[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Guardian Sans]ASADA believe this trip constituted one of the elements of the trafficking charges against Earl. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Guardian Sans]But the anti-doping watchdog also possessed text messages from Dank’s phone and others that implicated Earl in further trafficking activity. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Guardian Sans]The text messages suggested that Earl was the "middle man" in several transactions that do not involve other NRL players or athletes bound by the WADA code. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Guardian Sans]It’s understood those transactions involved prescription drugs, as well as WADA-banned substances, and took place for a period of time after Earl’s initial consultations with Dank and the Cabramatta clinic. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Guardian Sans]Mr Unsworth said there was no evidence suggesting Earl had distributed or sold the drugs, but the wide nature of the NRL’s Anti-Doping Policy definition of "trafficking" meant the charge could still be laid. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Guardian Sans]Earl was initially interviewed by ASADA on August 4 over allegations he had merely used banned peptides. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Guardian Sans]The trafficking accusations were first raised during that interview, but Mr Unsworth objected because the more serious claim was not raised in Earl’s initial interview notice. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Guardian Sans]He was issued with a second interview notice and re-interviewed the following day. Earl was confronted with the text messages and other evidence of trafficking during that meeting. The above is from an article that appeared on August 30 th 2013 in the Daily Telegraph...good enough?[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
