CAS FINDINGS should be declared NULL and VOID by Bruce Francis.
To all @EssendonFC fans @ringsau @KevinHillier @SENNews @rohan_connolly @daniellonergan @Melbchief @SkyNewsRicho @TraceyLeeHolmes @theheraldsun, Bruce Francis has stripped through the CAS @wada_ama findings.
Guys
I don’t know who angers me the most – the nobodies such as Carly Crawford and David Hurley who occasionally crawl out of their holes to denigrate people, or the disgraceful CAS panellists.
Inter alia, Hurley and Crawford’s front page Herald Sun story (13 January 2016) quotes the panellists:
“All players had blood tests before the administration of the injections commenced, an exercise recommended for peptides like TB-4, and for which no other purpose other than a “sinister” one could be identified,” it said. [my emphasis]
The Panellists were quoting (para 120 iii of the judgment) from the interview between ASADA, the AFL and Essendon’s doctor De Morton. The transcript appears on page 310 of ASADA’s Interim Report. Guess what? Dr De Morton was talking about IGF-1. Dank didn’t test for TB-4. Dr De Morton did not mention TB-4 in his interview. But in a reprehensible action, the panellists substituted TB-4 for IGF-1. This unconscionable action should be enough to declare the findings null and void. There is more exposures to come but on this alone I don’t trust the Europeans as far as I could kick them. This is the type of thing ASADA did on many occasions in its Interim Report.
For those two or three people in Australia who were not leaked a copy of ASADA’s confidential Interim Report, page 310 inter alia, states:
“Of the tests conducted in respect of the players’ blood, the levels of IGF-1 (Insulin Growth Factor-1) were represented. The peculiar nature of this test was reflected in the following interview excerpts of Dr De Morton:
ASADA: What is an IGF-1
De Morton: IGF-1 is Insulin Growth Factor 1, which is – I think – is IGF-1 a banned substance … It is IGF-1 is, yeah, yeah
AFL: Well, why would you do it?
De Morton: Well, that’s right – why would you do – I mean, I haven’t done a growth hormone test for 30 years, and it’d be on a kid who isn’t growing properly, not on an – athlete. So you know, what the hell was going on.
ASADA: The fact that [IGF-1] appears – do you have to specifically test for it?
De Morton: You would have to specifically test for it … it’s not a garden variety test. I mean I’ve never ordered an IGF-1 in my life.
ASADA: Can either yourself – or perhaps [Dr De Morton] explain to me why there would be a need to check for IGF-1, sinister or otherwise?
De Morton: Well – well, I mean, you can only think sinister really.”
I have had a great day. I have knocked over two of the strands (including the cornerstone) of the cable, exposed the panellists as being unsuitable to sit in judgment on the players and probably exposed the ACC for leaking a sealed document. There is much more to come on identical lines. The strands will be ripped to pieces.

NB AFL is highlighted in yellow because it was one of only four questions asked by the AFL investigators that was deemed enlightening enough to include in the Interim Report
All players had blood tests before the administration of the injections commenced, an exercise recommended for peptides like TB-4, and for which no purpose other than a “sinister” one (the epithet) of Dr De Morton, a former club Dr) could be identified
