What about any Essendon player that was banned for 12 months under the performance enhancing drugs ban?

Ablett snr hasn't been inducted yet has he so see you in about 15 years or more Ben.
You can't not induct Essendon players because of that error but mind you the only one I can think of that could be inducted is Fletcher and I don't believe he was part of that supplements saga anyway.
They spoke about this on Footy Classified last night. It seems that players with clouds over them wait a few extra years to be inducted.
Ablett was inducted in 2005, later than he otherwise may have been but only 5 years after Alisha Horan passed away.
Fletcher was caught up in the Essendon supplements saga and copped the ban (although he had already retired). Caro thinks he may have to wait a few years as a result. Personally I don't have a problem with Fletcher being inducted.
Cousins I can't see being inducted any time soon as he has in no way reformed his behaviour.
