Essendon FC investigated over supplements

It's high IGF-1 levels that are responsible for the fridge gut
So it's not really the GH it's more the insulin usage IN COMBINATION with the GH.
Take a look at Dorian Yates who was the one of the first to really abuse GH. Large waist but no fridge gut. Then look at Coleman who started abusing the insulin as well (Yates used insulin but he did not abuse it) and you start seeing the fridge gut from massive IGF-1 levels

No that supplement would have dangerous levels of iron in it because it's for horses
It says the drug is TV-500, that horse shit is just a collection of vitamins
 
It's actually Tb-500 aka thymosin beta 4..a peptide used in cardiovascular rehab patients eg, heart attack ect.
 
I remember a few years ago when they did the calf blood injections, the papers were all over it, but it wasnt illegal and some articles were spruiking it. Ill see if i can find them.
The same papers are now hammering Dank and anyone associated with his methods
I know Dank quite well, he's a decent bloke

Manly eye calf blood injections

MANLY are considering using a controversial calves' blood extract to help boost the endurance of their players in the lead-up to the finals.

The Sea Eagles, who are top of the premiership, have adopted a cutting-edge approach to the use of science in recent years, and an emphasis on altitude training has been credited for their second-half dominance this season.

Under the guidance of physiologist Steve Dank, Manly have led the way in introducing DNA testing of players, GPS tracking to monitor their performances at training, and the use of radical herbal supplements such as the $300 per litre anti-inflammatory product Lact-Away, which is made from the bark of French pine and was initially a racehorse treatment.

They were also the first NRL club to use live video streaming of matches, which allows Des Hasler and his coaching staff to review aspects of the game while it is being played.

Now the Sea Eagles are understood to be planning to go a step further by injecting Actovegin, a product containing calves' blood extract that has become popular with athletes in Europe, who believe it helps to heal muscular injuries and increases stamina.

Manly chief executive Grant Mayer said he was unaware of whether the club used Actovegin and referred the Herald to Hasler, but he declined to discuss any of the Sea Eagles' training methods. "I won't be talking about any of that. I'm happy to talk about the games but I don't want to talk about what we do at training," Hasler said.

Dank said: "I don't do media interviews. What the sports science department does stays in-house."

Most commonly used for the treatment of soft-tissue injuries, Actovegin also improves the circulation of oxygen in the blood and offers similar benefits to altitude training, which the Sea Eagles do in their state-of-the-art gymnasium at the NSW Sports Academy in Narrabeen.

Fitted with masks as they work out on treadmills, the Manly players are able to train with a reduced oxygen intake that makes it easier when they play in normal conditions.

The NRL was not aware of any clubs using Actovegin, but has no concerns as long as they do not breach anti-doping guidelines.

"We work very hard to make sure our players and clubs are aware of the WADA rules as part of our education program," said NRL public affairs manager John Brady. "There are many supplements players can legally take from vitamins to other things and provided they fit within the WADA guidelines it is a decision for them to make on a player by player and club by club basis."

Actovegin gained prominence in AFL after Geelong's Max Rooke last year underwent a radical treatment in Germany to help him to return from what was initially diagnosed as a season-ending hamstring tear.

Richmond midfielder Mark Coughlan recently endured 102 injections of Actovegin over a two-week period under the supervision of German soft-tissue specialist Dr Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfarth in a bid to save his career after suffering repeated hamstring problems as he attempted to come back from a knee reconstruction.

Muller-Wohlfarth, a team doctor with the Bayern Munich football club, is reputed to be the miracle man who helps heal injuries with a concoction of calves' blood extract, cockerel's crest, manuka honey, anti-inflammatories and anaesthetics.

His list of clients is impressive: Socceroo Harry Kewell, British marathon runner Paula Radcliffe, British stars Michael Owen and Darren Gough, and US sprinter Maurice Greene.

A stream of Australian athletes struggling to repair hamstrings and soft-tissue injuries, Jana Rawlinson included, have also found their way to his Munich clinic, but the unconventional methods of Muller-Wohlfarth are scientifically untested. Eight years ago the IOC looked at banning calves' blood extract when a number of international teams imported the product into Australia for the Sydney Olympics. But the IOC medical experts could find no evidence it helped transport oxygen.

The World Anti Doping Agency has not banned the product, nor is it on its current "watch-list" of drugs to be monitored. ASADA chairman Richard Ings said Actovegin was not on the prohibited list, but injecting it intravenously - as opposed to intra-muscularly - was illegal.

Calves blood injects hopes | thetelegraph.com.au

SIX stages of 17 injections of calves blood extract have given Richmond midfielder Mark Coughlan new hope of an imminent return to the AFL.

Coughlan today trained for the first time after returning from Germany, where he underwent treatment on his persistent hamstring injury with soft-tissue specialist Dr Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfarth.

Although jetlagged after a flight back from Munich, Coughlan was pleased with how he felt after training, and hopeful he could soon play for the first time since midway through the 2006 season.

"The body generally feels good, I haven't really had the chance to give it a good run yet, but at this stage it's been a success,'' he said of his treatment.

"I won't know until I get a full week of training in and play again and get a bit of confidence back in the body, but at this stage I do feel quite good.''

Muller-Wohlfarth is regarded as a world leader in treating soft-tissue injuries, although his methods are left-field and involve injections of Traumeel, an analgesic and anti-inflammatory, and Actovegin, an extract from calves blood.

But the athletes he has helped return from injury include Ronaldo, Michael Owen, Paula Radcliffe, Kelly Holmes and Maurice Greene, as well as members of the German soccer team and from his Bundesliga club Bayern Munich.

Last year the doctor helped Geelong's Max Rooke overcome a hamstring problem to play in the Cats' premiership triumph.

Coughlan, who underwent 10 injections into his spine and seven into his hamstring every 48 hours for almost a fortnight, said the doctor's success rate and opinion his injury could be overcome had given him hope that he could play again soon.

"Just reading into this bloke and seeing how much success he's had with athletes and seeing some athletes come through the door that have ... had a lot of success sort of gives you a bit of self-belief,'' he said.

Coughlan, 26, won Richmond's 2003 best and fairest award, but has played only 41 games of a possible 98 since. He missed all of last season through a serious knee injury, but has been sidelined by hamstring problems since.
 
"calves blood extract" That one little word makes a pretty big difference, but I guess it's not as exciting as picturing players being injected with little vials of full blood..
 
Danks worked with Essendon at one point too right? I knew he'd been around a few clubs. He's sueing Cronulla for their ex Chairman talking about him giving players drugs is a press release.

Its just colostrum with a more media-friendly name.

BN sells it.

Is it though. Colostrum is just first milk after calving. Hard to call that calf blood extract.

Sure it's not the plasma from the blood. That's what I'm getting in my knees but its my own blood not calves blood.
