TOPIC:

Essendon Football Club have been rocked by an allegation some players used performance enhancing drugs during the 2012 season.It is believed a fitness staffer was behind the distribution. The Club have approached the AFL/ASADA to investigate the matter. At this stage it is not known how long this problem has been an issue.

Further to this story. The fitness staffer was sacked in November. This opens the question did they know of these allegations at the time of the sacking & hoped the matter would be suppressed. Interestingly the AFL have just gone through a inquest on drugs & how it handled by the Clubs & the governing body. No mention of this issue during this gathering!!

Could it be "the weapon" has been a naughty boy or was it someone else?

Was not the weapon BC.

To be fair the drug summit was about recreational drug taking.This is about a performance enhancing sustance. The question does need to asked when did this knowledge first surface? It is alleged that the Essendon FC required players last season to sign a document releasing the Club of responsibilty for any practices under taken in their fitness regime.The fitness science person in question has been named on Melbourne radio. He spent time previously at Geelong FC. This story has huge ramifications for the Bombers...& maybe other Clubs???

Are you sure about that VF??
The Weapon was in the same role at both Geelong & Gold Coast before Essendon & isnt it funny how all 3 clubs have come out in the media with a statement today on this topic!!

My info is it was "way above the weapons league". The bloke Dank seems to be the one
