BANNED sports scientist Stephen Dank says he has his suspicions on who fired shots into his home after he suffered minor injuries.

Numerous shots were fired into Dank's Ascot Vale home around 2.20am on Saturday, police say.

He was released from hospital in the early hours of the morning, but is said to have a cut forehead after a bullet grazed the bridge of his nose.

Dank says he's thankful he's OK and has an idea as to why shots were fired.

"I have my suspicions as to why this has happened," he said in a written statement released to Channel Nine.

"I will say I will not be silenced or bullied and will continue in my attempt to put the truth out there."

Police say they will investigate financial links and associates of Dank, according to Channel Nine.

Serious crime response team detectives have been at Dank's house for the majority of the day and have conducted line searches. 

They have taken CCTV footage from a neighbour and suspect the shooter was on foot since there was no vehicle access near Dank's address, according to Nine News.

Victoria Police confirmed serious crime response team detectives were investigating a "firearms incident" which occurred in Ascot Vale in the early hours of Saturday morning.

"Emergency services were called to a Gillespie Avenue home after receiving reports that a man had been injured in a shooting at 2.20am," Victoria Police said in a statement.

"The 52-year-old man suffered a graze injury to his forehead after several shots were fired at the front of the house," the statement said.

"There was one other person in the house at the time of the incident but they were not injured.

"The man was conveyed to hospital and a crime scene has been established."

Dank was suspended for life by the AFL Anti-Doping Tribunal for his role in the Essendon supplements scandal.

The former Bombers employee was one of the faces of the long-running saga which resulted in 34 past and present players from the club being suspended by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
