Dons still waiting for ASADA evidence

PLAYERS issued show cause notices by ASADA are still waiting to see the anti-doping body's evidence so they can best respond to the allegations of possible use of a banned drug.

Essendon on Monday made an application to the Federal Court for ASADA's investigation to be halted while the club and coach James Hird test the legality of ASADA's joint investigation with the AFL.

DONS MOVE TO STOP ACTION AGAINST PLAYERS

EVANS ASSURED PLAYERS WOULDN'T BE BANNED

That application will be heard on Friday, but if it is unsuccessful the players' response to the show-cause notices will be due next month.

Asked yesterday if it would show players the evidence against them, ASADA told the Herald Sun: "It would be inappropriate for ASADA to comment on matters related to discussions, or possible discussions, between ASADA and other parties."

Earlier this month, 34 current and former Bombers players were hit with show cause letters, formally alleging they had been administered banned peptide thymosin beta 4 during the club's 2012 supplements program.

Essendon included a supporting affidavit from acting chief executive Xavier Campbell to its injunction application.

Campbell's statement sets out the club's reasons for seeking the injunction and the effects to be felt by the club if it is unsuccessful — at its most extreme degree, that the Bombers would be unable to field a team if all the players were banned.

Essendon and Hird's bid to have the ASADA investigation thrown out also begins on Friday, with all parties asked by the court to file and serve by 4pm today any further evidence; an indication of any agreed or disputed facts; and outline from both the applicant and respondent if the substantive legal issues that will be raised.

It is at Justice John Middleton's discretion whether any, part or all of the material filed today is made public before Friday's 10.15am hearing, which will be shown on ABC TV.
