Message: [QUOTE="Huge, post: 3132930, member: 1992"] What had Dank done prior to 2012/13 that should prompt Flanagan to check on him and secondly, as it was a medical thing why would Flanagan question the okay from Cronulla's doctor/s and management? He's just the coach and like your Storm teams coach he probably didn't know anything about it, it was after all a management decision. Flanagan didn't decide all this off his own bat, it was approved by two medical teams and two administrations from two different clubs. It wasn't Flanagan's call as he has no expertise in medicine so clearly he simply followed the medical advice and the administrations approval. Lost sight of the real reason for the supplements programme? It was to aid recovery times, not improve performance so it isn't much of a stretch to see why Essendens management, Cronulla's management, Essendens medical team and Cronulla's medical team all thought it was fine and within the rules. Even Gallen took the trouble to ensure it was all above board contacting Cronulla's management for the go ahead. There's even evidence he checked ASADA website to ensure it was above board. Sadly y a lot of people were duped including both clubs coaches. Flanagan did **** up with the emails but that isn't cheating in any real sense, anymore than speeding. He broke the sanctions and that certainly merited punishment but cheating the competition and others, nah. [/QUOTE]
