Trial transcripts leaked. See for all the glorious detail how the AFL tribunal made this go away (temporarily).

Company rep did a press interview, ergo can't be trusted, inference players not guilty. Self interest of a person in China being pursued by a couple of suits in Australia.515. Reference has been made to Mr Xu’s statement to the ASADA investigator about GL
Biochem. The Tribunal has accepted his statement that he supplied TB4 to Mr
Charter. However, the statement about the company is self-serving. Mr Xu is
responding to an investigator about the supply of substances by his company, which
are the subject of an investigation. In these circumstances, it can be expected that Mr
Xu would wish to portray his company in a favourable light. In the Tribunal’s view,
little weight can be attached to his statement about the company and his assertion that
what in fact was supplied was TB4.
516. Further, if there was a certificate of analysis of the TB4 purportedly supplied, it might
be expected that Mr Xu would refer to it in his discussion with the journalist and the
investigator. It is something of significance. He did not produce any documents to
ASADA and told the investigator he had provided all the documents that his company
still had on hand to the journalist. However, no reference is made to a certificate in
the newspaper article. Having regard to the purpose of the article, it can be inferred
from this that no certificate was supplied to the journalist by Mr Xu, which tends to
support a conclusion that there was no such certificate.
Fair dinkum.
