Essendon ASADA update

[Ringo]

Still not clear Tabs as apparently WADA have to clear as well and with the opposition and outcries nothing is certain.

Also reports of some ex-Cronulla players exploring legal avenues as to whether they can sue the club.

Just saying this here as it may be relevant down the track for Essendon.

I heard WADA had approved of it?

Apparently not Zip - Lawyers gave the impression that WADA had approved but definitely not the case from comments out with a number of people calling for WADA to reject. All evidences and basis for decision still has to be sent for final clearance.

A very sensible verdict


Essendon and James Hird have conducted themselves very poorly IMO.

[Nige]

Hird and Essendon application dismissed.

[Ricochet]

Yep

ASADA complied with the rule of law
ASADA lawfully provided the interim report to the AFL
ESS must cover costs

wack

[T Dog]

Get my lawyers around me....and get them to bring their friends  :-\

[Nige]

Any hope James Hird had of coaching again is pretty much dead and buried yeah?

[Capper]

This really hurts the dons now.

Having to pay all the legal costs too is going to hurt the club a ton as well
