"TWELVE AFL clubs have conducted supplement programs that lacked "a single point of accountability".

After Essendon's extensive and largely unsupervised supplement program was exposed this year, the AFL conducted a survey of supplement use across the league.

According to a report on the league website, it found 11 other clubs were flirting with danger by using supplements that were not clearly understood or documented.

Players from nine clubs independently sourced supplements."


...well, saad certainly did.......source his own supplements that is...

Collingwood look like one. I'm sure some are just literally taking supplements but the one that went rogue was Essendon. A sports science guy would probably be in charge of buying and administering supplements. These could be vitamins in over the top amounts. the club that has stepped over the edge and into the realm of illegal supplements is Essendon. If the others are at the same level we will need to play VFL free to air next year.

It comes as no surprise in the times that we are in. Lots of Clubs "meddling" in this area.

Despite all the talk of "professionalism" in AFL ranks, I am continually surprised by the lack of professionalism in many areas.

Taking a suppliment that contains a banned substance is hardly systematic needling.
However a banned substance is a banned substance , and no doubt they all turn off when ASADA comes to talk to them.
As so called professional athletes they should be aware of what goes into their bodies.

As inges said yesterday on twitter, supplements can be as simple as a multi vitamin. The non supervision is the real story. Love the bombers using this as a crutch lol
