Essendon call in AFL and ASADA to investigate the club's training regime and suppliments given to players.
Victory University Institute of Sport's Simon Outram chats to Fox Sports News about the use of performance-enhancing drugs in light of the Essendon stimulant scandal.

THE Suns are bracing themselves for an audit of their physical development programs because the two key sport scientists at the centre of the Essendon supplement scandal both spent time at the Gold Coast club in 2011.
Investigations have been launched into the supplement taking regime at the Bombers under sports science guru Steve Dank and Essendon high performance manager Dean Robinson.
The Suns are prepared to assist the AFL if investigators find a need to go over the club's 2011 practices.
Dank, who worked previously at five NRL clubs in NSW including Manly during their 2008 premiership season, left the Bombers at the end of last season amid the fallout from an injury epidemic.
Yesterday he was cast as the main player in a supplement regime that has engulfed the club.
Robinson, stood down by Essendon last night, was a key member of the Geelong off-field team in premiership years 2007 and 2009.
He left Geelong midway through 2010 before working at Gold Coast for the 2011 season.
Geelong last night declared they would co-operate with the ASADA-AFL inquiry into the use of supplements at Essendon.
Robinson moved to Essendon for the 2012 season on the recommendation of Geelong premiership coach Mark Thompson, who had arrived a year earlier to be assistant Bombers coach.
For six seasons from 2004, Dank worked under Manly coach Des Hasler.
Dank's most radical manoeuvre at Manly came in 2008, when reports emerged that Manly players were being injected with calf blood.ntsG The bovine booster is permitted under the anti-doping code if injected into body tissue or muscle.nte
A well-placed Manly insider yesterday said that issues began to emerge when at least one player was asked to have the injections administered intravenously.
At the Suns, Dank was a part-time consultant for about three months at the end of 2010, the summer before they entered the AFL.
Suns insiders say he was at the club six or seven times in total, mainly advising on setting up their program, and had minimal contact with players.
Dank was not involved in administering or distributing any supplements.
The Suns say they have nothing to worry about from his time at the club.
However if Robinson, his boss at Essendon and the Suns, is found to have been involved in any malpractice, the Suns accept they will be forced to review the sport science practices under his 12 month tenure at the club.
