THE man behind the controversial Cronulla and Essendon supplements drama was back watching rugby league on Thursday night.
Sports scientist Stephen Dank sat on the western side of ANZ Stadium watching South Sydney take on the Brisbane Broncos.
The Daily Telegraph snapped this exclusive photo and then approached Dank for comment but he declined.
He appeared happy and relaxed and greeted this reporter with a warm handshake.
Dank, a biochemist, confirmed he had attended other rugby league games over the past few years but he has been elusive over the past two and has shied away from publicity.
Dank last night claimed the supplements drama might soon flare up again but he wouldn’t elaborate.
He watched last night’s match with friends and is no longer connected with a club.
The NRL was aware Dank was at ANZ Stadium.
Dank was central to the supplements scandal, which began at the Sharks in 2011 and the Bombers a year later.
Dank, who previously worked with the Manly Sea Eagles, is known for his unorthodox treatments. He once used calf blood to help treat injuries while at Brookvale.
Last year Dank claimed he was bankrupt and in 2016 he was injured in a shooting at his Melbourne home.
He claimed the shooting was an attempt to stop him exposing an NRL player’s doping exploits.
