"We did escape before he (Dank) got his claws in," said Sharks coach Shane Flanagan (Getty Images)

Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan admits his club dodged a bullet in parting company with Stephen Dank shortly before the controversial sports scientist became a central figure in the Essendon drugs furore.

Dank, who first came to prominence at Manly in the mid to late 2000s, joined Essendon after leaving Cronulla and now finds himself under fire for overseeing the Bombers' questionable supplement and sports science program during the 2012 pre-season.

Essendon is under investigation from ASADA and the AFL after flagging potential illegalities connected to the supplement program.

While not accusing Dank of any wrongdoing, Flanagan praised Cronulla's medical and training staff for ending the association before it developed further.

"I don't want to criticise other clubs by coming out and saying we were the smart ones but we did escape before he (Dank) got his claws in," Flanagan told Sportal on Wednesday.

"We've got some things in place with our doctor and physio and they're across the medical side of things and the use of supplements.

"They take control of that - that's the way we run.

"He (Dank) wasn't involved with us in any official capacity. He just helped us source some GPS data and GPS equipment and helped us with the purchase of equipment for our gym.

"That's as far as it went."

Dank worked at Manly for five years at the invitation of then coach Des Hasler, but there is no suggestion of any irregularity.

The Sea Eagles reached two grand finals during Dank's stint, taking out the 2008 title with a record 40-0 win over Melbourne.

"The Manly Warringah Sea Eagles employed Stephen Dank in an official capacity as a consultant between 2006 and 2010," the club said in a statement on Wednesday.

"During that time, we never had any concerns.

"We always complied with all anti-doping protocols of the WADA Code and the NRL.

"The club will make no further comment."

We escaped before he got his claws in ?? Did We ? Thanks god if thats the case , from todays tele http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sp...afl-drug-scandal/story-e6frexnr-1226571172109

In 2011, Dank did some consulting for Penrith and also took his expertise to the Cronulla Sharks.

Regularly dressed in a suit, he helped the Sharks source the best GPS technology and remodel their new gym at Sharks Stadium.

When the season started he became more involved in dealing with players individually, which concerned Sharks doctor David Givney.

According to a Sharks insider, some players began to display mysterious bruising after being given Warfarin to thin their blood and aid the flow of oxygen.

A fall-out between Givney and Dank led to the sports scientist leaving the club. He did some consultancy for the Gold Coast Suns before arriving at Essendon last year.

Nothing will happen. As it said. It was all borderline stuff. I don't think they broke any rules but what they did can be called.... questionable at best.
This is the last thing the sharks need. Don't get involved with any sort of dodgy stuff when we are on the up n up.
Can we get Thresher Shark to say this so Flanno reads his posts.

 

[Thresher]

That's the way Flanno, no dodgy stuff

I used to be so slow that I'd get six of the best for bringing the concept of sport into disrepute
