Sports Scientist Stephen Dank Ignores Formal Notice Of Accusations Of Drug Possession

Sports scientist Stephen Dank has "refused to respond to a formal notice from anti-doping authorities accusing him of trafficking, administering and possessing banned peptides and human growth hormones" while working at Australian Football League sides Essendon and Gold Coast, according to Chip Le Grand of THE AUSTRALIAN. A 10-day window provided by anti-doping laws for Dank to "respond to a lengthy notice warning of 34 potential anti-doping violations while working for the two AFL clubs expires today." Neither Dank nor his lawyers are "intending to make any submissions to the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority." Dank's name will now "almost certainly be added to ASADA's Register of Findings, which would compel the AFL to issue an infraction notice" (THE AUSTRALIAN, 3/20).
