In our society there is still the presumption of innocence until proven guilty right?
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. That's why I succeed." -Michael Jordan

They've already been made to pay big time and all due to just being slack with management. Other than that, they haven't been found guilty of anything.
Perhaps we should strip Juventus' Serie A titles for something they did and got punshed for many years ago too.

Is Essendon* taking this through the courts just a time wasting tactic...?
Australian Sports Anti‑Doping Authority Act 2006

20C ASADA has privileges and immunities of the Crown
I think so.

1. They've already taken their "whack"
2. Given the above, time for the rest of the world to move on.

So being chucked out of finals, club fined $2m, draft picks taken away, for being found guilty of only poor management practices isnt a fair whack?

So they've been whacked for "poor management practices" only.

No whacks for "drug taking".

Draft picks taken, but then one given back. For no real reason.

Drug taking? You'll have to show me where this has been legally evidenced.
"Poor management practices only". Think about the "only" - rather harsh penalty I would have thought.

That's what the current trial is about, against ASADA. You know, the reason why the show cause notices have been issued.

I say only, as in, we only injected our players with potentially health-threatening substances, but we didn't keep records of what, who & how often they were.

You can't be pulled over for speeding, and be found to be unlicenced/unregistered/drunk, and say "But I paid the fine for speeding - that's enough".

If we are going to use law as example (speeding comparison), would it be acceptable that a court would impose such a penalty based on the 3 other "extras" if these 3 were UNproven but only the speeding part was? It would be chucked out/appealed in an instant!

Here's the thing about that right... remember how the Bombres were excluded from the finals last year? Well, that was because the club didn't keep the records of what they injected their players.

Now, they could all well and good have been totally legitimate injections. But you'd have to ask WHY the club didn't keep ANY records.

If there was nothing wrong with the injections, why not keep records? I mean, it's a pretty standard practice I would assume for any professional sporting team to keep medical records.

And that's why the club have been punished already. Poor management practices! Thing is, they have admitted to injections, but just so happens they werent on the banned list - things I believe they DO have records of.
