DEPENDING on who you talk to at Manly, Stephen Dank could be many things. A mystery man. Or a scapegoat.
But everyone who dealt with the sports science guru - across five NRL and two AFL clubs - can agree on one thing. When it came to maximising performance, he knew exactly what boundaries to push and wasn't afraid to do so.
Those boundaries attracted interest when his latest club, Essendon, threw themselves at the mercy of the AFL and ASADA yesterday after being informed of potential issues with their supplement program.
At a snap press conference in Melbourne yesterday afternoon, Essendon chairman David Evans and coach James Hird rocked Australian sport when they revealed the club had disturbing information about its supplement program.
Dank's role has attracted interest because he left the Bombers last year amid concerns about the outfit's sports science department.
At Windy Hill he reunited with conditioner Dean "The Weapon" Robinson, who had also worked under Hasler at Manly.
Essendon last night stood down Robinson, pending the outcome of investigations.
Robinson came under sustained fire last year thanks to an extraordinary incidence of soft-tissue injuries at Essendon, which saw the Bombers lose 10 of their remaining 13 games to plunge from finals calculations.
"The integrity at the club is critical, and that's why we've moved quickly to contact the AFL," Evans said.
"Of course this is a very distressing time for our club, we believe as a club we have done everything right to be compliant with the AFL and ASADA.

And in the blinking of an eye - ALL those samples are tested - All relevant questions asked ?
And Manly are proved to have absolutely nothing to answer for.
Well bugger me - I never expected that
Strange that it comes a day after Danks,(aka - captain calf blood) threatens civil action

There's a rumour doing the rounds that 17 Manly players have tested positive, Menzies was the whistle blower, they're getting stripped of two premierships. Jeremy Smith introduced Cronulla to drugs, Newcastle is also screwed to the tune of 15 players and Wayne Bennett is in on it.
It's all bullshit.
It's all bullshit.

my mail is from no email.. but c what happens
OK if it is all legit then here is my question:
What about Des and the Bulldogs?.
If the Manly of the Des era is in trouble then what does that mean for Des and his employment at the dogs.
And if this is legit why isn't it breaking anywhere?.

The Bullfilth are a scum club so will back Hasler to the hilt. He'll be labelled a fraud of a coach though.storm77 wrote:OK if it is all legit then here is my question:
