Little, Hird deny rift over handling of supplements scandal
Essendon denies a rift exists over the handling of the supplements scandal
ESSENDON chairman Paul Little and suspended coach James Hird deny a rift exists over the club's handling of the supplements scandal.
Hird has testified that he disagreed with repeated public statements from Little and his predecessor David Evans about the club's decision to report its 2012 supplements program to the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority and the League, but had agreed to toe the Bombers' party line.
But at the conclusion of the Federal Court hearing on Wednesday, Hird said he still enjoyed a strong relationship with the club hierarchy.
