ASADA has announced that it well investigate Stephen Dank's claims that he supplied drugs to the Gold Coast Suns in 2010.

Dank yesterday claimed he supplied former Suns player Nathan Bock with banned peptide CJC-1295.

The claims came after Bock was yesterday cleared of doping by ASADA, five years after he was accused of allegedly injecting himself with the banned drug.

ASADA has responded to the claims with the following statement:

"ASADA considers all information relating to potential anti-doping violations, and this new information, particularly its veracity, will be assessed by our investigation unit. 

"Over the last three years, Mr Dank has consistently refused to speak to ASADA's investigators. ASADA spoke with Mr Dank today, and he again refused to offer any assistance or information.

"Mr Dank's alleged admissions overnight are starkly at odds with his previous position on the matter, as ASADA notes he is currently appealing the AFL Tribunal's finding that he attempted to traffic CJC-1295 to the Gold Coast Suns.

"ASADA needs reliable evidence and testimony in order to be able to bring forward cases of possible anti-doping violations.

"The journalist in question has been approached today by ASADA and requested to provide the details of conversations he has had with Mr Dank."
