- Supplements scandal at AFL's Essendon
- Implicated sports scientist worked with NRL's Manly
- No suggestion any wrongdoing at Manly
THE sports scientist at the centre of a probe into AFL club Essendon was part of the medical team for the Manly Sea Eagles during its 2008 NRL premiership-winning season.
Essendon today called on the AFL and the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority to help investigate the club's 2012 fitness program, after receiving new information about supplements given to players.
Stephen Dank, a sports scientist implicated in administering supplements at the club, will be at the centre of the investigation.
He was sacked by the Bombers in 2012.
A Manly Sea Eagles spokesperson confirmed to news.com.au that Mr Dank had been part of the Eagles' sports science staff. There is no suggestion Mr Dank was involved in any wrongdoing at Manly.
An article published in Sydney's Daily Telegraph in 2008 reported that Mr Dank was a "suited Sydney physiologist who attends every Manly training session".
Mr Dank "travels the globe, employs three assistants and refuses to share his knowledge with anyone," the article said.
Essendon sacked Mr Dank amid concerns about his conduct with players.
The Bombers received information over the past 48 hours about supplements used in 2012 which club chairman David Evans said was "concerning".
Mr Evans called on ASADA and the AFL to assist an investigation into the use of the supplements.
In 2012, the Bombers slipped from second to 10th on the AFL ladder in 11 weeks.
Mr Evans said: "Of course this is a very distressing time for our club, we believe as a club we have done everything right to be compliant with the AFL and ASADA.
"We have moved quickly to call the AFL and ASADA to seek a clean bill of health."
Bombers coach James Hird said he was disappointed with the situation.
"As a coach I take full responsibility for what happens in our footy department," Mr Hird said.
"It's my belief we've done everything right."
