Peptides arent illegal they are basically just amino acids of various sorts. The general public can buy them. They werent on the banned list. From a dees supporter
It's not about James. It's about the 34 players....... Ha ha only joking. Do you seriously think that someone looking remorseful is evidence of zero guilt? Funny.
So Bomber Thomson was an illicit drug user and mentor of James Hird. Stephen Dank gets hired when he already had a dubious reputation of supplying performance enhancing drugs. The doctor and other officials turn a blind eye to what players are being given. Then players are forced to pay the biggest price.
Jobe Watson & the Essendon 34 were totally innocent. James Hird suffered trial by media and was crucified, made to be the scapegoat. Yes in hindsight James made some mistakes but under no circumstances was he complicit or supportive of anything illegal or non WADA Compliant.
LOVE YOU JAMES HIRD....THANK YOU SO SO MUCH....I don't know you....I wish I did....so I could see you and tell you how much of a great person you are....I hope your doing great now....u deserve it.....and you were 1000% the right person for the job... So many of these interviewer's look at things in hindsight. Everyone know big business have many levels of responsibility passed down through the business.... Although as we know the top dog or the one with the best reputation gets thrown under the bus. Human beings continually prove how horrible and canabalistic we can be... I TRULY WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY THE BEST IN LIFE YOUR JUST SO AMAZING.
I remember Hird on the Footy Show speaking in a negative manner about Alastair Lynch. It was just after Lynch realized he had unknowingly been taking a banned substance to treat his CFS. Lynch immediately stopped taking the substance and reported the situation to the AFL. He was completely upfront about what had happened. And here we have Hird taking no responsibility. How about apologizing to the Essendon fans and, more importantly, the players whose names have been tarnished, especially the poor bugger who had the Brownlow Medal taken from him
These shows post and want comments ,Reply then. Why an audience ? Come on STILL NO ANSWERS AFL. Demetriou ruined the game. Im talking the game. Grub. Gill McLachlan should also hold his head in shame. Both grubs.
I blame bomber Thompson 100% they had links at Geelong together it's black and white and he got away with it.. second time the toyed with drugs he didn't but lol..love bomber but I blame him..
Unfit to lead - pure and simple. I love the fact that Essendon supporters can't put their cultish love for Hird (and their denial of the WADA outcome) with their team's piss poor performance over the past decade. Long may it continue,
He didn't get caught, no one was actually proven to have done anything illegal and the punishment was handed down as a sign to the world anti doping agency that "we are great and you should like us". I'd love for your club to be treated the same way and then be a husk of its former self for years. Knowing those who say dumb shit like this, it's either a Collingwood fan that have lost more grand finals than any team and have had more controversies more often than any other team with essendon following closely behind. Or you're a Carlton fan.....if that's true, I hope your done crying after that fucking loss to Collingwood the other day hahahaha.
Done a hammy thats not really healing well. Got some sweetbreads out thawing, going to see how good this thymosin is. Clearly it has to be better than the banned synthetic version.
It is all about the optics on this one. Essendon were sacrificed so that no other club would ever dare go down that path of supplying supplements without absolute verification of status and documentation of use and suppliers.
Yes. The peptide wasnt on the banned list though and they were all suspended anyway. It was basically illegal what happened to essendon. But because the media hung them out for years before the investigation was complete they were already guilty in public opinion. Peptides are just amino acids.
