Dank wasn't working alone at Manly. He had an assistant, known only by the nickname "the Gazelle". He also assisted Dank at two other football club - the NRL's Cronulla and the AFL's Essendon - where he provided a wide variety of peptides to players. The Gazelle is this man, Darren Hidder, the owner of Advanced Sports Nutrition, or ASN. It specialises in manufacturing peptides and supplements for weightlifters and body builders. Hidder has told 7.30 he sold a variety of ASN supplements including Humanifort and the peptide and protein blends Extreme Blast and The Mix to Manly and Cronulla players out of the boot of his car at the club's car parks. Hidder sold ASN supplements to Dank and his co-directors at the Medical Rejuvenation Clinic - set up by Dank in 2009 with bodybuilder Adam Van Spanje and his business partner Zaheer Azmi. Van Spanje and co-director Azmi were closely connected to outlaw motorcycle groups the Rebels and the Comancheros. Azmi is also believed to have worked at one stage for a Kings Cross night club part-owned by alleged underworld figure John Ibrahim. The Medical Rejuvenation Clinic sells a wide variety of supplements, including the peptides at the centre of the current investigation into performance-enhancing drugs in football. The clinic also sells supplements prohibited for use by elite athletes. It's Dank's dual role consulting to football teams, while at the same time running a private peptide clinic selling prohibited substances that has set alarm bells rings with ASADA.

Beale to centre?
He will be sacked. 650k a year tied up in a player who has little respect for the head coach, other team mates and fans. He has so much potential and as a Raiders fan it will be disappointing to see him go but no one man is bigger than the club and he has really dug his own grave. What happen if one of us did the same to our employer? I dare say we would be sacked also. This is alot like the Carnet saga of 08. Ah well what ever happens happens, onwards and upwards! On the positive it will free up some $$$$ to retain a few players off contract
yes its time for Dugan to move on No one has any respect for him anymore the players have no faith in him the coaches have none the fans are sick of him . he has been like a cancer for the club and when they get rid of him i think there will be a marked change in the raiders he actually has been holding them back. Imagine the players they see the clubs marquee player as a soft spoilt brat getting overpaid and not putting in at training games doing his community work etc it must have been annoying for them now they dont have to worry about they can just think about footy. Im with Girds Reece will offer the raiders more at full back and instead of carrying dugan they can have a full bench of players . Anyway the players have said even they want fergo to stay cause at least he puts in at training and games but the dont want dugan cause he doesnt give a 100% at eithier. Time to take the trash to the bin good bye dugan

You can have him. I'll even put my hand up to drop him at Leichhardt.
I wouldn't be surprised to see him end up at the Dragons. His family have always been big Dragon fans.

I am hearing these rumours as well, just because the Dragons have salary cap room every man, dog and manager are using St George to inflate their off contract players worth .......I'm hearing Frank Pritchard is on the radar as well, please no we don't him either.
Dugan may be a very talented player but he would not fit into the culture, we don't want him, he drinks pineapple cruisers.

I would like to think that when Dugan fronts the board this afternoon he will be dressed respectfully, apologise and show remorse for the way he is acted. If he was able to behave like a man instead of a spoilt brat I would be in favour of Canberra retaining him and helping make himself a better person.
Unfortunately I can see this playing out like Carney in 2008. He will swagger into the board meeting arrogantly and dressed in shorts, T-shirt and things, show no remorse for his actions and demand to be the first picked this weekend. The boards response will be, "Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out", and so it should be for the betterment of the club and the game.
Apparently when he was injured last year and RR was paying fullback ( and killing it) his teammates used to tease him and say he would have to come back on the wing or through the Mounties. Dugan would then say if that happened I would call my manager and find another club tomorrow! Inflated ego much? Good player, loads of potential but not even in the top 3 NRL fullbacks ATM.
