The Essendon supplements saga will return to the spotlight when controversial sports scientist Stephen Dank fronts the AFL appeals board on Monday.Dank, the architect of Essendons ill-fated 2012 supplements program, was found guilty of 10 breaches of the AFLs anti-doping code in April last year.He was subsequently banned for life from working in any sport in Australia or overseas by the AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal.Dank will attempt to have the ban overturned at an open hearing held by the AFL appeals board.The appeal will be heard at AFL House on Monday and is expected to go for three days.Dank will be allowed to call witnesses and plead his case directly to the board, should he choose to take the stand.The appeals board issued a statement on Friday to clarify Danks rights at the open hearing after a Fairfax Media report stated only written submissions would be allowed.The statement contained in the article that oral submissions (and by inference that oral evidence) would not be allowed at the hearing of Mr Danks appeal is totally incorrect, the statement from board members Peter OCallaghan QC, Murray Kellam AO and Geoff Giudice AO read.All parties shall be entitled to call and rely upon such oral or written evidence as is relevant and make such oral or written submissions as they consider appropriate.Thirty-four past and present Essendon players missed the 2016 season after they were banned in January for anti-doping code violations arising from the supplements program Dank oversaw.Ten players remain at Essendon, while another six have changed clubs and the rest have either retired or been delisted.All 16 active players have been allowed to join their clubs for pre-season training and many have expressed a desire to move on from the supplements saga.But it has rarely been away from the headlines, with the AFLs decision on Tuesday to strip Jobe Watson of his 2012 Brownlow Medal causing a furore.

MILAN -- No one seems capable of stopping Juventus from winning an historic sixth successive Serie A after it beat second-place Roma 1-0 to move seven points clear at the top of the table on Saturday.Once again, Gonzalo Higuain fired his side to the win, netting his fourth goal in three matches in the 14th minute.It wasnt a fundamental victory because the season is still long, but one which gives us conviction and which creates a little gap, Juventus goalkeeer Gianluigi Buffon said. It allows us to get to Christmas with the best feelings.Since Serie A was founded in 1929, no club has won more than five straight titles.Torino won five in a row from 1943-49 (including a season that was canceled due to World War II), Inter Milan from 2006-10, and Juventus in 1931-35, and currently.We need to be really good to close the gap again, Roma coach Luciano Spalletti said. We were good in stopping their attacks but then we made errors in certain decisions and they controlled their lead.I liked the teams attitude but you saw it only after we went behind, we conceded an avoidable goal and we should have done more in the opening minutes ... we leave very upset, we should have got a result and we didnt manage to.Juventus fell to a surprise 3-1 defeat at Genoa at the end of November and Buffon believes that has sparked his side into life.In the last three matches, after the Genoa game, I saw a team with identity, the doggedness from before, Buffon said. But we mustnt think that the advantage in the league allows us to focus more on the Champions League. That would be a mistake. A team like Juve must never feel satisfied.Within 30 seconds of kickoff, Kostas Manolas barged Mario Mandzukic over the advertising boards to set the tone.Higuain opened the scoring with a fantastic solo effort, as he shrugged off challenges from Daniele De Rossi and Manolas and muscled his way into the area before curling into the left side of the net.It was HHiguains 10th league goal for Juventus since transferring from rival Napoli for 90 million euros ($99 million) after scoring 36 goals last season to break a 66-year-old Serie A record.ddddddddddddRoma strove for the equalizer but never really tested Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.The only negative note for Juventus was former Roma midfielder Miralem Pjanic going off early in the second half injured.Roma can cut the gap back to four points before the Christmas break as it hosts Chievo Verona on Thursday, the day before Juventus plays AC Milan in the Italian Super Cup in Doha, Qatar.AC MILAN 0, ATALANTA 0Despite no goals, it was an entertaining match on a foggy night at San Siro but AC Milans already faint Serie A title hopes were dented further.Third-place Milan fell to nine points behind Juventus. Atalanta remained sixth.Milan was looking to bounce back from a 1-0 defeat to Roma, while Atalanta had lost two consecutive matches following a run of nine wins and a draw.There was a frantic finish to the first half as Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma pulled off a fantastic save to keep out Roberto Gagliardinis header from point blank range. Immediately afterward Luca Antonellis effort crashed off the left post at the other end.EMPOLI 2, CAGLIARI 0Empoli ended its goal drought with a rare Levan Mchedlidze brace, but Cagliari had one penalty saved and another revoked.Empoli had only seven goals in 16 Serie A matches and hadnt found the back of the net in its two previous matches.Its goals came from an unlikely source as Mchedlidze netted in each half. The Georgia forward last scored in May 2015, when he also netted a double in a 4-3 defeat at Inter Milan.Empoli moved five points clear of the relegation zone ahead of the rest of the weekends fixtures. Cagliari was six points better off. ' ' '
