The main game

ASADA and the AFL have alleged through infraction notices that the supplements program implemented at Essendon during 2011-2012 included the banned substance thymosin beta-4.

It is estimated that as many as 20 of the 34 players remain on Essendon's list heading into the 2015 season. The players' identities have not been disclosed, although it's believed the support staff person in question is Stephen Dank, the architect of the supplements program.
