Essendon Supplement Saga: Former Essendon AFL player Hal Hunter fights to learn what he was injected with

By

Hal Hunter, a former rookie player of AFL's Essendon, continues his legal battle with a lawsuit agains Essendon for their infamous supplements program. His lawyer expects other players to sue the club.

According to 3AW693 News Talk, Hal Hunter's lawyer stated that there should be no surprise when other former players who went to Essendon will take legal actions to the club. It is now known that Hunter is being currently treated for depression and anxiety as a result of the uncertain products he's been injected during the club's famous supplement regime. Professor Patrick Keyzer said he'd understand if the other players will take things to the court. He added that "Hal doesn't know how this is going to affect his future."

Stephen Dank said that Hunter should not fear anything related to his health as reported by The Age. Being the man in the drugs saga, Dank claimed that he didn't seek the help of biochemist Shane Carter, a convicted drug importer, to act as source of peptides for the program. Moreover, Dank insisted that the substance was a mixture of 21 amino acids and vitamins which can be bought in a chemist residing at Australia. He concluded that every player was told and knew exactly what was in the mix. Dank added that the drugs were imported from New Mexico.

Furthermore, Daily Mail wrote that Hunter could be injected with products designed for horses. ASADA CEO Ben McDevitt believes that the products are not for human consumption as he said that "my understanding is that according to the evidence of one of the players, they had at some point seen a label on a jar which said: 'For equine use only."

Hunter's medical records were sealed but was eventually produced once his team told the club that they're taking things to legal justice. However, the club didn't present the complete details regarding the supplements that he's been given. Hunter told the media about the claims of the company against him saying that he's a disgruntled ex-employee, implying that he's not important.
