The Club has no knowledge of any 'clinical trial' and if this is found to be true, it is deeply distressing and disturbing, and goes to the heart of what may have been perpetrated at our Club.

We are in the hands of ASADA, and we continue to support our players during this process and we have brought in independent medical and pharmacological advice which has provided comfort to the Club about the safety of our players.

We have been limited in what we can comment on, and more than anything else, we want the ASADA investigation to be completed. There is information we still do not have as a Club and we are looking to the ASADA investigation to uncover the full extent of what happened at the Club.
