I heard the same BH, I think it's Essendung trying to placate the players to avoid legal action.

I'm still curious as to how the players can sue their club given they lied to the drug testers on 30 occasions when asked if they were taking any supliments. If they were being told by the club that what they were being given was safe and above board why wouldn't they answer truthfully .............. the obvious answer is that they were told to lie by the club making the players as guilty as the club in this whole disaster so hopefully their cases get thrown out. The only reason certain player managers are pushing legal action is so they can get a cut of any settlement, they dont give a rats about the players welfare as they would have been blind Freddy not to know what was going on with their clients.

My understanding is they will be under a reduced pay yet to be agreed. Doubt the players or their managers will agree to that. Players managers and lets not forget the lawyers SS who are undoubtedly queuing up right now with feverish grins.
