Portrayal ... Stephen Dank has not been charged by the AFL. Source: James Croucher / News Limited
STEPHEN Dank is portrayed by the AFL's allegations as an out-of-control and disorganised sports scientist with his fingerprints practically on everything.
From the start of his employment in November 2011 to his sacking in September 2012, Dank is alleged to have run a clandestine injection program which included the use of banned substances, the use of drugs procured from a convicted drug dealer, the use of drugs purchased in China and a program which, at times, deceived his employers and bosses.
Among the allegations is that Dank and high performance manager Dean Robinson concocted from the outset to not use the word "peptide" and, instead, use phrases such "amino acids" or "amino acid blends", which added to the confusion of exactly what players and staff were injected with.
The cutting-edge supplements program saw Dank, known is some circles as "The Pharmacist", co-ordinate the private testing of players' blood at a NSW facility without the knowledge of the club officials.
"The players' blood was analysed for ... Insulin Growth Factor 1, which is prohibited by the AFL Anti-Doping Code and the World Anti-Doping Code," the AFL report said.
Dank ordered drugs/peptides from convicted drug dealer Shane Charter that were potentially used on players.
During December 2011, Charter ordered for Dank GHRP-2, GHRP-6, CJC-1295, Hexarelin, Thymosin beta-4 and Mechano growth factor.
In January, just two months after Dank began working at Essendon, club doctor Bruce Reid raised concerns about the supplement program in a letter intended for the board, but which it did not receive.
Reid detailed his lack of knowledge of some injections taking place and what was in those injections.
"I am sure Steve Danks (sic) believes that what we are doing is totally ethical and legal, however, one wonders whether if you take a long stance and look at this from a distance, whether you would want your children being injected with a derivative hormone that is not free to the community," Dr Reid wrote.
The AFL report has detailed that Dank arranged for injections and IV drips at two off-site facilities - across the road from Windy Hill and at a hyperbaric business in South Yarra.
Dank is accused of effectively conducting "human trials" on the players without the players' consent.
Dank has denied any wrongdoing at Essendon.
