Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2534662, member: 8215"] Panther's response, also in regards to paying for the invoices explained (as well as the 'overdue' status): [url=http://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/penrith-panthers-ceo-warren-wilson-hits-back-at-claims-by-former-player-sandor-earl/story-fndv34xp-1226728500821]Penrith Panthers CEO Warren Wilson hits back at claims by former player Sandor Earl | News.com.au[/url] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS][B]PENRITH Panthers chief executive Warren Wilson has fired back at disgraced NRL star Sandor Earl's claims the club was aware he was receiving special peptide injections as recommended by controversial sports scientist Stephen Dank.[/B] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Wilson told [I]mX[/I] on Friday morning the club disputes Earl's version of events, but admitted it was forced to make significant changes to the supervision of its medical program since the Australian Crime Commission's Drugs in Sport report landed in February, where all player treatment of any kind must first be signed off on by the club doctor.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS]This was not the case in 2011 when Earl sought special peptide injections from an injury clinic in Cabramatta for which the club paid $1160 in medical invoices.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Wilson said it is impossible for a club to know what players are doing every moment of every day.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS]"I can only tell you what happened and what we've done going forward, but I do have a problem where a bloke says we snuck out and we weren't going to tell anyone and then a couple of breaths later says: 'They should have known.'[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS]"He said last night Dank had said to him, 'Don't tell anybody and let's take this off somewhere else.' Later on he says the club should have known. Well, hang on a minute, how would the club know if all of this was taken away (from the club) and you hadn't said anything?[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS][IMG]http://resources0.news.com.au/images/2013/09/27/1226728/500784-sandor.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR=#6F6F6F]Sandor Earl as a Panther back in 2011.[/COLOR] [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS]"Those invoices were for consultation with a registered doctor. They were for injections by a registered doctor.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS]"They were six months old because there was a cash crisis at Penrith. They came across to the main office and they were put through Medicare. On a reasonable person test, there is nothing wrong with those invoices.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS]"The greatest problem with the entire system, not just at Penrith, but with all clubs, is that you can only control them when they're under your control. What people do in their own time, you can't control.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS]"So we've put in place a whole number of systems and practices now that will go a long way to prevent anything like this happening. I will never, ever give anyone 100 per cent assurance because the world doesn't work like that.''[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS]Wilson said he could not comment on whether the club will consider legal action against Earl, but is keeping a dossier of all statements made against it.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=Trebuchet MS][COLOR=#FFFFFF][FONT=arial] [h=3]NAIVE SANDOR EARL PAYING THE PRICE1:20[/h] [LIST] [*][URL="http://video.news.com.au/v/135049/Naive-Sandor-Earl-paying-the-price"]Play video[/URL] [/LIST] [IMG]http://content5.video.news.com.au/NDM_CP_-_Fox_Sports/250/31/FSD_260913_NRL_EARL_NAIVE.jpg[/IMG] Disgraced NRL player Sandor Earl says he was naive to trust controversial sport scientist Stephen Dank.
