Subject: what a set up

Fuck the lot of you haters. If it happened to your team, (as no less than 12 clubs were implicated) you may not even be around. you can try and destroy Essendon, but we're bigger and better than the lot of you.

And a special fuck you to Gillard, Clare and Lundy, you scum of the earth.

--------------------------------------------------------------

Something really stinks when a government is pushing an allegedly independent authority to get it some scalps, apparently to save its ministers from looking like idiots:
AN independent inquiry will examine evidence of high-level political interference in the �Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority�s investigation into �Essendon�

Government sources last night expressed concern at the persistent involvement of Kate Lundy, Labor�s sports minister at the time, along with her advisers and senior departmental figures in discussions between ASADA and the AFL about how the investigation would run and the outcomes it could deliver�

Sworn affidavits and detailed notes by former ASADA chief executive Aurora Andruska and other anti-doping officials tendered to the court as part of the case have exposed political pressures placed on the anti-doping body to produce an outcome to suit the needs of the Gillard government and commercial considerations of the AFL�

The court was yesterday told that, in June last year, the Gillard government offered ASADA additional funding to meet an AFL deadline to take disciplinary �action against Essendon and Hird before last year�s finals series.

Previously undisclosed notes of an ASADA �strategy meeting�� also revealed a government plan to bolster the anti-doping authority�s legal team with lawyers provided by the AFL.

ASADA national manager of operations Trevor Burgess told the Federal Court he received a briefing on June 13 from Richard �Eccles, a deputy secretary within the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, about an AFL plan to take action against club staff and suspend Hird for at least six months�
