ACC and ASADA have no monies that the 6 Clubs can go after.
Plus, they are at pains to point out that they will NOT name any entity and did not.
It was the Media that leaked the 6 Clubs in the NRL.
Then each Club confirmed it by TV appearances - FFS.
Dumb move, as the clean urine tests were all that they hang their reputations on.
Yet in the very same disclaimer, they all said that they
do not have the charges nor the players information:huh:
The ASADA investigation is ongoing and nobody is cleared - including the other 10 Clubs IMO.
Currently ASADA have 34 Player names for potential or actual prohibited/illegal/match fixing cases. As the investigation proceeds, the web
will widen to others; and those named
may also be exonerated.
Having worked with data mining systems, the webs that show up are amazing. However, then you have the due process of proving it
Lawyers in Oz are laughing all the way to the Bank:dodgy:
Clubs should check their Contract Clauses and have each Player sign a statutory declaration now, then get on with footy. Their resources should be concentrated on fielding a competitive Team in 2013.
Any Player who is then proven by ASADA to be guilty,can face the consequences of their self interested, short term actions.
