The Justice for the 34 Group will be releasing a series of videos, documents and evidence (in ‘exhibit’ form) which they believe will uncover what actually happened during the 2012 Essendon Football Club's supplement program. This information will be constantly released over the next two weeks, and a petition facebook updates will cover each one individually. CAS Arbitral Award, point 115, p21 CAS stating "TB4 administered by Dank to the players - which has been the Panel's preferred starting point..." Hansard, 3 March 2016, Senate transcript, p24, 25 McDevitt, CEO ASADA: "Frankly, this stuff about thymomodulin—the 'good' thymosin—was shown to be absolute rubbish" Exhibit F: Source [care; paywall]: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/sport/afl/asada-doctor-opens-up-on-dealings-with-stephen-dank/news-story/fe5bd1780e20372fafa4dffce2e992f9 The Australian reported Dank had spoken to Dr Peter Fricker, a former director of the Australian Institute of Sport about Thymomodulin in April 2012. LeGrand reported in November 2012, Dank again discussed the use of Thymomodulin as an immune response booster with both Dr Fricker and David Kenley, the chief executive of Metabolic Pharmaceuticals. Witness #3: Dr Peter Fricker OAM. Dank told The Australian that during a meeting in April 2012, Fricker expressed interest in the work Dank was doing at Essendon with Thymomodulin, an ­immunity-boosting thymosin pep­tide permitted for use by the World Anti-Doping Agency. According to Dank, Fricker told him: “It is good to see someone is starting to understand immunology and exercise.’’ Source: AFL Anti Doping Trial statement by Dr Fricker: “.. he was clearly interested in the performance benefits in terms of immune enhancement or enhancing recover in injured athletes and so forth…” Note: Thymomodulin is known to be an immunity enhancer. Witness #4: David Kenley OAM. Dank’s assertion is supported by David Kenley, the chief executive of Metabolic Pharmaceuticals, an Australian company that has spent 10 years and more that $50 million in developing AOD-9604. Kenley was not present for Dank’s first meeting with Fricker but accompanied him in November 2012 on a second trip to Qatar, where Fricker was working for ASPETAR, an orthopedic and sports medicine hospital. Kenley said that prior to their meeting with Fricker, Dank briefed him on what had been discussed in the first meeting. “He talked about a meeting he had with Fricker earlier in the year and he was talking about Thymomodulin,’’ Kenley said. “Fricker felt that Stephen was really on to something using Thymomodulin as an immune response booster. “I am absolutely sure it was Thymomodulin. That is something that stuck in my head. I had never heard of Thymosin Beta-4 until this whole thing blew up.’’ ASADA has excluded from its brief of evidence witness testimony and documents supporting the use of Thymomodulin at Essendon. Note: Witness #1: Jobe Watson, Former Captain of the Essendon Football Club - Signed an affidavit stating he was given Thymomodulin, the good thymosin. Witness #2: Dean Robinson, Essendon Football Club Fitness Coach - Discussed Thymomodulin also known as Thymosin; he stated he had never heard of Thymosin Beta 4 until ASADA mentioned it. More to come. Kindly support a Senate Inquiry into this whole sordid affair by signing this petition, and asking others to support it. Please use the links below. Thank you for your support and patience. For further information, contact Justice of the 34 via their Facebook page.
