  • Corporate Governance Failings and Performance Enhancing Drugs
    A tale of two football codes: Corporate governance failings and performance enhancing drugs Abstract In 2013, two well-known Australian sporting clubs – the Essendon Football Club (AFL) and the Cronulla Sharks Rugby League Club (NRL), were both investigated for performance enhancing drugs in their elite sports science programs. News of the initial investigations was met with disbelief by supporters, players, club administrators and the respective governing bodies – the AFL and the NRL. What followed was a period of intense and rigorous independent investigation by Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA) and the AFL and the NRL. In August and December 2013 respectively, severe sanctions were handed down to the Essendon Football Club and the Cronulla Sharks. This paper provides an overview of the background to the saga in each of the respective clubs. It provides a time-line of the events before, during and after the initial investigation by the independent bodies. The paper concludes by linking the events at the respective clubs, to short-comings in a number of important corporate governance practices. Keywords: accountability, corporate governance, international sports associations, crisis, performance enhancing drugs, National Rugby League (NRL), Australian Football League (AFL) 1 A tale of two football codes: Corporate governance failings and performance enhancing drugs 1. Introduction Financial stakes involved in professional sport can create powerful incentives for the use of performance enhancing substances (Rapp 2009). Much empirical evidence supports a strong link between on-field results and club revenues (e.g. Morrow 1999; Barajas, Fernandez- Jardon et al. 2005; Pinnuck and Potter 2006; Bernile and Lyandres 2011; Bell, Brooks et al.
