THE Essendon 34 have been found not guilty by the AFL anti-doping tribunal.

Tribunal chairman David Jones informed the players and their legal teams of the verdict this afternoon, 785 days after the drugs saga began.

The tribunal determined that there was insufficient evidence to uphold the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authorityâ€™s belief that the 34 past and present Bombers were injected with the banned drug Thymosin beta-4 during 2012.

The ruling means 18 players still at Essendon are free to play in Saturday nightâ€™s season-opener against Sydney.

Former Bombers Angus Monfries and Paddy Ryder, now at Port Adelaide, and Western Bulldogs forward Stewart Crameri have also been cleared of doping.

ASADA and the World Anti-Doping Agency have 21 days to appeal the decision

OK, so a Not Guilty result more or less means the last 3 years was for nothing?

Guess I can put Bellchambers in my SC team now

ASADA will appeal, and this will drag on for another year or so

What a mess

With some certainty you would think ASADA/WADA would appeal.

Dunno, the higher up the chain it goes the stronger the evidence would need to be to overturn the decision.

They probably will appeal but would need stronger evidence.
