They are facing a 'probe' for alleged dodgy substances taken during the 2012 training program.

"They admitted to us it was right on the edge of the levels you could be taking."

" ... it does seem very odd the type of stuff we were taking."

Yeah just read up, their fitness guy got sacked last night. Afl is gonna hit a showerstorm before round 1. This will be the beggining of the end for many afl officials/players who have been covering up drug use for years. Once oneperson comes out everyone will come out

HAha more than likely. SO... with 44 trades this year.. Do we load up on essendon players? Then trade them out as the drugs wear off ha?

The F.A.R.K. · February 05, 2013, 04:40:00 PM

I think everything the players took was legal but the dports scientist made sure he pushed the boundaries as far as possible. Think it will be a case of welfare in concern to the clubs officials and how they were treating their players. Dont think premiership points can be docked no laws were broken just the way the club handled everything was not very proffesional
