Who is this Rory Cahill?

Re: Stick with code, says WADA

Mark Ricciuto clearly has some very reliable sources!

And he hasn't backed down. He is 100% certain that Hird will be gonski by tomorrow afternoon.

Interesting point. Ricciuto reconfirmed his source was "trusted" after Essendon denied his story. Must be pretty sure

So we have Dank previously admitting on the public record to giving the players Thymosin Beta 4, which is a banned PED under the s2 classification. Then he later tries to retract that statement, even though there's an invoice for Thymosin directly linked to Essendon. And it was administered to 11 players.

I reckon all the positive spin and puff pieces in the media are designed to give the club false hope until Round 23, then the gloves will well and truly come off. I cannot see how WADA will allow anything less than the mandatory 2 years for these 11 players, considering that Thymosin Beta 4 is a known banned PED. Did the players know what they were taking? Probably not (although they stupidly signed consent forms). Is ignorance an excuse? Never has been, and won't be in this instance. They'd probably get 6 months minimum for taking an s0 classified drug like AOD-9604, but Thymosin takes it to a whole new level. The club is rooted (including the players).

Only vitamins eh Spike

I believe Spike is still picking Hird's teeth out of his knee. I don't think Spike will ever believe he can ever make it up to James after nearly killing him.

Getting serious... could it be?

@rmcahill
BREAKING: AFL to confirm Hird bound by Anti Doping Code, ASADA report to confirm hexarelin use. Hird gone. Stories to follow.

He can't back away from this quickly enough now.

For record, I didn't even write the story all this is coming from. Deleted initial Tweets. Not CONFIRMED Hird took hex. He denies this.

To clarify, no PROOF Hird took hexarelin and he has denied. Until proven, entitled to innocence. But he IS subject to AFL Anti Doping Code.

I should correct that then.

Jeez, calm down everyone. For record, until shown Hird did anything banned, entitled to presumption of innocence. Retract "gone" claim.

Should have said "believe" he is gone. Not enough characters!

Indeed. Immediately clarified Hird not proven and entitled to innocence though.

For record, I didn't even write the story all this is coming from. Deleted initial Tweets. Not CONFIRMED Hird took hex. He denies this.

Re: Stick with code, says WADA

BOOM.

Now to have players banned and the Club deregistered for a period of time.

We can scavenge their sponsorship deals and gain some ground on the bigger clubs.

Has something been announced?

We can scavenge their sponsorship deals and gain some ground on the bigger clubs.

And their favourable Etihad deal.
