Here is (raw) video of Essendon Chairman Lindsay Tanner at the Essendon AGM on 5 December 2019 stating it doesn't matter if TB-4 was NOT listed on ASADA's 'Check Your Substances' List.

Mr Tanner claimed the Check Your Substances List is only meant to be a guide and is not the complete list of banned substances.

The Check your Substances List is the website database and the recommended source for banned substances to be used by all athletes. AFL football players are trained in its use. The Check your Substances database (pre- 2016) consisted of three information sources :MIMS (Monthly Index of Medical Specialties), the ARTG (Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods) and the WADA Banned List.

In 2016 MIMS was replaced with the GlobalPro system. So the Check your Substances Database is more comprehensive than just the WADA Banned List. 

For information:

- TB-4 was specifically added by ASADA to the Check Your Substances List the day before Essendon 'Self Reported" in 2013

 - The catch all phase S2.5 in WADA's Banned List included unspecified substances with no explanation or guidance from WADA about the content. 

- TB-4 was specifically added to WADA's banned list in 2018.

These comments by Mr Tanner raised even more questions: 

Q1. If Mr. Tanner believes that the "Check your Substances" List is a guide only, then how can charges against the players taking something not listed anywhere as banned be enforceable? 

Q.2.  How do athletes find out what substances are banned if the Check Your Substances List is a guide only?

Justice for the 34 renews its call for an Independent inquiry into anti-doping with wide ranging terms of reference which allow all sporting bodies, all athletes, and all interested parties to make representations.

This is in the national interest, and it will help all athletes, not just the Essendon 34.

Please support our petition and an independent inquiry to sort this mess out.
