Club Statement
The Essendon Football Club wishes to refute the suggestion that four of its players were the subject of the case studies referred to in the patent application of AOD 9604 lodged by Metabollic Pharmaceuticals Pty Ltd as reported in today’s media.
Both doctors at the Club have reviewed all MRI reports of all players from August 2011 to the end of 2012. They are both of the opinion that the case studies in the application are inconsistent with the MRI reports in their possession and therefore do not relate to any of the players at Essendon Football Club.
