I'm sure we've had a million threads on the Essendon doping scandal, but I wasn't sure which one to bump:
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/jun/09/lovett-murray-claims-essendon-supplements-program-harmed-daughter
| Quote: | | Lovett-Murray reportedly claims his three-year-old daughter, who was conceived about a year after the 2012 supplements program ended, has a mysterious growth on her chest and behavioural issues. The 34-year-old is suing his former club over health fears for his daughter, News Corp Australia has reported. |
It could of course be unrelated. Either way, this remains the most appalling thing about the doping controversy to me: not the fact that a football club might have had an unfair advantage in a professional sporting competition, but that young men in a highly authoritarian environment were treated as medical guinea pigs by their trusted superiors. If a causal link is found between Lovett-Murray's daughter's issues and what he was injected with, I hope the Essendon Football Club get brutalised by the courts. They should never stop paying for what they've done.

I agree, and the first step is to get them to identify exactly what they were injected with so that appropriate treatment can be given as necessary

Agreed. IF a causal link can be found.

| Most of us have mysterious growths on our chests and behavioural issues, don't we? |
