Club link to drug dealer

http://www.theage.com.au/afl/afl-news/club-link-to-drug-dealer-20130206-2dz05.html

A CONVICTED drug trafficker who calls himself Dr Ageless supplied the Essendon Football Club's sacked sports scientist with potentially illegal supplements.

Biochemist Shane Charter is alleged to have provided Stephen Dank - a central figure in the scandal - with supplements sourced from Asia.

It is understood Mr Dank worked closely with Mr Charter to provide players with supplements, which are believed to have cost as much as $30,000. Mr Dank is believed to have been sacked after the club discovered unauthorised expenditure.

Sports scientist at centre of Essendon drugs probe, Stephen Dank, claims jabs were clean

http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/afl/sports-scientist-at-centre-of-essendon-drugs-probe-stephen-dank-claims-jabs-were-clean/story-e6freck3-1226572105326

THE man at the centre of the Essendon drugs scandal, Stephen Dank, claims the injections he gave players last year were clean.


Off-site needle common practice
Dons ignored needle concerns
Big questions asked of Bombers

The club's former performance scientist yesterday emphatically rejected suggestions he had overseen the inappropriate use of supplements at the Bombers in 2012.

Asked directly by the Herald Sun yesterday: "Did you give the players banned/illegal/performance-enhancing drugs?"

Dank said: "No."

Herald Sun: "You didn't?"

Dank: "No."

But investigations are under way, as revealed in the Herald Sun yesterday, with the Australian Crime Commission heading a probe into sports, organised crime, Customs and performance-enhancing drugs.

It is understood the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority, in conjunction with the AFL, will make a major announcement today about drugs in sport and its infiltration by organised criminals.

there is one very interesting part of the article above:

It has been confirmed footy's drugs probe was triggered on Monday when authorities contacted Essendon chiefs and warned them about serious investigations linked to the Bombers and other sporting codes.

Essendon immediately notified the AFL and asked the Australian Anti-Doping Authority to launch its own investigation into possible inappropriate use of supplements at the club in 2012.


So it seems things are about to go down in other codes as well

Throw the book at them filthy junkie cheats :lol: ;)

Thank god its not the crows for once :oops:

To hard to speculate on what has/hasnt happened, but the thing that doesnt help the Dons is the AFL having no control over the penalty.

Cronulla has talked about Danks time with them. He's consulted for a fair few NRL clubs as well. Could get interesting.

If the AFL is serious, there will be no Essendon in 2013.

12 month ban, posibly 24-36 month ban.

The Tippet saga is laughable now...

What team should be elevated to the AFL to substitute for Essesdon...?

Steven Trigg recieved a 12 month ban. :shock:

If the AFL is serious, they wont do anything but fine them, take away points and suspend them from the draft.

Anything else above that is just shooting themselves in the foot.

They will deal with the players but the AFL will trot out the "bringing the game into disrepute" line and deal with the club.

But if 20-30 players get suspended like the media are alluding to there will be no club
