Complete list of charges is there but leads off with:

STATEMENT OF GROUNDS
Essendon Football Club, take notice that the General Counsel of the Australian Football League lays a charge against you for breach of Rule 1.6 of the Rules for having engaged in conduct unbecoming or likely to prejudice the interests or reputation of the AFL or to bring the game of football into disrepute.
The following is a statement of the grounds for the laying of the charge:
Conduct unbecoming or likely to prejudice the interests or reputation of the Australian Football League or to bring the game of football into disrepute:
1. The conduct described below constituted conduct unbecoming or likely to prejudice the interests or reputation of the AFL or to bring the game of football into disrepute (as defined in Rule 1.6) on the part of the Club because, having determined to implement a scientifically pioneering program relating to the administration of supplements to its players, it:
(a) engaged in practices that exposed players to significant risks to their health and safety as well as the risk of using substances that were prohibited by the AFL AntiDoping Code and the World Anti-Doping Code;
(b) disregarded standard practices involving the human resources department when employing Robinson and Dank at the Club;
(c) failed to conduct routine, systematic pre-employment checks in respect of Robinson and Dank;
(d) failed to ensure that persons with the necessary integrity, reputation, qualifications and training were engaged by the Club to implement the program;
(e) failed to ensure that those implementing the program were adequately supervised;
(f) failed to devise or implement any adequate system or process to ensure that all substances provided to and used by players were safe and were compliant with the AFL Anti-Doping Code and the World Anti-Doping Code;
(g) failed to have proper regard to player health and safety, including failing to ensure that all substances had no potentially negative effects on players;

IT CONTINUES ON ALL THE WAY FROM (h) TO (o).

By reason of the matters referred to in paragraphs (a) to (o) above:
(i) players were administered substances that were prohibited by the AFL
Anti-Doping Code and the World Anti-Doping Code; alternatively
(ii) the Club is unable to determine whether players were administered
substances prohibited by the AFL Anti-Doping Code and the World AntiDoping Code.
