ALAN SULLIVAN QC: 23 FEBRUARY 2018
Dear Mr Sullivan
As explained in earlier correspondence, I have spent over 11,000 hours on the ASADA/AFL/Essendon saga and have distributed over one million words.
I am comfortably satisfied that the enclosed document provides irrefutable proof that the Court of Arbitration for Sport panellists, who included the former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of New South Wales James Spigelman AC QC, who heard the case, on this occasion were biased, inept and arguably corrupt.
Unfortunately, only Alan Jones (2GB); Warwick Hadfield (Radio National); Tracey Holmes (ABC); Michael Warner (Herald Sun) and Graham Cornes (The Adelaide Advertiser) seem to care about the greatest injustice in Australian sporting history.
In contrast to you, I don’t have any skin in the game, and have never been paid a cent for my work. Nevertheless, I have devoted nearly five years fighting for justice. To my knowledge, as a member of the world-wide CAS panel, it is in your interests, to ensure you are not a member of an organisation that delivers corrupt decisions. To that end, I urge you to:
- Take an hour to read the enclosed document
- Explain to WADA and ASADA that it is in their interests to voluntarily overturn the decision to find 34 players guilty of being administered Thymosin Beta-4.
If I can spend 11,000 hours with no skin in the game, I am sure that you are honourable enough to devote about an hour of your time to right a great injustice. CAS’s and your reputation as a member of CAS depend upon it.
Bruce Francis
