny Corcoran was suspended for six months, with two months of that suspended.

Charged with upholding the WADA code, the government-funded ASADA would take its own action against players or officials it believed had committed anti-doping rule breaches.

There is no limit on the time ASADA can take to investigate cases of interest.

There ya go.

SYDNEY Roosters are about to be dragged into the NRL's doping investigations, with two players poised to be interviewed by anti-doping authorities.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal the pair are about to receive letters requesting they attend interviews in the coming weeks.

It’s believed the Roosters players’ names came up following the charging of Canberra star, Sandor Earl. Already, the exhaustive investigation has included interviews with more than 40 officials and players from Newcastle, Manly and the Cronulla Sharks.

ASADA has appointed three full-time investigators to the NRL’s investigation since August and has more wide ranging powers which allows it to use phone records, emails and other communications as evidence to summons players or officials for interviews.

The NRL is expected to hand down findings from its own integrity unit investigation and the ASADA report at the same time in about four weeks.

Senior officials and football staff from at least two of the clubs are in the firing line for failing to exercise their duty of care to players when Stephen Dank oversaw their supplements program.
These include Sharks coach, Shane Flanagan, former strength and conditioning coach, Trent Elkin (now at Parramatta) and several other staff members who were sacked from the Sharks several months ago.

They have all continually denied they were involved in any peptide injection program at the club. Dank has repeatedly refused to be interviewed by ASADA, the AFL or the NRL and also denies any wrongdoing.

The NRL refused to comment on the new developments on Friday and would not confirm the names of either Roosters player. We understand, however, that trafficking allegations are part of the investigation.

The latest revelations that players from yet another club may be involved in the peptide scandal underlines the seriousness of the allegations made in February this year.
In the AFL, the Essendon investigation findings will also be handed down in coming weeks, with at least three senior football officials, including suspended coach, James Hird, also facing serious charges of breaching their duty of care to players.

While AFL boss, Andrew Demetriou has denied newspaper reports that life bans may be slapped on several Essendon officials, The Daily Telegraph understands ASADA’s report outlines their alleged involvement in the administration of peptides to the entire team over a 12-month period.

Both the NRL and the AFL are signatories to the WADA and ASADA codes, and must therefore place themselves at the mercy of the drug agencies if violations are uncovered. The NRL says it will only deal with the facts as they come to light and these will be released in mid-October.

hey I reckon there's been another mistake in the currency conversion, that soccer match fixing was not to the tune of $2 billion, but was really only about $2 million. I say only, but obviously still a tremendous amount of dough to plebs like you guys. But for the likes of corrupt ALP ratbags MacDonald and Obeid it would be little more than pocket change, they'd probably have used it to wipe their stinking corrupt ALP arses on!!
