Bombers players were used as "virtual human guinea pigs" by the club, receiving a banned substance at a volume and frequency far exceeding that of its clinical trials.
Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) is investigating whether the performance of players given certain supplements, including AOD-9604, was measured against teammates who had not received the drugs and whether results were passed to external parties.
AOD-9604 is not approved for human use and is listed as a banned substance for athletes by the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA).
