Supplements controversy
Main article: Essendon Football Club supplements controversy
On 5 February the Essendon Football Club asked Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) to investigate the concerns over the clubs possible use of un-approved supplements during the 2012 season.
An Independent review conducted by Ziggy Switkowski regarding the Essendon Football Club governance processes was released to the public on 6 May.
CEO Ian Robson hands in his resignation on 23 May. He is replaced by former Tatts Group CEO and Essendon board member Ray Gunston as the interim CEO.
Chairman David Evans resigns citing health issues on 27 July. Former Toll Holdings Managing Director and Essendon board member Paul Little is elected to replace him as the new Essendon Chairman.
On 27 August, the AFL charged the Essendon Football Club with breaking "Rule 1.6 - engaging in conduct that is unbecoming or likely to prejudice the interests or reputation of the Australian Football League or to bring the game of football into disrepute". There have been no player sanctions from ASADA, whose investigation is still ongoing.
The following charges were handed down against club and personnel:
- $2,000,000 fine
- Club forfeits place in finals and deemed to have finished 9th
- Loss of First and Second Round draft selections in 2013 and 2014 draft
- Club receives end of First Round selection in 2014 draft
- James Hird, Head Coach - 12-month suspension (backdated to 25 August 2013)
- Danny Corcoran, Football Manager - 6-month suspension (two months of which is suspended for a period of two years)
