JOHN NOLAN: 2 APRIL 2015

Dear Mr Nolan

I think we have a winner. In my tiredness, I forgot “Assumptions & Formula”, aka John Nolan” of ASADA, who thought the genuine injection figures were too low to get a conviction, so, he wanted to add some water to the milk!!

The claims of the number of injections administered to Essendon players:

Andrew Demetriou – 10,000 plus injections

John Fahey – 4,000 plus injections 

Gillon McLachlan – thousands of injections

Ben McDevitt – hundreds, if not thousands of injections. 

On 15 July, John Nolan (ASADA) asked Abraham Haddad of the AFL to prepare an injections table based on assumptions and a formula (my emphasis). “Not really what we are looking for. 14 out of 58 persons at EFC remember injections being referred to as Amino Acids. If we add the multi vitamin aspect then it is a little more convincing.” [my emphasis].
