organised crime and juice of the elephant pt V

[insert.pause]

The AFL's gigantic ego won't be able to comprehend the fact an international body have never heard of or care who they are.

The man alleged to have provided peptides for the Essendon players during the club's secret injecting program says he has no intention of co-operating with the WADA appeal.

"I believe they don't have the power to compel people to appear," biochemist Shane Charter said.

ASADA's case was damaged when it failed in a Supreme Court bid to force Charter to give evidence at the AFL anti-doping tribunal.

The anti-doping authority alleged Charter bought the banned peptide thymosin beta 4 in China, provided it to compounding chemist Nima Alavi, who mixed it into doses for sports scientist Stephen Dank, who used it for Essendon players.

While it was established that Charter bought a product he believed was thymosin beta 4, the tribunal was not satisfied the banned peptide was injected into the players.

"This is a little like the field umpire making a decision and then going to the video replay," Charter said.

"Unless they have new evidence I don't see anything changing."

Is he correct? I thought WADA had the power to subpoena witnesses, which would compel him to appear or face gaol time.

Funny if Essendon win GF then get found guilty.
I do feel for the players to some degree, they got stiffed by the club, then ASADA stuffed up the investigation, then the AFL covered over the facts and now they are back in the wringer. They all must have got some good "bonuses" not to be outraged at it all.

ps I think the sharks players were equally let down by an inept, corrupt, poorly managed club as well.

Mick Gatto was shopping him around to tell his story http://www.news.com.au/national/vic...d-story-to-media/story-fnii5sms-1227130030661

looks like someone paid him to keep quiet

 

[Perth Red]

Cant we all chip in to pay him to fess up? lol

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

Too bad Dean "The Weapon" Robinson settled out of court with Essendope.

Non-disclosure would of been required, you would think.

This is a funny article in retrospect.

"Weapon of Mass Destruction", :lol:, no shit!

It is very strange that if these people had nothing to hide that they would appear as witnesses.

 

[El Diablo]

one particular AFL journo is going to be really pissed at WADA http://www.randomhouse.com.au/books/chip-le-grand/the-straight-dope-9780522868500.aspx

if you ever read this jokers articles in The Aus then you would know he is a massive Essendope nut hugger

poor old Chip thought his boys were off the hook and decided to release a book lol

 

[betcats]

How dare WADA do their job! Lol this will be good. After I heard what ASADA knew about Essendon I was so surprised they let them off.

 

[Card Shark]

If WADA practices what it preaches, they will pursue the AFL for the truth!

Tick

Just saw Hird on Fox Sports News.

Had to laugh when he referred to the AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal as "independent".

 

[El Diablo]

get a load of this joker http://www.afl.com.au/news/2015-05-12/a-couple-of-days-of-noise

Earlier on Tuesday, leading Melbourne lawyer David Galbally QC, who acted for former Essendon fitness coach Dean Robinson in his lawsuit against the club last year, said if WADA won the appeal, the players faced two-year sanctions.

He called the anti-doping body's decision extraordinary, and didn't believe there was any new evidence to be produced.

Galbally said said the AFL was within its rights to reject WADA's findings.

"It could provoke a response from the AFL which is, 'We are not bound to follow the decisions of an outside body ruling us. We've already had this determined'," Galbally told Triple M.

"It's a total inconsistency by [ASADA CEO] Ben McDevitt in relation to the way he's going about it.

"It really doesn't say very much about the standards of ASADA, nor what's going to happen in the future if ASADA is going to be run like this."

Galbally described WADA's move as "a flawed prosecution".

would not surprise me if that's what the AFL did

Massoud won't be happy seeing his first sporting love is Essendon

Bloody Labor party dragging WADA into this now.

Kate Lundy's influence in Switzerland is all pervasive.

"Labor conspiracy"

 

[Perth Red]

Given they have no international comp I don't suppose pulling out of the International WADA agreement will be that big an issue for them. Someone mentioned the NFL don't subscribe to it either?

 

[El Diablo]

no more Government funding although they've already scabbed $3 billion of tax payers and any Labor government will bow to the AFL
